Haruko Taiyaki
Despite the fact that I am living in China, I see a lot of Japanese trends, brands, even food around Guangzhou. I have seen these desserts in Hong Kong, but I have never tried them. So I figured since this place popped up behind 正佳广场, across the street from the Line with Friends, I decided that I would try it.
I choose to eat the Cheese flavor Taiyaki, but they have several different flavors ranging from 16-26 RMB or about $2-4 USD. One of the most traditional flavors would be the red bean paste, which one of our friends got (though I forgot to take a photo of her dessert). She did give my wife and I a taste; it was probably the better of the two. But I did enjoy the cheese flavor Taiyaki.
If you are interested in checking out this dessert place, the name is 晴子家 or pronounced as Qíngzi jiā and the address is 天河南一路90号 or pronounced as Tiānhé nán yīlù 90 hào.
