SHU LIU SHAN

345, XinYi (HsinYi) Road, section 4

Among Cantonese dishes, desserts are among the most popular. For 40 years, Shu Liu Shan has been a leading bakery in Hong Kong. Now, authentic Cantonese desserts can be enjoyed closer to home in Taipei. The pastry chefs are from Hong Kong and produce a wide variety of fruit sundaes, juices, puddings and cakes. The most popular items in the Hong Kong-based Shu Liu Shan are the mango sundae and coconut sundae (NT$150). These are sure to be as popular here, as they are made with real mango or coconut and two scoops of mango or coconut flavored ice cream, making them a great summertime treat.--By Selena Huang
