Vancouver’s summer is getting out of control this year, and sadly we don’t have an air conditioner at home. So I am trying to make different cold, refreshing drinks to get by while working from home. I made Peach Oolong Tea the other day, and I wanted to share this amazing summer detox drink with you all. It is a simple and quick recipe, and feel free to share your ways to stay cool this summer.

Caramel Pudding Cake (?????) has been a popular dessert in both Taiwan and Japan for a while now. It comprised three layers – caramel, egg pudding, and chiffon cake. It is best served fresh from the oven. And you can taste the silky smooth texture from the pudding, as well as the airy chiffon cake all in one bite.

Hot summer is still not leaving Vancouver, which is good news for me – I can make more popsicles. Recently, everyone is talking about this Taiwanese Pineapple Cake Ice Cream Bar (?????) from a Taiwanese brand, A-Chino (???). It was expensive, which is around $10 for 3 bars. So I decided to replicate this popsicle and made my own version.

Last night, I revisited the recipe on homemade Taiwanese Pineapple Cake. I previously had a hard time assembling them, and the filling bursted out while baking. I did more research this time, and finally they are nicely shaped and taste great. Though it is not as professional as store bought, it is still a great treat to satisfy my crave on Taiwanese snacks. I compile some tips and techniques, along with the recipe in this blog post. Have fun baking!

I noticed that Torafuku launches a new lunch menu, featuring Taiwanese beef noodles. At first, I thought it was just another hyped item, but not until I tried it myself, I am impressed by its flavor and how similar it is to the ones in Taiwan.
