VISITOR RATINGS & REVIEWS
Opened in 1867, Kuo Yuan Ye really merits the name "Century
Old Shop"! At first, it was nothing more than a very
small cake and pastry shop that depended on shoulder poles
and bamboo baskets to peddle goods along the streets. Recently,
it has been completely refurbished and expanded in the hopes
of attracting younger groups of customers. The shop front
mixes a bit of the old with the more modern face lift giving
the place a baroque feel. Interiors are bright and simply
designed in contemporary furnishings, however traditional
pastry moulds are displayed for interest. The latest updates
also include set meal service of eastern and western foods,
vegetarian dishes, and a variety of sweet cakes and pastries.--By
