Tainan is widely known as the “Capital of Gastronomy.” In addition to local snacks like beef soup and squid thick soup, in Anping, beyond these delicacies, there is now an ultra-cute“fried egg-shaped tower”that adds yet another unique touch to the classic old town and gives people one more delicious option.
Also called “Sword Lion Pastry,” the “HaHa Pastry” features the “Sword Lion,” which was traditionally regarded as a guardian deity by locals in Anping. The HaHa Pastry is made by shaping an egg waffle into the form of a sword lion, and even the patterns on the paper bag feature cute sword lion doodles. Beyond its charming and elaborate appearance, the fillings include butter with red beans, cheese pork, and herb-flavored chicken. After multiple refinements, all flavors are perfectly balanced—so quality is definitely not a concern.
▲ The designs on the paper bags are also very endearing. (Photo / netizen)beeemua1028Provided, please do not reproduce without permission to avoid copyright infringement.
