Dan Shui (淡水)

Dan Shui (淡水), pancake stall

Some bites in our day trip to Dan Shui.

Dan Shui (淡水), cai por pancake

Pancake with cai por (pickled radish). Never had these sweet pancakes with cai por before. Pretty good tasting with a lot of crunch - a texture that one normally doesn't get in these.

Dan Shui (淡水), red bean pancake

Red bean ones were also nice. Love that they weren't overly sweet. Loads of beans inside.

Dan Shui (淡水), custard pancake

Custard ones were kinda lightweight.

Salted duck egg with powder blue shells.

They were salty, but not as salty as the ones we have back home.

Dan Shui (淡水), century egg

The century egg shells were speckled.

Dan Shui (淡水), century egg

The crystalline blacks were latticed with dendritic salt crystals. According to Gemini, these patterns are known as sōng huā (松花) in Chinese, are a sign of a properly made and high-quality century egg.

Yolk was creamy and molten. These were good tasting century eggs.

Stopped for some seasonal blueberry kakigori at this shop.


Dan Shui (淡水), juice shop
Dan Shui (淡水), bitter melon honey juice

White bitter melon juice with honey. The drink was actually refreshing with the bitterness edging in at the back of each gulp.
