Found all over Taipei, you get such stalls selling freshly made red bean cake although they do have other choices of filling e.g. cream. It's a perfect snack for those windy days as you sink into a warm, slightly mushy paste. It does taste better than how I describe it here.
Similar to
dorayaki, these have a crunchy outer shell which is almost fragile.
In my lame effort to be a purist, I ordered the red bean version. The good thing is that unlike Malaysia who gives you little filling with a thick dough (think:
char siew pao) since that's cheaper to cut corners, this one actually has a
thin crust and it's jam packed with filling. So packed that I felt it was too much and had difficulty finishing it.
The cream/vanilla version was better even though it is just as generous. You probably need to be a diehard fan of red bean to enjoy it.
