Taipei Taiwan
SIMPLE KAFFA
No. 27, Sec. 2, Zhongxiao East. Rd.,
Zhongzheng Dist., Taipei
SIMPLA KAFFA was founded by Wu Zelin, graduated from the Institute of Electronics at National Taiwan University. By supporting a mate in Copenhagen, Wu determined his passion toward coffee and participated as a newbie at the WBC World Coffee Competition in 2009. After various home experiences, Wu won the Taiwan Coffee Masters Championship in 2013, and stood atop the WBC World Coffee Championship for Taiwan in 2016.
Introduced by my friends encountering at Venice Film Festival in September 2023, we have our table at SIMPLE KAFFA Huashan Flagship, and I love how Earl Grey tea infused with hot latte lingering the refreshed sense on my taste buds. The homemade sponge cake delivers both airy and soft texture, the vanilla, lemon and egg mixed perfectly in between with lean milk, the top crust is covered with the organic honey thin layer, more of a Taiwanese version of Nagasaki cake.
CHUAN COFFEE
Lane 236, Zhongzheng Road,
Shilin District, Taipei
Discovered on the local map, CHUAN COFFEE becomes we college mates’ new favourite chit chat spot near the Shin-Lin Metro Station. Operated by only two staff at the moment, Chuan Coffee provides less indoor 20 seats, while offers the most delicious seasonal pudding and hand-brewed coffee in the neighbourhood.
Based on full milk, cream cooked with egg yolk, the Chuan Coffee pudding presents a rather rich crème anglaise to fill éclairs, pouring the Canadian syrup and complete with a cute cherry on top, it tastes a bit like a lightly sweetened crème brûlée without the crunchy top while at the same time delivers a similar comforting feel to warm milk with a touch of sugar and vanilla, and a slight wobble that adds to the enjoyable mouthfeel, definitely the best to accompany with a full cup of red hot Oolong latte.
