Hualien｜Xincheng Old Street Nostalgic Snacks〔Tofu Pudding〕 🍧🏡

Walking into Hualien's Xincheng Old Street, you'll stumble upon an old Japanese-style wooden house brimming with childhood memories—Dou Hua Er. This tofu pudding shop, converted from a former art studio, exudes a hipster retro charm. From the tables and chairs to the decor, the shop is filled with nostalgic charm, transporting you back to your school days.

💡 Atmosphere

The shop's interior is constructed entirely of wood, furnished with vintage desks and chairs collected from various schools. Every chair back and corner bears the marks of time, and the walls are covered with signature stickers from visitors, creating a feeling of stepping into a time-traveling, healing classroom. While the wooden house isn't air-conditioned, a powerful fan circulates natural air, ensuring a comfortable and airy atmosphere even in the sweltering summer heat.

🍧 Tofu Pudding Recommendations and Special Features

They offer three signature tofu puddings:

Sweet Red Bean Tofu Pudding (NT$50): A peanut syrup base topped with fragrant, soft red beans, the sweetness is just right, and the sugar level can be adjusted.

Chewy Pearl Tofu Pudding (NT$60): Made with unsweetened soy milk, it's topped with golden pearls, brown sugar syrup, and lemon slices for a super chewy, refreshing, and layered texture.

Xiu Xiu'e Mochi Tofu Pudding: Made with handmade mochi and red beans or taro balls, it's sweet but not greasy, with a satisfying chewy texture.
All tofu puddings are made with unsweetened soy milk from local smallholder farmers in Shoufeng, and the sweet broth is often made with local Xincheng peanuts, resulting in a rich, natural flavor that's safe and healthy. ---
