“Almond tea with douhua and fried dough creates clearly different smooth, crisp, dry, and soaked textures. The traditional Taiwanese pairing and the shop's 1997 founding add cultural context to this small dessert stop.”

WHY VISIT

Why add it to your itinerary?

01
One almond tea, two different textures

Cold almond tea supports the fine, silky douhua, while hot almond tea slowly softens fried dough sticks as they absorb liquid. One gentle almond aroma gives two distinct ways to eat.

02
Featured in a temple-street snack report

The Storm Media featured 永昌 in a snack story around Xiahai City God Temple, placing its almond-tea desserts on a Dadaocheng temple-street tasting route.

The story behind this place

A bowl of almond sweetness outside Yongle Market

From chilled douhua to winter hot drinks with fried dough sticks, traditional desserts take on different forms with the seasons.

Almond Tea Douhua MetroBites visit photo

Almond Tea Douhua

Chilled almond tea is cool, sweet, and gently fragrant without overpowering the tofu pudding. The douhua is fine, creamy, and nearly melts in the mouth, making the bowl clean and easy to eat.

Fried Dough Stick with Almond Tea

A winter combination of hot almond tea with a naturally gentle aroma and a cool fried dough stick. As it soaks, the dough moves from crisp to soft and moist, creating a clear change in texture.

A TASTE OF TAIWAN

An old Taiwanese way to pair almond tea with fried dough

Almond tea with fried dough sticks is a traditional Taiwanese way to eat. 永昌 places the combination among its winter sweet-soup choices. As the fried dough absorbs the hot tea, its crispness gradually turns soft and moist; alternating sipping and eating is part of the pleasure of this old-fashioned pairing.

FIRST VISIT

First visit: how to order

01
Check seasonal availability first

Sweet-soup offerings change with the season, and fried dough sticks with almond tea are a winter combination. If that is what you came for, check whether it is available that day before ordering.

METROBITES LOCAL TIP
Dip the fried dough in sections to compare textures

Keep one section of the fried dough stick dry and dip another into the hot almond tea. Eat each at your preferred level of softness to compare crisp texture with the tender, tea-soaked version.

✨ AI visit note

永昌傳統豆花店 sits on Yongchang Street on the edge of Yongle Market in Taipei's Datong District, near Beimen Station. Founded in 1997, this small Dadaocheng shop focuses on old-fashioned sweet soups such as almond tea and douhua, with taro milk dessert, white fungus soup, and seasonal choices as well. It is a comfortable stop during a Dihua Street walk for anyone who likes natural almond fragrance and fine, silky tofu pudding.

Interior and dining atmosphere:The shop hides in a small corner opposite Yongle Market. It is compact and simply decorated, with a straightforward menu and media clippings on the walls, preserving the plain look of a traditional dessert shop. There are only three tables inside, and dine-in and takeaway traffic passes close together. Even on weekday afternoons, customers come and go, and a short wait for a seat is possible. Wooden tabletops and simple utensils make sitting down with almond tea and douhua feel like stepping into a familiar neighborhood sweet-soup shop in Dadaocheng.
Location and dining notes:The address is 台北市大同區永昌街9號, on the edge of Yongle Market beside the Xiahai City God Temple area, within Dadaocheng and walkable from Beimen Station. There are only three tables, so you may need to wait or choose takeaway when it is busy. Sweet-soup offerings change by season, and almond tea with fried dough is a winter combination. If you want a particular seasonal item, rely on what is available that day.
Almond Tea Douhua

Almond Tea Douhua pours chilled almond tea over a full bowl of tofu pudding. The first impression is cool sweetness, followed by a fine, creamy texture that nearly melts in the mouth. The almond aroma is not overpowering and the sweetness does not cover the douhua itself, so the two combine into a fresh, easy double layer. If you like almond but worry about a scent that is too strong, this bowl presents the shop's style gently.

Fried Dough Stick with Almond Tea

Fried Dough Stick with Almond Tea is one of the classic combinations here. The almond tea is balanced and gentle rather than sharply perfumed, with a natural, smooth almond aroma. It arrives quite hot; once the cool fried dough is dipped in, it absorbs the liquid and gradually changes from crisp to moist and soft. Sip some almond tea first, then soak the dough in sections and eat it at the texture you prefer.


Uncle's line: Almond fragrance does not need to push to the front. Let it gently support fried dough or douhua, and an old-fashioned bowl becomes easier to keep eating.
💡 Ordering note

In winter, choose Fried Dough Stick with Almond Tea to compare hot and cool, dry and soaked textures. Keep one section of the dough dry and dip another into the hot drink. In warmer weather or when you prefer something silky, Almond Tea Douhua is more refreshing. The menu shifts by season and the three tables fill easily; takeaway offers more flexibility if you plan to keep walking around Dadaocheng.

  • Location:台北市大同區永昌街9號, on the edge of Yongle Market beside Xiahai City God Temple.
  • Type:Almond tea, douhua, and traditional sweet soups.
  • Highlights:Founded in 1997, with natural almond aroma, fine douhua, and a variety of seasonal desserts.
  • Best for:A Dihua Street walk, fans of almond tea and traditional sweet soups, or anyone wanting a short rest.

📌 Editor's summary

永昌傳統豆花店 does not rely on spacious seating or elaborate décor; its identity comes from almond tea and douhua. Fried Dough Stick with Almond Tea lets the gentle natural almond aroma carry the dough from crisp to soft as you control the soaking time, while Almond Tea Douhua offers a cooler combination of sweet soup and silky tofu pudding. With only three tables, wall menus, and a steady flow of takeaway customers, the tiny room keeps the everyday feel of a regulars' shop. Walking from Beimen into the Dihua Street area, it is an easy stop near Yongle Market for finishing with an understated old-fashioned dessert.
