不一樣饅頭

不一樣饅頭 sits on Minsheng Road in Taichung's West District, specializing in hand-made shao-bing, filled cakes, buns, and mantou, with signature flavors like sesame shao-bing, wheat-germ mantou, taro cake, and sweet-potato cake, the fillings firm and not over-laden with chemical additives; one diner said “I like the not-over-additive taste,” and a Japanese traveler who bought a sesame shao-bing described it as a lightly sweet Chinese black-sesame bread — palm-sized but heavy and substantial.

Another noted “the filled cakes are soft, the shao-bing firmer,” the texture varying by type, so pick to taste; the glass case at the door displays the various cakes, with plenty of people queuing to buy.

Closed Sundays and Mondays; otherwise open daily 9:00am to 8:00pm (closing earlier at 7:00pm Saturdays).
