VISITOR RATINGS & REVIEWS
Honk Kong style desserts, based on tedious preparation methods,
are hard to come by in Taiwan. Naturally, I was thrilled to
discover Tang, or "Heavenly Sweets", in the north
of Taipei. Tang borrows upon the ancient Chinese concept that
food nurtures both body and soul. Sweets served here are carefully
prepared according to tradition, and, according to the proprietor,
they help balance the body's Ying and Yang for longer life.
Ingredients are wholesome, like the rock sugar made from sugar
cane, and the selections are sensational, like Black Glutinous
Rice and Lotus Seeds in Coconut Milk (NT$75), North-south
Almond and Date Papaya Pudding (NT$75), Chuan Pei Pi Pa Honey
Dates (NT$85) and Broiled Milk Shake (NT$70) said to whiten
ladies' skin. This little dessert shop also offers Cantonese
"Dim Sum" so office workers can look forward to
special luncheon sets (NT$80 - NT$100) served with exquisite
desserts.--By Ken Lin
