Taiwan's Best Sun Cakes

Taiwanese suncakes are a snack originating from Taichung City, Taiwan, and are usually boxed as a specialty gift. The shape of the suncake is almost round, and there is no fixed size. In the early days, they were made in larger sizes and were often divided into four pieces before consumption, while in recent years, smaller suncakes have appeared. The crust of suncakes is fragile and can easily fall off when eaten. The outer box is also quite distinctive, and was first designed by Mr. Yan Shui Long with a sunflower pattern.

In order to make suncakes with more flavor and rich layers of texture, the research team used butter instead of lard, and used germ flavor for the outer crust of the suncake and milk flavor for the inner filling. Such a product has a high degree of customer acceptance and has become the store's new star product.

Which brand of Taiwan sun cake is delicious?

The town of sun cakes is still in Taichung, concentrated in the Central District, Liberty Road generation. I personally think the best is the Jiaweixuan on Model Street in the western district, which is currently used by the Taichung city government to send to foreign guests, and it's a huge portion, and unlike other vendors that use animal fats to make it, Jiaweixuan uses butter, so vegetarians can eat it too. But for the average tourist, it's not easy to find. On Freedom Road, there is a concentration of sun cake stores, and I personally recommend A-Ming Shi, Nine Suns, and New Sun Hall.
