Lemon Vanilla Tart

I love lemon tarts! This one was good, but not the best I’ve had. The crust was very hard, a little hard to cut into. And the lemon curd was tart, sweet, and delicious but a little soft and melty, it didn’t quite have the firmness I think a #lemontart needs. #sweettooth

One of the most popular vegan bakeries in Taipei, Yiihotang features a wide range of baked goods. They have a few locations in Taipei. One of my favourite items here is their salted ‘egg’ pastry. Using pumpkin as egg, they are able to veganize this famous pastry in Taiwan. The lightly salted ‘egg’ is paired with sweet red bean paste for a balance and satisfying dessert. Another highlight is the pineapple cake, a famous Taiwanese pastry dessert with pineapple jam filling.

Super light, refreshing, citrusy, yet sweet. This can be eaten inside the vegan restaurant next door.
