Savor nostalgic, old-school desserts in a 100-year-old three-section courtyard house — bursting with almond flavor and pure happiness!

Xing Fu Alley, a long-established dessert shop in Kaohsiung that has been operating quietly for nearly 20 years, originally started as a small shop tucked away in a lane beside Hanshin Department Store. It's a nostalgic dessert spot locals have enjoyed since childhood.

Xing Fu Alley mainly serves nostalgic desserts, featuring handmade almond tofu made without any preservatives, paired with a variety of toppings carefully simmered by the shop owners — an unforgettable delightful taste.

The new location is next to Lotus Pond in Zuoying, occupying a 100-year-old house with the traditional layout of a three-section courtyard. The original red brick walls and roof tiles have been preserved.

The wing rooms on either side of this century-old house have now been converted into concrete bungalows, but the remaining main hall and the old pump in the drying courtyard still evoke a strong sense of nostalgia.
