阿伯の羅家傳統豆花

阿伯の羅家傳統豆花 is tucked in an alley off Fuyang Street in Taichung's South District, its sign reading “half a century, purely hand-made,” selling peanut douhua, tapioca douhua, and mixed douhua, iced or hot; one diner said “the old man is very polite, the hand-made douhua is fragrant, the peanuts just right, the hot one comes with ginger syrup, the flavors blending well,” the mixed flavor holding both pearls and peanuts.

Another called it “a nostalgic old-time taste with an artisan's spirit,” though the flavor occasionally varies with how much ginger broth is used — one diner noted “I ordered all-ginger and it seemed to have no ginger broth, a big difference in taste”; being a small made-to-order stall, it can sell out early at peak, one diner arriving to “buy the last three cups in the afternoon.”

Closed Mondays; otherwise open daily 7:00am to 6:00pm, with a brief 11:00–12:00 midday break on some days.
