Outside this place, you can observe the pastry chef sifting flour, making and molding dough, as the kitchen staff takes its time preparing various refined dishes. Inside, Chinese calligraphy, furniture and tea sets are on display, reflecting the inspiration behind zen-style garden landscapes. Shop owner Eva–from Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province–has a passion for tea-making with delicate porcelain, as well as her hometown delicacies. These include the Square Pastry, stuffed with not-too-sticky glutinous rice; Chinese Date and Japanese Yam Pastry, noted in “Dream of the Red Chamber”; and difficult-to-make Glutinous Rice with Salty Egg, which requires that the pastry chef fill a duck’s egg shell, washed with wine, with glutinous rice and spices. Rarities in Taiwan, the Narcissus Tea, White Tea and Yunnan Black Tea pair very well with these pastries. The shop cat, Meng Pie, also makes an appearance here on Fridays and Saturdays.

工作人員在櫥窗裡緩緩地篩著米粉、刮板上模，以「慢食精神」準備著料理，通過長廊、字畫和中式傢俱、擺件與茶席，視線留白於戶外的造景，你將意會到一種生活意境。來自浙江紹興的老闆Eva，在長案優雅地沖著茶，原經營手工精緻的青瓷、器皿、藝品，以及對美食有無比熱忱，推薦她特製的家鄉味；包餡方糕具有香中帶糯，糯而不黏的絕佳口感，紅樓夢裡的茶點-棗泥山藥糕，特別製作的糯米蛋很費工，將糯米與配料小心地裝填到以酒淘洗過的鴨蛋殼，可搭著台灣少見的茶品-老欉水仙、白茶、滇紅等茶品，每週五、六，毛小孩店貓長「夢派」值班更不容錯過 。
