Little Pan Bakery’s pineapple cakes and phoenix cakes are quite famous. During the three major festivals—Chinese New Year, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival—there are always long queues of people waiting to buy them. In fact, during the Dragon Boat Festival, the bakery also closed for eight days, partly to handle orders and partly due to considerations regarding ingredient and labor preparation.

Also beloved by many consumers, Changhua’s Fujiya Salted Egg Yolk Pastry was vandalized with paint by a customer on the 14th, expressing complaints about the store’s attitude and long queues. With more and more queue-based food spots in Taiwan, it’s best for stores to respond well and for customers to remain rational.

Wu Pao-chun’s pineapple cakes have also become a recent choice for many tourists, and consumers planning to give gifts or enjoy the holidays should plan their purchases early.
