I tried Sunny Hills' pineapple cakes many years ago and they're still one of my two favorite pineapple cake makers -- my other favorite is ChiaTe. Instead of ChiaTe's large line of different cake flavors and other pastries, Sunny Hills specializes in just their original pineapple cake. They also sell pineapple juice, oolong tea, and sometimes other items for special occasions, like sponge cake for Mother's Day. They give you a free sample of one pineapple cake and a cup of oolong tea to enjoy at one of their two large tables -- well, it's not that relaxing because it's usually filled with other visitors chatting away. Relax and enjoy your free sample, but don't be an asshole and take too long if there are people waiting in line. After you're done with your sample, you can choose to buy boxes containing 10 or 16 pineapple cakes, and the other items they sell that I mentioned above. They give you a nice cloth bag with your purchase that you can reuse (photo shown below in photo section), which is a smart marketing strategy. If you're an orthodox Muslim, don't worry, their pineapple cakes are halal certified.
If you take in account that Sunny Hills' pineapple cakes are bigger than ChiaTe's, they're around the same price. Sunny Hills' pineapple cake info: 6.42 cm long, 2.72 cm thickness, 50.6 grams. Both companies make the best pineapple cakes.
If you're coming by way of MRT, you'll still have to walk about 15 minutes to get to Sunny Hills. If you don't like walking, you may take a bus, ubike, or taxi. Sunny Hills transit info on their website (click on Taipei location). Sunny Hills also has a to-go location in the Taoyuan International Airport on the 2nd floor of Terminal 2 in Gift Boulevard. It's open from 7 am to 8 pm daily. They accept credit cards.
There was a note inside the box that contained my 16 pineapple cakes that really sold me on how good their pineapple cakes are:
"Sunny Hills believes in making honest-to-goodness food. The founders pour their hearts into creating delectable pineapple cakes only from the tastiest natural ingredients with no need for any additives.
It starts with a special variety of pineapples. On the red-earthed farms of Bagua mountain a high sun beats down all year round. Here, native pineapple, in their indigenous habitat, get sun-basked to a natural ripening. Their fruit is veined through with fibre, and robust with a taste and texture that is truly unique to this land. A patient simmering turns these pineapples into a golden paste-sweet or piquant, retaining flavours of the seasons.
The pastry is simply New Zealand grass-fed butter, fine Japanese flour, and the most premium plump-yoked eggs, each one TAP (Traceable Agricultural Products) certified and traceable to its origin. These unique ingredients together with our baker's 50 years of expertise complete this authentic recipe.
We call this creation Sunny Delights."
