Heritage Bakery & Cafe Bellavita 店 (Taipei, TAIWAN) ★★★☆☆

I still have a couple more hours to burn before my high anticipated dinner at Logy. Rather than going back to Da'an, I decided to spend it right here by circling around the department stores in Xinyi. One of the places I have never gotten the chance to visit in Xinyi district was the Bellavita Shopping Centre so I thought it was the perfect time for a stopover.

This is where you find some of the most luxurious dining addresses in Taipei including L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon and CLOVER BELLAVITA by Jean-François Piège but my attention was immediately drawn to this small café on the B1 "Art Gallery" level by the name of Heritage Bakery & Cafe.

An American style bakery café is pretty hard to find in Hong Kong and Asia in general so I was really delighted to see one of my favorite baked goods.

Caramel pecan pie (
焦糖胡桃派) (NT$180) – This looked really good.....

The crisp pastry was topped with a rich buttery filling and premium pecan halves. Each of these pecans was almost equally in sizes and they were BIG. Not bad but the caramel sauce I thought was a little over the top. Perhaps, that's the reason why the color was in black instead of light brown, which we were more used to seeing in North America!?

I also bought myself some time to walk around the department stores. With Chinese New Year fast approaching in less than a month, it wasn't all that surprising to see that some of these festive decorations were already in place.
