Sunny Hills, a pineapple cake brand from Taiwan, is now available in Taipei, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Tokyo. The Shanghai branch, located on 133 Yuanmingyuan Road right behind The Peninsula, is a bright second floor space composed of not much other than an elongated table, meant for people to rest their feet and have a pineapple cake…for free.

台灣的鳳梨酥名店微熱山丘似乎生意不錯,在上海、香港、新加坡、和東京都開了分店。上海的分店位于圓明園路133號2樓,就在半島酒店後方,雖然離外灘不遠,卻是個相當安靜舒服的區域。店內設計明亮,不小的空間裡就放了一個長桌,讓客人歇歇腳,喝杯烏龍茶,當然還能品嚐鳳梨酥…而且一切免費。

For those who haven’t had pineapple cakes, these are rectangular pastry shells wrapping thick, chunky pineapple jam. Sunny Hills prides itself in using freshly harvested sun-ripened pineapples indigenous of Taiwan, resulting in a fragrant, and especially tangy pineapple filling. The outside pastry shell is also made with care, using flours from Japan, butter from New Zealand, and eggs from a Taiwanese farm apparently renowned for using classical music to inspire the breeding process (?).

微熱山丘使用台灣八卦山的土鳳梨,原味熬煮而成的內陷比一般常吃到的要酸上一些,而且保有了果肉的口感。外皮的用料也有講究,用的是日本面粉、紐西蘭奶油、和據說是聽古典樂長大的雞生的蛋(真的嗎?)。
