Infusion Cake and Tea Specialty Store Introduction
For the owner of Infusion Cake and Tea Shop, Zhang Jia-Hong, the biggest challenge is to point out the restaurant's most recommended dish. After seven years of experiences in other cities, Jia-Hong returned to Chiayi City in 2016 and opened Infusion Cake and Tea Shop on a small street known for its beauty in the city with dessert chef Lai Yi-Han. The shop features a large glass window at the front, interwoven with white window grilles, framing the scenery inside like a series of warm and serene paintings. Stepping into this artistic world, the comfortable atmosphere and music gently sway through the space, leading each guest to naturally become an indispensable part of the artwork. Every French dessert displayed in the dessert counter is a combination of Yi-Han's experience studying in France and various inspiring stories from her life, developed and created over the course of one to two months. Yi-Han pours the perseverance and spirit she learned from studying music into her dessert creations, leading to a rich and diverse aesthetic experience in each dessert. To complement the different desserts, Jia-Hong recommends various single-origin teas, with every step of the tea selection and brewing process being meticulously overseen by him. He ensures that the best dishes are presented to customers without any compromise. This is perhaps why Jia-Hong can never pinpoint the restaurant's most recommended dish; he believes that every dish he serves meets his highest standards. The walls of the shop are adorned with artworks, such as photography, oil paintings, and sketches, which change occasionally. These works tell their own stories as guests casually glance up, mirroring the inherent artistic beauty of Infusion Cake and Tea Shop, quietly standing on Cheng Ren Street, waiting for passersby to enter and share their own stories. Recommended dishes: Lemon Tart, Smoked Earl Grey Tea.
