Peng Cheng Zhen Bakery Introduction
Near Hsinchu Chenghuang Temple, in a hidden alley, lies the nostalgic taste of traditional pastries from the well-established "Peng Cheng-Zhen Bakery," which has been serving the community for over 80 years. With its excellent reputation and traditional baking skills, this bakery offers flavors that have been passed down through generations of Hsinchu residents. Now taken over by the third generation, it continuously develops new flavors that align with current trends while steadfastly adhering to traditional foundations and solid techniques, with the bamboo tube cake being the best example. Made entirely by hand, these cakes are delicious and non-greasy, featuring a thin skin and generous filling. A single bite bursts with the fragrant flavor of fried shallots, slightly sweet and delightful. The third generation not only maintains traditional roots and solid skills but also innovates a variety of new flavors. The seasonal "Peanut Candy Party" is a particularly popular innovation, adding almonds, cashews, walnuts, and other nuts alongside peanuts, creating a joyful multi-textured nut party that is tasty and non-sticky, making you want to keep eating.
