Not very sweet, but chewy.

To begin with, two famous cakes:

Lemon:


Pineapple:


Both are chewier and less sweet than what I'm used to for dessert. The former tastes a lot like lemon shortcake, the latter like nothing I've had in North America. Both are pleasant and accessible flavours and textures to my palette.

Another Taiwanese speciality? Frozen condensed milk with fruit piled on top. The fruit is much sweeter than the milk, the juices all run into it and the whole thing is refreshing and lovely.



Then we have the bizarre interpretations of American favourites.

An oddly dry and not sweet donut pastry with two different types of jam going on the inside of each tube. What?



These cupcakes were purchased at an upscale department store attempting Western desserts. The pastry here sucks. Again, dry, unsweet, and filled with gushy jam stuff. But damn, they look gorgeous.



At a Hong Kongese restaurant they served us cream soda with milk - apparently a favourite. Again, the milk makes the cream soda less sweet. But the whole thing gave me a tummyache.



Finally, we just have the inexplicable:



Got boobs?
