Sanhuai Hall is not big, there are only four tables. It's always full, rain or shine. What people are infatuated with is its taste: the top three cheesecake in Taipei and "smelled" siphon coffee. The boss and his family have been operating here for nearly 20 years, but the taste of cheesecake remains the same. Put on the homemade blueberry jam, take a bite, and ooze continuously and full-bodied.

What is more special is the way the boss makes coffee with red wine. Shake the coffee pot, bow your head, smell it, shake it, smell it again, until the coffee is just right. It takes a long time to brew coffee in this way, and it is common to wait 20 to 30 minutes. But in Taipei, where the pace is so fast, such a slow pace is worth cherishing. Slow, can give a good taste ~
