Taiwan excels in their fruit production. They are so sweet, full of flavor, and beautiful looking. One of these fruits is their custard apple. In the Philippines and even in Thailand, the custard apples are small with big seeds. Here in Taiwan, they are huge with tiny seeds. And, they are so succulent and sweet!

Another take home treat were pastries from our family friend. He gifted us with a great variety. Here are a couple of the pastries we have been enjoying since after the trip.
The first is the classic Taiwanese pineapple cake. This is a different brand from last time, Chia Te. It's also delicious and not too sweet. You can taste the butter in the pastry - yum!
The second is the sun cake, another Taiwanese treat from Taipei Leechi. It is filled with a delicate condensed malt sugar and surrounded by a flaky, crumbly pastry. So yum!
