As far as the tea shops are concerned. SunnyHills should certainly not to be missed. They have been producing Taiwanese traditional pineapple cakes since 2012 in an effort to bring back the traditional flavor of pineapples cakes. The pineapples they use come from Bagua Mountain in Central Taiwan; and sourced from local farmers. They mixed them with savory ingredients and without using any preservatives or additives to produce their signature pineapple cakes.
