The owner of Planet Taitai discovered this simple yet delicious street snack, “Thai Crepe,” during her trip to Bangkok and learned how to make it there. She brought back Thailand’s most genuine everyday flavors to Taiwan. Using healthy, guilt-free ingredients and handmade fresh frying techniques, she creates these small, crepe-like Thai savory pancakes, each costing just NT$15–20. These cheap yet tasty street snacks have fans buying two or three at a time!

Planet Taitai’s Thai savory pancakes come with fillings such as butter, chocolate, pumpkin cheese, and lemon cheese. Even the custard varieties come in three flavors: taro custard, black sesame custard, and Bai Mu Dan (hand-picked) black tea custard. In addition, there are savory options: steamed scallion pork and spicy Pad Thai pork. Among them, the Pad Thai pork flavor is especially loved by netizens, who say it has a rich taste. Some also describe the Bai Mu Dan black tea custard flavor as having a Thai milk tea taste. However, these two flavors only rank second and third in popularity. The top favorite is lemon cheese.

Because the pancakes are made fresh and fried to order, many netizens recommend eating them while hot to enjoy their crispy texture. Also, be prepared to wait, as flavors sell out quickly. The stall’s location and operating hours are irregular, so if you want to try these authentic Thai savory pancakes, be sure to check the Facebook fan page for updates.
