Pineapple Cake

鳳梨酥與絕配台灣高山茶. Pineapple cake is the best known pastry in Taiwan. Although called cake, the crust is made with dough similar to pâte brisée, giving it a delicate, rich flavor. Filling is made from freshly minced pineapple cooked to jam-like texture. Pineapple cake matches best with Taiwan High Mountain teas. High Mountain Teas are lightly roasted and oxidized to keep the maximum aroma from leaves. A sip of the tea after a bite of the cake perfectly balances the sweetness of the savory pastry. Yummy!

Traveling around the world, I’ve seen how those Chinese take out mislead people’s perception about Chinese food. Wok fried, heavy seasoned with soy sauce and MSG, cornstarch thickened at all time is not authentic Chinese cooking. Real Chinese cuisine is mastering selections of fresh ingredients, seasonings, various cooking methods to deliver genuine taste of food that wow your taste buds. I’m no Michelin chef but someone who knows how authentic Chinese cuisine should taste like. Welcome to my dinning table and enjoy the real Chinese food. Bon appétit!
