Jiufen

I went to Taipei earlier this summer and didn’t want to just stay within Taipei City, so I decided to hire a driver to drive us around the outskirts of Taipei, and Jiufen is the third stop. Jiufen is up on a hill so there’s quite a bit of stairs and slope. The movie Spirited Away was inspired by Jiufen so a lot of souvenir shops sell Spirited Away merchandise, it is definitely worth a visit if you are a fan. Jiufen is not difficult to manoeuvre as it is just one main street. We went for the taro balls soup at 阿柑姨 (see last pic) as recommended by the driver and it did not disappoint!! (the driver said this is the only place she would go for taro ball haaha) #timetotravel #境外遊 #taipei #jiufen

I entered the cafe I have admired for a long time with excitement and excitement. The appearance and signature logo are very eye-catching. When I enter the store, it is a simple and high-end black, with only orange lights and natural light bringing out various outlines. There are no unnecessary and complicated decorations, just products, partitions, and counters. The brewing area also features an open grid Let everyone enjoy world-class latte art. Although the weather is extremely hot, you can't help but order the signature nine-part latte. The main ingredients are black carbon powder and gold foil. The hot milk rushes down to form a black starry sky, which is breathtaking. The temperature is just right, ready to drink. The cold one is Pei Cha Latte, which is purely for relieving heat. Although I didn't have the chance to meet the boss, it was enough to visit the main store. Do you have a chance to go to other branches to see what will happen tomorrow? By the way, I seem to be braving the heat and suffering from heat stroke, but I still wear all black to match the store, and to show my identity as a fan from outside, hahaha
