Tainan's popular thousand-layer cake, if you don't make a reservation, you can't eat it even if you have a seat on site: Xiaoman

#100 Ways to Travel #小满 A popular thousand-layer cake shop in Tainan is hidden in a quiet back alley of Fuqian Street. The room is decorated with plants and is open from 5pm to 11pm. I thought there would be no one there on weekdays, so I went there on a whim after dinner at around 6pm. Unexpectedly, there was a sign at the door saying that they were sold out today! This is too exaggerated. Isn’t today a normal day? Although the store was not full, all the mille-feuilles were sold out, leaving only croissants and Thai milk croissants, so I'll get one of each. The clerk said that you can make an online reservation for the cake first so you don’t have to worry about it being sold out on site. Although they are not the main hot-selling products, croissants and cannelloni are also good. The croissants are full of cinnamon flavor and almond slices, and have a slightly crispy and soft texture. The cannelloni has a cold filling and a solid and rich taste with many layers. It is delicious. Xiaoman is located in a residential area, but it is a building within a building. As soon as you enter, you will see the working kitchen. It seems that it mainly serves take-out reservations. The internal dining area has one and two floors. I thought it was a hipster shop, but the decoration is very European, with the atmosphere of a British afternoon tea, elegant and quiet. The menu is based entirely on the store’s IG limited edition. If you want to eat the Thousand Layer, remember to check and order on IG the day before, and then come to the store early the next day to eat. I can only say that there are really many unique stores in Tainan.
