Zhishan Tofu Pudding

Review

Zhishan Tofu Pudding is in Lane 82 off Zhishan Road in Xitun District — a neighborhood dessert shop in the residential north of Xitun rather than a tourist strip, serving mostly nearby residents and office workers. A blogger on iFoodie introduced it as a high-value ice shop locals love, and it has gathered hundreds of Google reviews, impressive for a small lane shop.

It sells traditional Taiwanese sweets, centered on tofu pudding with shaved ice in summer. Diners most often mention the portions: one was surprised at the size of the bowl for a red bean milk dessert. Overall sweetness leans high in an old-style way, suiting those who like traditional sweet soups. Sources don't list a full menu or prices, so check on site; iFoodie puts average spend around NT$100 or less.

Praise centers on great value, big portions, low prices and a friendly owner — one diner said dessert shops this cheap and tasty are rare in the area. Public reviews are mostly positive, so there's little negative feedback; those who prefer light flavors may find it sweet, so ask whether the syrup can be adjusted when ordering.

Google lists Monday to Friday 12:00–21:00, Saturday 12:00–18:00, closed Sundays; iFoodie also shows a noon opening. It's in a lane surrounded by homes, so a scooter or walking is easiest; drivers should look for roadside parking nearby. Sources don't state payment methods, so bring cash.

It suits people in northern Xitun or north of Fengjia looking for an affordable after-meal dessert or something cold on a hot day. First-timers can order tofu pudding with red beans or a red bean milk dessert — portions are big enough for two. Note it closes at 6 pm on Saturdays and doesn't open on Sundays.
