Article / Compiled and reported by the MOOK Travel & Lifestyle Network Editorial Team

With a philosophy of cooking driven by passion and non-interference, Le’ong Café creates a sweet Parisian ambiance. Originating from central Taiwan, the café was hugely popular when it first opened in Taichung, and in September this year, it also officially opened its first branch at ATT4FUN in Taipei’s Xinyi District, offering signature desserts and drinks, as well as savory dishes such as risotto, pasta, and sandwiches.

The shop’s specially recommended Truffle Mushroom Chicken Risotto features tender and springy chicken thigh meat, a creamy mushroom sauce with truffle aroma, mixed with a runny egg yolk. The flavors are well-balanced, but the risotto grains are soft, making it suitable for those who aren’t used to the firm texture of traditional risotto.And among them, the store’s original Honey Bow Tie and Croissant Ring are the true treasures of the house.The bread is shaped into a bow tie and then baked—its eye-catching appearance and easy-to-eat texture are paired with a crispy feel, fresh fruit, and whipped cream infused with lemon zest, creating a rich layering of flavors that burst with happiness. It’s especially popular among younger customers.

The Croissant Ring may look like a donut, but it has the layered texture of a Danish croissant. The most recommended flavor is the Valrhona Chocolate Almond Crunch, where a crisp, soft-baked croissant ring is filled with whipped cream, drizzled with generous amounts of Valrhona chocolate sauce, and served with ice cream for a luxurious taste adventure.
