Hui Bi Xu Cake Shop - Century Hualien Sweet Potato Original Store Introduction
Centennial Store - Hebi's Bakery, Originator of Hualien Sweet Potato Hebi's Bakery was founded in 1899 (Meiji 32 / 12 years before the Republic of China) and has a history of over a hundred years. "Hebi" refers to one of the Seven Lucky Gods of Japan, the God of Wealth. The name was chosen during the Japanese occupation for its auspicious meaning and connotation of abundant wealth. The signature product, "Hualien Sweet Potato," took three years of meticulous development to finally be launched. Since the final product is made entirely of filling without any outer skin, it was originally called "Filling Yu." This product won numerous awards from the Japanese Emperor during the Taisho and Showa periods and became a tribute to the Emperor at that time. The store currently retains flags and medals as historical evidence of this honor. Traditional handmade craftsmanship allows the flavors of Hualien Sweet Potato, Hualien Yam, Millet Cake (small millet mochi), and Sachima to continue to be passed down. Careful research and improvements have also created new Hualien specialties such as Mochi Cakes, Sweet Potato Heart Cakes, Fresh Milk Cakes, Hebi Star Cakes, Brown Sugar Q Sweet Potato, Brown Sugar Q Taro, and Two-Color Sweet Potato Sticks, showcasing the new elegance of the centennial Hebi's Bakery in the new century.
