What Jiulaifa Bakery is known for
Jiulaifa has hand-made traditional Tainan pastries like peng bing and sesame nougat from its shop on Ziqiang Street, across from the historic Kaiji Mazu Temple, since 1875. The bakery refuses wholesale distribution, selling only what it bakes itself, in person, by phone or through LINE Pay.
Jiulaifa has baked traditional Tainan pastries from its shop on Ziqiang Street, across from the historic Kaiji Mazu Temple, since 1875 — nearly 150 years of continuous, handmade production. The bakery's best-known product, peng bing, is stamped with zodiac designs using food-approved dyes, a practice the shop has kept alongside its other offerings, sesame nougat (mahlao), rice cakes, and traditional ritual offering snacks.
Jiulaifa deliberately avoids wholesale distribution, selling only what it bakes itself directly to customers — a stance the bakery frames as a way of preserving its century-old recipes rather than scaling production. Packaging stays minimal, in keeping with that same philosophy. Local press has recognized the shop for maintaining traditional, ancient baking methods while training younger artisans in the same heritage techniques.
Orders can be placed in person, by phone or through LINE Pay, and the shop is open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.
