Private House Strawberry 私房草莓 – A Must-Try Strawberry Specialty Shop on Yongkang Street

#newyearnewtrip Private House Strawberry 私房草莓 is one of the good eats along Yongkang Street, especially for strawberry lovers. With multiple outlets across Taiwan, this specialty store focuses on high-quality dried fruits, with strawberries as their main highlight. They offer dried strawberries in two textures—chewy or crunchy—along with a variety of strawberry-based treats such as smoothies, shakes, and ice cream. They also sell dried peaches, providing another option for those who enjoy natural fruit snacks. Tried the strawberry ice cream smoothie shake, which was topped with dried strawberries. Though the serving was small, the flavor was anything but. Made purely with fresh strawberries and milk, the drink had no artificial flavorings or added sweeteners, allowing the natural sweetness and tartness of the fruit to shine. The smoothie itself was creamy and velvety, while the dried strawberries on top added a satisfying chew, enhancing both the taste and texture. There’s no seating, so it’s more of a quick stop than a café-style experience, but it’s a great place to grab a refreshing treat while wandering through Yongkang Street. They also have samples of their dried strawberries on the counter, making it easy to try before deciding which texture suits your preference. Their dried strawberries make for a thoughtful food souvenir or a delicious snack, especially for those who appreciate simple, natural fruit flavors.
