Ho Hsing 1947

Walking through the streets of Dadaocheng you will find interesting shops and restaurants to visit. I would recommend this place it serves a traditional dessert. We tried several on site with the rice cakes steamed fresh, we also took a variety back home. Eat in the shop with their tea highly recommended

Run into it unexpectedly and was intrigued by the display, small cakes, cut into weird shapes, and colors. I got 2 of them. Delightful, soft, chewy, balanced, with a very interesting fiĺling. Loved it!

As a foreigner, this is my very first time trying this kind of a dessert. When I first came into the shop, the employees were very welcoming and understanding, they knew my mandarin wasn't fluent but they still try their best to explain slowly.

The cakes are so beautifully crafted, their packaging really shows class and very suitable as a gift. The cake itself has many variations, but I chose what the employee recommended me; the white in the picture has red bean in it and the purple one has pear in it. The price for the white one is $45 and $55 for the purple.

You can ask the employee to heat the cake and make it ready for you to eat on the spot. They heated mine and gave me some hot tea (really good tea and nice fragrance).

A small cafe that served local traditional desserts, to dine in, expect to order at least a set per pax (2 desserts + a beverage)

so
i got the tea set
so
i could squat & chill in the little modern take
on
traditional tea house

& i kinda
got fascinated with all the "connex" furniture
that
you can take apart & pack away

the
staff set me up with the staples

the
fluffy white nibble is a loose rice cake served warm
straight from steamer & best eaten soon

with
black sesame inside -- just a wee bit sweet

same
goes for the two-toned
coconut & rice sticky cake -- served chilled

again
all the natural flavours of ingredients
tasted

tea ?
taipei 18 -- that's the name of the tea

served
hot or cold

fun
fact (if you get cold tea) it's made the day before
whole 24 hrs for the tea leaves to steep

i said
to staff to compliment & comment :

a
perfect balance

i think
the back area is perfect for a party of 10 - 12

everyone
get a tea set -- nibble on the many varieties of delicacies

& when
they're not looking -- disassemble the furniture
& walk out with it 😉

just kidding
but this place that's been around since 1947
ain't
no joke :

they
know their teas & the delicacies
that
go with them

check
out their gift sets too

can shop online as well

Freshly steamed and served with a complimentary tea, great for the self-declared connoisseurs of any gastronomic genre. Take extra note of texture and temperature—perfection. Worth the price tag, unlike most eateries on this street.

Better to take away than eat here. You don’t need to seat there for the interior design.

Beautiful yet tasty. Their buns and drinks are also delicious.

Sweet little shop for traditional 江浙 pastries.

A bit expensive, but the traditional sesame flavor is pretty authentic. Recommend eating at the store so they steam the cake for you. Bonus, they give you a small cup of good tea to go with the cake.

Friendly staff. Nice snack shop with plenty of small Chinese pastries to try. Order what you like and they’ll serve it on a tray in a small paper bag with a tiny paper cup of tea.

So tasty, I’ve never tried this kind of steamed cake after living in Taipei more than one year, so it was really special and different and delicious. Would recommend!

i really enjoy the pastry here. It looks so beatiful and the atmosphere here just cannot let you wanna to leave.

The best 鬆糕 in town.

The Taiwanese style snacks tastes so good. Makes me feel like I was in Kyoto.

Love the food. Very cute and decorative. And it’s not too sweet either.

Pretty good 👍🏻

Traditional sweets in a modernized way

Very good sweet store.

My moms favorite! Amazing place.
