The Original Sao Dou Hua — Restaurant in Taipei

I loved the bean curd so much that I went again the following day to have the exact same thing before I left Taipei 😋

As the place is small, be prepared to share tables when it gets crowded. I got there as soon as the cafe was opened so we were the first customers and there was...

Came here with my boyfriend after dinner for a nice refreshing dessert and this definitely got the spot!

There’s a total of 6 tofu dessert options here. We decided on the mango and watermelon combo and it was delicious. One portion of that can be shared with two people.

Also a reminder that a minimum spending of NT.45 per person. The watermelon and mango was NT.95 so that covered for the both of us! Also the staff were very friendly and whipped up the...
