Taipei Leechi was established in 1894. It's one of the superior traditional Taiwanese & Chinese pastry shops in Taiwan. They produce all the typical traditional pastries that can be found in such a shop, but they also have some unique items of their own that slightly deviate from the regular versions. All the items' labels in the shop are in English, Japanese, and Chinese, and include pictures with Chinese below that state the main ingredients in each item. This is a very good business practice that every pastry shop should provide.
They have a nice choice of sun cake flavors instead of just having one. I thought their pineapple cake was delicious and akin to ChiaTe's. Leechi has a gourmet pineapple cake with egg yolk inside that takes pineapple cake to a whole new level of deliciousness. On my three visits, they only had one type of wedding cake available for purchase in their store; you have to make at least a two-week advanced order for their other wedding cake choices, so I only ended up trying two of their wedding cakes. They were both good, but not exceptional. However, almost all the other items in their shop were exceptional. Maybe their other wedding cake choices are amazing, I don't know.
Some of my favorite items of theirs that can't be found in every traditional Taiwanese/Chinese pastry shop would be their Mung Bean Egg Yolk Mini-Mooncake: Usually shops will focus on red bean paste with egg yolk, which is also great, but I absolutely love mung bean with egg yolk. Date with Egg Yolk Mini-Mooncake: It's not that rare but not every shop doesn't have it and really loved it because I'm a big date fan. White Bean with Mashed Yolk Mini-Mooncake: Not every shop has this and it was exquisite.
