Unlike other street dessert joints, Xianyuxian uses premium quality natural ingredients that are also preservative-free. Hailing from Taiwan, everything at this taro dessert specialist is freshly prepared and made-to-order. There are tons of flavors and types to choose from, but we suggest sticking to the handmade taro balls (芋圆, yuyuan), xiancao (仙草, a kind of jelly) and douhua (豆花, tofu pudding) which are some of the best in town. If you're feeling adventurous, try the xianyuxian zhaopai (仙芋鲜招牌 RMB20) which is mainly made of xiancao. Although it tastes slightly bitter, it's great for cooling down on hot days.
