For more than 60 years, the traditional old shop in Ximending has been a must-visit destination in Taipei for celebrities and food lovers from Taiwan and Hong Kong. It is now also a place where mainland tourists seek the old flavors! Various types of braised foods such as duck tongues and duck wings are popular and selling well, and various Shanghai pastries and tea snacks are also delicious, nostalgic flavors.
Established in Taipei in 1949! There are no other branches throughout the country.
Lao Tienlu started from Shanghai pastries and braised products. All our products are made and sold on the same day! We use as many as fourteen kinds of unique spices and traditional herbal medicine formulas to make a unique delicious braising sauce. After the first braising process, we then do a second stir-frying cooking to make the flavors of the ingredients more layered. This allows the braising fragrance to be fully locked in the meat, and then we use a rapid cooling and chilling method to reduce the sauce, making the meat texture more chewy when eating. The flavor is excellent, with a lingering fragrance on the palate!
Our Suzhou and Hangzhou tea pastries are made by our master in accordance with traditional formulas, using premium ingredients and handmade processing. For example, green bean cakes, salted sesame cakes, one-bite酥, snowflake cakes, hundred fruits cakes, etc. Moreover, we have improved them to be low-fat, reduced sugar, and made with pure vegetable oil, which is a new healthy trend that reduces the burden on the body! Our nut products such as walnuts, pine nuts, cashews, black sesame, and melon seeds are all made from high-grade raw materials. Enjoying the traditional, high-end and nostalgic "Suzhou and Hangzhou tea pastries" is only available at Shanghai Lao Tienlu in Taipei's Ximending!
