I tried and compared "Taiwan Castella" sold by FamilyMart and Lawson! What is the difference between FamilyMart "Taste Taiwanese Castella with Cream" and Lawson "Taiwan Castella"?
First, I compared the two side by side. Lawson's Taiwanese castella is larger in size. Lawson is in a paper case and FamilyMart is in a plastic case.
FamilyMart "Taste Taiwan Castella with Cream"
" Taste Taiwan Castella with Cream " sold by FamilyMart is a dish that you can enjoy the dough with an egg feeling and the whipped cream with a gentle sweetness. The selling price is 218 yen (tax included, same below).
When it comes to Taiwanese castella, there are some that quiver like pudding when shaken, but FamilyMart's has the impression that it is a little closer to castella. The dough has a slightly dense and sweet finish. The cream is rich but not too sloppy and goes well with the dough. Is the crispy texture that you sometimes feel the powdered sugar sprinkled on the surface? Overall, the impression was that it was a simple Western confectionery rather than a "Taiwan castella".
Lawson "Taiwan Castella"
" Taiwan Castella " sold by Lawson is a fluffy dough that is carefully baked in a water bath with a separate meringue mixed with Hokkaido cream and milk. What I did. The price is 230 yen.
The first thing that surprised me was the fluffy feel of the fabric! You can fully enjoy the texture of the "puru" and "shuwa" dough that you imagine when you hear "Taiwan castella". The cream, which is milky and has the richness of milk, is mellow and delicious. It goes perfectly with the soft and airy fabric. It's fluffy and light, and I'm afraid that I can finish it in no time ...!
