Yonshin Breeze Xinyi Restaurant 永心鳳茶 微風信義店 (Taipei, TAIWAN) ★★★☆☆

If you love tea like I do, this would be right up your alley. Yonshin Restaurant (永心鳳茶) is a café and restaurant serving redefined Taiwanese cuisine. They have numerous locations in Taipei and I just happened to stumble upon their Breeze Xinyi (微風信義店) this afternoon while killing my spare time before dinner.

While Yoshin offers a small selection of savory Taiwanese-style dishes, their bread and butter has always been their tea and pastries.

Some of their pastries were tea infused and that got me all excited since I am a huge fan of milk tea.

– This was probably better served with ice but I have been coughing badly since Christmas. Beggars can't be choosers... 😭😭

I thought this was pretty milky with moderate tea flavors but I didn't totally agree with the description of thick (厚). I would say that most pantyhose milk tea from Hong Kong came with a thicker texture.

– The tea flavors were pretty subtle but it also came distinctive floral notes that I thought meshed well with the cheese. Not bad.

Reservation is definitely recommended. I waited about half an hour for my table and it wasn't even inside the tea room.
