The Tuttimelon in Chinatown/North Beach reopened this weekend, now as a self-serve frozen yogurt shop and as a hybrid store along with Tea Way, i.e., they now offer pearl milk tea drinks and fried snacks. They also still serve gelato (since they also used to be Yoogo Gelato). They were offering free frozen yogurt today [...]

We went to Posh II (the second location of Posh) for dessert. Their desserts didn’t have much of a wow factor, although their hot apple pie drink really did taste like a warm apple pie, but in drink form. Everything else (chocolate with ice cream, yogurt drink, crepe) was okay.

The cakes at Crown beats the cakes at other drink places. My favorites were the green tea mousse cake and the strawberry chocolate tart. Crown is open 24 hours so it’s an ideal place for people with a sweet tooth to hang out. I also had their “Steamed Taffy Milk” and it was delicious.

You know what I love about Yong He Dou Jiang (永和豆漿)? It’s always open. Mimi and I went for a midnight run … to Yong He Dou Jiang. We took a break there and had some cold soybean milk. It’s only NT$10 for a cup of soybean milk. It’s served fresh, and at this price, [...]

Really, really good hot ginger milk tea at ADD Coffee (艾得咖啡). They add just the right amount of ginger to get the milk to a nice, spicy taste.

50嵐 is another milk tea (奶茶) chain that I see all over Taiwan. I just had it for the first time and their milk tea is good. What more is there to say?

I first heard about 85 Degrees Coffee (85°C/85度C咖啡) in California, but I knew its original location was in Taiwan. I went to try it this time, and the drinks were not bad. Cakes were pretty good too. Nothing outstanding, but not bad.

While walking through Ximending, Jennifer and I saw a long line at Ching Shin (清心福全冷飲站) so we had to go there. Not sure what we got, but we asked for their most popular drink. We got an iced tea with a strong tea taste. Maybe chrysanthemum?

I always see Ximen 101 House (西門町101) because it has a prominent spot in Ximending. Their special for the day was guava milk (芭樂牛奶). That’s what I had … and it tasted like milk, only thicker. It might have been because after they finished making my drink, it didn’t fill up the cup so they [...]
