I'm absolutely obsessed with five-star desserts! Broadcaster Li Jialing: Sugar-free gum is a must in my makeup bag

Consumer Center / Comprehensive Report

The Café at Grand Hyatt Taipei, a long-standing establishment in Xinyi District, has long been a buffet favorite among office workers and foodies for its spacious dining area and over 100 international dishes. Pastry Chef He Haosi has meticulously designed 50 European-style desserts, with themes changing monthly based on seasonal fresh ingredients—something that’s left China Television anchor Li Jialing utterly enchanted.

Anchor Li Jialing is a foodie at heart and can hardly resist temptation, especially the refined French-Italian desserts at the Café, such as the melt-in-your-mouth chocolate mousse, colorful French fruit tarts, strawberry mille-feuille, classic raw chocolate, and premium Mövenpick ice cream. Additionally, pastry chefs prepare fresh French crêpes, sesame paste, or red bean and black rice porridge on-site. The sweet, enticing aromas not only win over the anchor but also appeal greatly to ladies and young professional women.

A lover of five-star buffet desserts with no resistance to chocolate or high-calorie sweets, she is as approachable as a girl next door. With a sweet smile, she shared with reporters that the strictest "mentor" behind her success as an anchor isn’t netizens, but rather "relatives and friends." Jialing laughed, “I get calls from family every day asking if I’ve gained weight or why my face looks so round.”

Unrestrained in her indulgence, she even sneaks in sweets whenever she can before going on air. But because of this, she believes maintaining oral hygiene is basic etiquette—and the aspect of her appearance she cares about most.

Li Jialing explained that due to her work schedule, she often doesn’t have time—or it’s inconvenient—to brush her teeth after enjoying a meal, so she always carries sugar-free gum with xylitol to keep her mouth fresh. With sugar-free gum, floss picks, and a compact mirror always in her makeup bag, she can indulge without worrying about any embarrassing moments.
