Besides the savory “cheese egg,” the chocolate Ferrero Rocher flavor is highly recommended for those with a sweet tooth. A whole Ferrero Rocher is encased inside the pancake, and as the chocolate filling melts under the heat, it infuses into the pancake, adding a hint of pancake aroma while toning down the inherent sweetness of the chocolate. One bite overflows with cocoa richness. Other flavors include matcha red bean, custard Oreo, custard pearls, Hong Kong-style milk custard, and kimchi pork. Prices are around NT$20, and there are multiple branches across Taichung. Flavors may vary by location, so check individual announcements.
