Beigang Sweet Soup

北港甜湯 · show this name to taxi drivers

A family dessert shop in the covered Huaxi Street night market since 1953, started by a couple from Beigang in Yunlin. Its sticky rice porridge is cooked with dried longan, and the grilled mochi comes in brown sugar syrup with crushed peanuts. Sweet soups come in single bowls, a gentle finish after the savory stalls nearby.
