Chen Yun Pao Chuan 陳允寶泉食品 was established in 1908 in China. The second generation of their family went to Japan to study fruit technology, opened up a store in Tokyo, and won awards in Japan for their items. The third generation opened up a store in Taichung, Taiwan, combined their traditional and Japanese baking techniques, created what they claim were the first small mooncakes in Taiwan, improved the taste of traditional mooncakes, and created other pastries. The fourth generation went to Japan again to further their baking skills and promote their brand. In Japan they created their handmade, low-sugar sun cakes that have won awards . (They weren't sweet enough for me -- too bland -- but that's just my opinion.) The fifth generation kept the quality stable and created a macadamia milk fudge treat that I think is delicious.
Chen Yun Pao Chuan uses quality ingredients and has won the National Food Award. Many of their pastries have won awards.
I first found out about Chen Yun Pao Chuan when one of my students' parents gifted me a package of macadamia nut tarts. They were a perfect combination of crunchy, sweet, and salty. I liked them so much that I later made a trip to Breeze Taipei Main Station to try their other items and review them. I didn't try their wedding cake because, like many pastry shops, they require at least one week in advance ordering. I also didn't try their lemon cake because they were sold out, which is very unfortunate because I love lemon cake.
I found all the pastries at Chen Yun Pao Chuan to be great. They use less sugar than most other traditional pastry shops, and I could taste in some of their pastries how far away they were from being over-processed. I would actually prefer some of their items to be a little sweeter, but that's not a critique, more of a preference. My favorite items of theirs that I tried were: Pomelo Cake, Macadamia Nut Tart, Bean Paste with Cheese Mooncake, and Macadamia Milk Fudge.
