I believe that many small partners who go to Taiwan to play, the most favorite souvenir is one of the *pineapple crisp*
But do you know the origin of pineapple crisp?
Legend has it that in the Three Kingdoms era, Liu Bei married Sun Quan's sister with a happy cake, and there was a large cake filled with pineapple in the cake, and the early pineapple cake was too large for the average person to consume. A hundred years ago, a Taichung County pastry baker Yan bottle often made "dragon and phoenix cake" for sale, dragon cake with meat as filling, phoenix cake with pineapple as filling, for marriage, engagement necessary, and later improved the bottle, the phoenix cake was reduced to about 25-100 grams of exquisite cakes, pineapple crisp was born.
In Taiwanese wedding customs, there are six flavors of the engagement cake representing the six gifts, one of which is also pronounced "Wanglai" in Minnan dialect, symbolizing the meaning of the descendants wangwanglai, and the pineapple is also a common tribute for Taiwanese people to worship, taking its meaning of "Wangwang" and "Wanglai", which is deeply loved by the people.
There are three types of Taiwan pineapple puff pastry:
The first kind, winter melon pineapple crisp, pure winter melon filling, soft cotton, the taste is sweet.
The second kind, the earth pineapple crisp, made of pure pineapple, is more acidic than sweet, and there are more fibers.
The third kind, winter melon and pineapple mixed with filling, half of sweet and sour.
Taiwan every time popular is different, in fact, there is no one better, what is written outside the authentic or quality depends on personal preferences, just like I personally prefer winter melon pineapple crisp [tooth] sweets lovers.

Using Taiwanese pineapple made of inner filling, fortunately a friend bought to send me to eat, but because the inner stuffing of the pineapple is too sour, fiber is more, the outer skin is a hard kind, I myself prefer sweets so I appreciate not to come [cover my face] like sour small partners can still try, in Taiwan is also a very famous pineapple crispy shop, there are many stores, you can go online to inquire in the purchase.
