Red-Bean - The Real Deal

Also found in 平東, we drove to this place after our smelly-tofu expedition. It's famous for its 紅豆餅, or better known in Singaporean context as the pandan pancake that Mr Bean sells. The shop is called 萬丹.

But I can safely say, Mr Bean, NO FIGHT! The ingredients they use in the pancake here is fresh and plentiful. One pancake costs NTD12, they come in 4 flavours. (Red Bean, Taro [yam], Custard, Black Seaseme) It's obvious for those who know me well which one I'll choose. Red Bean all the way.

People buy in the boxes here (of 12 each). But still full from the smelly tofu, we queued 25mins to buy a miserly 8 (need to tapao for others). The photo on the right clearly shows the red-beanS, not red-bean paste. Each bite was full of red-bean! Definitely value for money. It's not sweet too, just flavourful red-bean.


Healthnut Rating:
Comments: Nothing really unhealthy about this Taiwanese pancake. But I'd have preferred the pancake to have the pandan fragrance found in the pancakes in Singapore. But the red-bean is definitely sufficient to be the star of the show.
