Sad to say that there is no Greggs in Taiwan...sigh...but they do have plenty of bread & cake shops and here are a few snacks, that in the interest of research, I had to try.
A sausage roll, Taiwan style. Very tasty and the sweet glazing adds a certain "je ne sais quoi".
One ring donut, which was ok. But never as good as a Greggs Belgian Bun!
And here is the odd one. A simple sponge cake you would think. But I had my suspicions the moment the sales assistant told me it was a Taiwanese speciality. The stuff sprinkled on top and making up the filing is not fine brown sugar, rather it is called "rou" which translates as "meat". And that is meat, not 'meat like appearance' or 'brown like meat' but 'meat because it is meat!' The smell was all wrong, but the taste truly horrible. This is the first thing that I have not been able to eat since I arrived.
