Entree Kibbles: Retro Window White Sugar Cake (老窗白糖粿) @ Yizhong Night Market in Taichung City [Taiwan]

Now that I am aware of White Sugar Cake, my eyes would automatically scan for Taiwanese snack whenever I am at a night market in Taiwan!

This time was different as I specifically searched online for white sugar cake at Yizhong Night Market in Taichung, and this popped out on Google Maps; Retro Window White Sugar Cake (老窗白糖粿).

Instead of one retro window, it's literally various retro window frames that made up the frontage of the takeaway store; interesting yet totally mismatched!

Whatever the case, I am here for the white sugar cake and this shop had seven flavours; original, green tea, peanuts, yellow beans, purple sweet potato, tie guan yin cocoa and sesame! Four pieces for NT$60 and you can mix a max of two flavours.

Freshly fried; I can't wait to bite into it!

Original and Peanut - to put it simply, this was deep fried mochi without much batter. Yes, it's nice to eat the piping hot snack, albeit with a thin crisp that lacked the shiokness I craved for! And the taste was a tad on the bland end, although you can argue it's likely healthier. Personally, this one is way better.
