KFC Taiwan: 黑糖白玉Q蛋撻 Brown Sugar Mochi Egg Tart Review

I get really excited when I visit American Fast Food chains in Asia because they have a different menu. Some of these items are amazing and you would never find them in North America.

My friend told me to check out KFC in Taiwan and I stumbled upon their Brown Sugar Mochi Egg Tart. They do have regular egg tarts on the menu, but I couldn’t leave until I got this version with brown sugar and mochi.

For a country that is known for their brown sugar bubble tea, I had to try this. One piece costs $35NT, which is roughly $1.50 Canadian. I went to the Ximending location in Taipei, which has a great location, but located on the 2nd floor, so there are stairs. Good thing the baby wasn’t with me or else I wouldn’t have made it up there.

黑糖白玉Q蛋撻 Brown Sugar Mochi Egg Tart

Between the egg tart shell and the filling was the brown sugar syrup. The egg tart is also topped with more brown sugar and 2 pieces of elongated mochi. I thought the brown sugar was a bit too much and made it overly sweet. The mochi looked hard, but when I picked it up, it was very soft, which was great.

I love the concept of it, but I could only have so much Brown Sugar Mochi Egg Tart before I get overloaded with sugar.

Fun item to try, but I wouldn’t get it a second time.

YiFang Taiwan Fruit Tea: Now Open on Kingsway in Vancouver

YiFang Taiwan Fruit Tea is now open on Kingsway near Boundary. They are best known for their fruit teas as well as brown sugar pearl latte, which is only available during certain times during the day.

They only accept cash and debit.

YiFeng Fruit Tea

It is made with Taiwan pineapple sauce, fresh passion fruit, apple, orange and jade tea. I got it with 30% ice and 30% sugar. One of their most popular drinks and it doesn’t disappoint at all. I love the passion fruit seeds as they are crunchy when you bite down on them.

Black Sugar Soft Pearl Latte

Chewy black sugar peals in sun moon lake black tea and fresh local organic milk. You can’t change the sweetness level or ice levels with this drink. The pearls and the brown sugar come warm while the milk and tea are cold on top. Make sure to give it a nice mix when you’re about to drink it.

It was ok, but there was a bit too much brown sugar to milk tea ratio, so it was sweeter than other places.

Black Tea Latte

This has sun moon lake black tea and fresh local organic milk. M order this with 50% sweetness and 70% ice. It was ok compared to the other places around town.

Final Thoughts

It’s a good addition to the neighbourhood even though there are a lot of other bubble tea shops in the area. It just gives people more choices.
