The trend of coin-operated snacks, which began gaining popularity in southern Taiwan earlier this year, has now reached the north. Now, in Sanchong District, New Taipei City, there is also the first...“cheese vending machine.”For just a few coins, you can enjoy 11 varieties of freshly made cheese daily—limited to 150 tubs per day, and once they’re gone, they’re gone!

Sanchong’s “cheese vending machine” hails from Taichung and is based on the super-popular group-buying snack “Blast Cheese” from the area. Owner Mr. Hsu shared that the idea behind setting up an afternoon tea vending machine was to let people enjoy delicious treats while having fun with the unique purchasing experience. Currently, there are “branches” in Taichung’s Fengjia, Zhongxiao, and Fengyuan districts, as well as in Taoyuan’s Zhongli. With fresh ingredients, the product has also passed multiple health inspections. To give residents in northern Taiwan a taste, the first location was chosen in Sanchong, allowing more people to savor the freshness and flavor of Blast Cheese.
