Go here for: picking up some pineapple cake for friends and family (or for yourself)
Buy this: pineapple cake box sets (they come in a variety of sizes)
Amount of time to spend: ~20 minutes, for tasting and purchasing
When to come: weekdays or later in the day tend to be less crowded, but varies by location
Getting here: most of the locations no matter what city is fairly accessible via public transportation (Nantou is a little more remote). For Taipei, it’s a bit of a walk from MRTs (as of 2020) and it would be easier by bus (12, 63, 225, 248, 254, 262, 505, 518, 521, 612, 652, 905, 棕1)
Other things to note:
- The Taoyuan airport outpost closes earlier (at 5pm) so take this into account if you have a late flight – may want to grab from Taipei 101 or A9 instead.
