The recent visit to Taipei was an impromptu. We didn't plan for too much of the itinerary but shortlisted a few Taiwanese delicacies.
We were staying at Dandy Hotel, there was a short walking distance from the hotel to the near by MTR station, but we were happy since there are a lot of shops, restaurants, bakeries along the road, who knows if there is any hidden gems somewhere.
We spotted Sweet Spice bakery one day while heading to the MTR station. The big banner attracted us, NT99 for a Tiramisu. I'm talking about one whole Tiramisu cake, not a piece of Tiramisu. But I didn't buy it right away, because I don't want to lug the box of cake to tour Taipei city.
So we bought it on the way back to hotel when we return. It's really fortunate that there are still a few left and thanks to myself that I still remember.
Upon arriving at the hotel, we took the cake out of the box and started to scoop a mouthful of the Tiramisu to savor. It was heaven. It tasted just nice. The bitter sweet taste compliments each other, it's creamy, soft and fluffy. The alcohol taste isn't that strong and just right, the cocoa powder on top brought out the sweetness of the mascarpone cheese with cream.
This is definitely the best Tiramisu I ever have, it beats the Tiramisu served by well known restaurants and 5 star hotels. Furthermore, it's only NT99.
We finished the whole cake that night itself without realizing and swear we're going to get another the next trip there.
If you happen to be in Taipei city now, visit them at 台北市忠孝東路3段6號
