After taking a walk in Yokohama Chinatown, I would like to buy a souvenir and go home with the pineapple cake "Pineapple Cake" from Chongqing Hotel! It is a very popular sweet in Taiwan, which is handmade by craftsmen one by one.
● Crispy juicy
Plenty of pineapple jam in cookie dough using French fermented butter. The slightly thicker dough has a crispy texture, and when chewed, it loosens slightly.
The pineapple jam that is tightly packed inside is tightly condensed, but when you put it in your mouth, it melts freshly. The aroma of butter and the juicy sweetness of pineapple are intertwined and delicious! It seems to go well with black coffee and roasted green tea.
The price is 270 yen per piece (tax included, same below). There is also a boxed gift set, so it's perfect for souvenirs.
● The most popular "ban mochi"
In fact, the most popular cake at Chongqing Hotel is not pineapple cake, but a sweet called "Bampin". It is made by wrapping a generous amount of black bean paste in castella dough, putting walnuts on it, and baking it.
The fabric is a little thin here. When you chew it, it will unravel. There is plenty of bean paste inside! The sweetness of azuki spreads smoothly with a soft and warm mouthfeel. A tremendous amount of food and a sense of satisfaction that you can get more than you can imagine. The crispy walnuts add a sharp touch to the taste and texture.
You can purchase a whole bottle (918 yen) or a cut palm size (270 yen). There are also 2-piece sets and 3-piece sets, so it's also a gift. It is a Chinatown souvenir that will surely please you if you give it to us.
