[KKday Exclusive] Taipei｜Neihu Shenghengchang Duty Free Flagship Store｜Pineapple Cake DIY Handmade & Tea and Food Experience

I love this experience as I never handmade pineapple cakes before. The tea experience was also very good as I learned to make tea for myself. All the tutors were very nice and explained every single steps clearly. Highly recommend!

I recently had the chance to try out the Pineapple Cake DIY and Tea Food Experience at the Sheng Hengchang Duty Free Neihu Flagship Store. It was an educational outing where I discovered something new about tea – all varieties come from the same plant, and it's the roasting duration that sets green apart from red. Quite interesting! The pineapple cake activity was straightforward, involving combining pre-prepared ingredients. It's a simple process, not particularly extraordinary, but enjoyable nonetheless. The cakes turned out to be quite tasty. For the affordable price, the experience was certainly worthwhile.

We took a taxi from the hotel. We made pineapple cakes in the duty-free shop, and the staff explained everything to us, so we were able to make our own! The finished product was wrapped up so nicely that it was almost a shame to eat it. While it was baking, we listened to an explanation about Chinese tea and sampled it. It's not often that you get to experience making something yourself, and it only took about an hour, so I recommend it.

We participated as a group of three who absolutely love pineapple cakes. Both the pineapple cake-making and the tea time were explained in a very professional manner, and we were able to gain a lot of knowledge while having fun. The pineapple cake instructor, the tea ceremony teacher, and the lady who was taking pictures—all three of them were warm and kind, making the entire experience pleasant from start to finish. It turned out to be an even better experience than we had imagined.

The staff were friendly and courteous. We arrived early and were treated to seats and snacks. We DIYed pineapple cakes. Since there were children participating, the sister was very patient in teaching and encouraging us. The children were happy to complete the task and felt a sense of success. I was deeply impressed by the art of tea. Each person was provided with a set of tableware and taught how to make tea. The elder brother taught step by step and the process was easy to master, even children could do it. The overall environment is comfortable and the staff are very polite. It is a very good experience.

I booked this place because the place where you can make authentic pineapple cakes is closed during the New Year holidays. The pineapple cake making itself is a simple experience, as you just put the filling between the already-made dough and put it into a mold, but the staff were kind, polite, and friendly, and their consideration was wonderful. I also enjoyed the tea experience. It was a soothing experience, thanks to the high level of hospitality of the Taiwanese people. The pineapple cake I took home was delicious, with a simple taste that you can only get from something that is handmade.

I tried to apply for pineapple cake making at another place, but the capacity was full on the day I wanted, so I applied here, and it was a great decision! Making the cake was fun, but the support from the staff was wonderful. The person in charge of making the pineapple cake also taught me kindly and carefully, and also told me the history of pineapple cake in Japanese. And she is good at giving compliments, so it makes you feel good. The Taiwanese tea teacher was a young woman, but she also taught me carefully. I was able to compare three types of tea, and I was able to learn the depth of Taiwanese tea, so much so that even an amateur could clearly tell the difference in the aroma and taste of the first and second cups of tea. Also, a woman who spoke fluent Japanese like a concierge was with me the whole time, so there was no need to worry about language. She was also wonderful and attentive, and I was able to experience great hospitality. The location is a little inconvenient, but it is a recommended experience.

It is a very suitable experience for the whole family. It is a simple DIY workshop that everyone can do. Unexpectedly, our family of four happened to book the venue, so we were so happy. Tea tasting is also very interesting. The staff is very gentle and teaches us how to taste the tea step by step. The refreshments are also super surprising. Although the location is a bit remote, we originally planned to take a taxi there because we were traveling with an elderly person, so it’s okay if the location is a bit remote. When we left, we waited for Everrich’s free shuttle bus, which can go directly to Songshan Station, right at the Raohe Street Night Market. , very suitable for the itinerary, very nice.

I participated with my two daughters who are elementary school students. I was also looking forward to making pineapple cake and experiencing tea, and I wondered what it would be like, but it became a memory several times better than I imagined! The staff spoke Japanese well and were very kind, and I was grateful that they took a lot of photos with my smartphone during the experience. After baking the pineapple cake, they packaged it nicely like a product for sale, and when I ate it after returning to Japan, it felt very delicious and added to the memories. It was the first tea experience for the children, and it seems that they fell in love with Taiwanese tea. We bought oolong tea leaves as a souvenir, so the children will request it at home. I'm really glad we participated! The location is inconvenient from the Taipei Station area, so we used the free shuttle bus. I'm very grateful to the kind staff. Thank you very much!

It was a very good experience. My boyfriend had never tried it before, so I happened to come to Taipei and found an expert to try it. The result was unexpectedly good. The teacher taught clearly and was very kind.
