Stumbling upon a shop in a city alley that becomes a true regular is one of the most soothing moments of travel. Peng Tan Tofu Pudding is the kind of dessert shop that makes you want to bring an extra sip: melt-in-your-mouth tofu pudding, bouncy grass jelly, a generous refill policy, and a choice of over 10 toppings, every bowl is your own personal recipe for happiness.
First Impression: A hipster shop with a bold and sincere spirit.
The striking "Bao" (full) word on the black and white curtain at the entrance instantly captures your attention—you're here to eat your fill. The interior is minimalist and hipster-inspired, with a black and white palette accented by greenery. It's small and cozy yet comfortable, perfect for a relaxing afternoon dessert with friends or a satisfying after-dinner treat.
Key Textures: The tofu pudding is smooth and tender, the grass jelly is chewy, and the brown sugar syrup is sweet but not cloying.
The tofu pudding is delicate and smooth, practically dissolving with a single spoonful, and the bean fragrance is pure without being overpowering.
Grass Jelly: Soft and smooth with a refreshing herbal aroma, it pairs well with shaved ice, whether diced or in strips, for a refreshing and flavorful taste.
Brown Sugar Water: Perfectly sweet, it doesn't overpower the tofu pudding or grass jelly, but rather adds dimension to the overall dessert.
After trying it myself, I asked for a refill, and the server generously filled it with a large bowl—that generosity and sincerity is what makes you want to come back again.
Toppings: Over 10 options, with 3 basic options to choose from (additional toppings are only NT$10 more).
Extensive toppings: pearls, red beans, peanuts, taro balls, sweet potato balls, brown sugar rice cakes, black rice, aiyu... Each one is perfectly cooked and chewy. You can choose from 3 basic options, and for a more generous portion, each additional option is only NT$10—a truly thoughtful refill system that allows you to create your own unique "boom combo."
Recommended Combinations (My Top 3):
Taro Balls + Pearls + Brown Sugar Rice Cake (Most Complex and Complex)
Purple Rice + Red Beans + Aiyu (Warmer, Traditional Flavor)
Sweet Potato Balls + Peanuts + Pearls (Satisfying, Old-Fashioned Flavor)
How to Eat & Ordering Tips (Practical Tips for Increased Satisfaction)
Summer Recommendation: Shaved Ice + Grass Jelly + Brown Sugar Water for a Super Refreshing Taste.
On a Cold Day or When You're Looking to Warm Your Stomach: Order Hot Tofu Pudding with Brown Sugar for a Warm and Soothing Feel.
For Beautiful Photos: Take a "Before Mixing" Shot of the Plate, Then Start Dousing the Toppings with Brown Sugar. Take a Close-Up Shot of the Spoon Scooping Up the Toppings (For a More Dynamic Look).
For a Variety of Textures: Choose a Mix of Shaved Ice and Tofu Pudding to Experience a Variety of Textures: Cold, Soft, Chewy, and Sticky.
Why Does This Restaurant Deserve a Spot on the Food Map? (A few of Trip.com editors' favorites)

Highly shareable: The rich toppings and visually striking menu create a vibrant photo opportunity and social media presence.
Great value: You get a lot of variety for a small price, making it a friendly experience for both tourists and locals.
Perfect service and atmosphere: A hipster vibe + the owner's generous toppings = lasting memories.
My honest review
I savored my meal slowly and attentively. From the smooth, silky first bite to the chewy toppings, every detail was a testament to the shop's dedication. The moment the waiter refilled my bowl, I felt like I was being treated by an old friend—that warmth speaks louder than any fancy words. If you're a dessert lover or looking for a little treat that makes you smile during your travels, Peng Tan Tofu Pudding is definitely worth a special trip.
