Hello Kitty fans absolutely must not miss the first souvenir shop collaboration between “Red Sakura Foods” and “SANRIO” — 【HELLO KITTY Taiwan Souvenirs】！It features a Hello Kitty–themed “Kitty’s Ice Parlor,” serving traditional Taiwanese shaved ice topped with generous fillings, Kitty-shaped character mochi, red bean milk ice made with yokan, as well as seasonal limited-edition mango and strawberry milk ice.

The ice parlor is located near Exit 1 of the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall MRT Station. The store is divided into a souvenir section and Kitty’s Ice Parlor. The amazing part is how it combines Hello Kitty with a retro Taiwanese style — apart from pink Kitty prints and vintage furniture scattered throughout the space, it also retains traditional glass windows and round tables with stools, creating an ambiance full of nostalgic charm.

Top recommendation: Red Sakura’s “Kitty-shaped Pineapple Cakes,” made with fillings from Taiwan’s famous Golden Diamond pineapples, plus adorable packaging and hearty portions.

There’s also the newly launched “Kitty Nougat” for the holidays, bursting with rich milk and peanut aromas, uniquely sweetened with trehalose for a less cloying taste — every bite leaves you wanting more.
