水龜伯古早味
Made our way from Tianmu over to Shipai to check out this place. Taking up a number of storefronts along an alleyway, the shop sells retro desserts like tapiocas, rice-flour dumplings, and shaved ices, all in a retro look reminiscent of post-war Taiwan.
The plain mochi coated with the peanut-soybean-sugar powder is a classic Hakka dessert, and it was good enough for the SO to order take-out to bring home for mom&grandpa. The shop also offer some "interesting" flavors like macha-flavored silken tofu with barley bits for that modern touch. Personally, I had the classic warm 豆花 in the brown-sugar-and-ginger syrup and I liked it that way. Not sure if it was the best-ever versions of those particular desserts, but having it all in one place in a clean, atmospheric locale certainly made it a worthwhile visit.
