hello – I was writing about the tea cakes I had in Taipei..and found your blog! I first encountered these little treats at a wedding in Houston, and then bought some at the Taipei airport..from a store that looked more like a Japanese cake shop. Do you know anything about this store? I wonder if it is a reputable tea cake company..?! Anyways. Thanks for the post- I will make sure to get the :Typhone: kind, if I ever buy them again from a store.

Hi enz! Thanks for stopping in! I haven’t seen the ‘good ones’ for sale in the US – usually just cheaper ones that are stale in the Chinese supermarkets. I’m visiting the US in December – send me an email and I’ll see what I can do about hooking you up with some (I’ll be in Madison, Wisconsin and Seattle, Washington, but could also mail you some).

Hi Tea Guy,
I dont know u like pineapple cakes before. I love them too. Especially it made from 李仔鵠.
And u know what, I bought a box of pineapple last Friday. I bet u never ate it before, since it made different way than traditional, it made by “real pineapple”…
I will give u one, if my son hasnt ate it out…

When I was in Taipei, there was one chain that stood out. They were quite expensive for the pineapple cakes but really good, they have about 4 stores in Taibei but are all over Taiwan. Very nice presentation as well – called Vigor Kobo.
