Seoul’s viral Kitchen 205 returns to Regent Taipei
首爾爆紅的「KITCHEN 205」重返台北晶華酒店
| TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – Kitchen 205, South Korea’s "naked strawberry cake" pioneer, returns to Regent Taipei.
After shattering hotel sales records last year — selling over 10,000 cakes in a single month — this cult-favorite brand brings back its legendary strawberry garden cake, famed for selling every 30 seconds at its Seoul flagship. This season introduces the chocolate strawberry garden cake, a sophisticated adult-style dessert blending rich chocolate sponge with a sleek glaze and fresh fruit. Also debuting is the winter strawberry parfait, a multilayered glass featuring yogurt, granola, and whole strawberries, designed for those who seek the perfect balance of texture and visual artistry. Elevating the festival, Regent’s Executive Pastry Chef Delcourt Laurent unveils a signature French collection. From the pistachio-infused strawberry Paris-Brest to the caramelized St. Honore, these creations marry local seasonal produce with authentic European technique, offering a masterclass in patisserie craftsmanship. Complementing the take-out offerings, the hotel’s first-floor Azie restaurant provides an elevated dine-in experience for those seeking a tranquil afternoon escape. The exclusive winter strawberry parfait tea set pairs the newly debuted parfait with a curated selection of premium coffee or tea, allowing guests to savor the vibrant flavors while immersed in the grand, high-ceilinged ambiance of the hotel’s atrium. This in-house experience bridges the gap between a casual treat and a formal high tea, catering to Taipei’s increasingly discerning "slow living" demographic. The limited-edition creations are available for pre-order via the "Regent take home" online platform, ensuring that fans of Kitchen 205 can secure their legendary cakes without navigating the inevitable queues. From the sleek six-inch gift boxes to the grab-and-go parfait sets, the packaging is designed to reflect the same visual artistry found within the glass, making these treats a premier choice for seasonal gifting and social gatherings alike. |
