48-hour pop-up in Taichung, my shopping list for souvenirs!

Taichung is a paradise for dessert lovers. This time, buy all the time-honored and new-style desserts highly recommended by locals. Each one is worth stocking up! **🍰 A must-buy classic time-honored brand** 1️⃣ **Xuehuazhai** ▫️「Salty Cake」: Taichung’s unique old-fashioned flavor! : The cakes are steamed daily, with fresh fried shallots in between. (Taste depends on the person, I am not used to it 😂) ▫️「Cake Roll」: Moist and not greasy, the fine sugar on the surface is the soul! I ate it once in Taipei and I can’t forget it! 2️⃣ **Master A Ming’s Sun Cake** ▫️ Crispy sun cake certified by old Taichung people! The layers are distinct, and the malt filling is sweet but not sticky. I buy it every time I come to Taichung. 3️⃣ **Jiaweixuan Fresh Milk Sun Cake** ▫️A modern version of sun cake with a strong milky flavor! Use fresh milk instead of malt, the taste is lighter❤️ Highly recommended👍👍I like to eat it icy, or bake it before eating, the filling will become runny❤️ 4️⃣ **Hakashin Honpo Nagasaki Cake** ▫️Hidden version of the king! Sold out before noon. The aroma is rich, but I used to have sugar crystals at the bottom, but for some reason they were gone this time, which was a bit disappointing. But the golden outer box with ribbon 🎁 looks very nice as a gift. **🌟 A must-have for modern dessert lovers** 5️⃣ **Baocai Food-Pure Taro Cake** ▫️ Hand-steamed Dajia taro + French Eiffel Tower fresh cream. The filling is full of taro and you can see the taro grains. It is low in sweetness and a must-try for taro lovers. 6️⃣ **Hua Niao Chuan-Raw Milk Lemon Thousand Layer Cake** ▫️Pingtung Jiuru lemon, lemon peel, Japanese Nakazawa fresh cream. Handmade Thousand Layer Leather, each piece has more than 20 layers. The sweet and sour taste makes me, a lemon lover, scream. The raw milk filling is refreshing and the Thousand Layer Skin is super thin~ (not suitable for people who are afraid of sourness) 7️⃣ **Today's Honey Mahua** ▫️Hidden snacks in private homes in Taichung! The outer layer of sugar coating is crispy, and the inner layer of the fried dough twist is fluffy and airy, the ultimate traditional snack! A pack costs NT$100, so I bought ten packs and brought them back to Taipei. 8️⃣ **Helv Puff** The filling is the king, with fresh French cream filling every day. The crispy crust is made of Japanese flour + fermented cream, and baked into a three-dimensional pattern like butterfly puff pastry. I tried the vanilla and lemon flavors myself, both were delicious, and tasted like ice cream. 💬 Are there any Taichung people who would recommend something I missed? I want to try solid egg rolls next time~ #台中伴手礼 #甜控 #台中必吃 #台中千层蛋糕 #台中必买
