New Taiyangtang Bakery Sun Cake (Lard, 12 pcs)
Product ID: AKS-20261101-RPBF
New Taiyangtang Bakery's sun cake (non-vegetarian) is a traditional handmade sun cake from No. 51, Sec. 2, Ziyou Road, Taichung. It suits people who want the old-style Taichung taste of lard and maltose. Media reports say some bakers from the original Taiyangtang joined New Taiyangtang after the original shop closed in 2012. The official site says it uses handmade maltose and shop-rendered lard, with a fragrant, flaky, layered crust and a filling that is sweet but not cloying. Ingredients are wheat flour, sugar, maltose, lard and salad oil. There are no preservatives, and it contains gluten. Boxes come in 12, 16 and 30 pieces, and there is also a milk version (lacto-vegetarian). It keeps about two weeks at room temperature; keep it away from damp, heat and direct sun. Buy at the Ziyou Road shop or on the official site.

PTT User: Authentic lard aroma, but sweetness feels heavy for modern palates without tea
Machine translated · Original language: Chinese (Taiwan) · Source language: Chinese (Taiwan)
Source
- Post: [Review] Taichung Ziyou Rd New Tai-Yang-Tang Lard Suncake Unboxing
- Platform: PTT Food Board Member "oldcookie" | Type: Independent food critique
Key Highlights
- Rich lard aroma greets your senses immediately upon opening the packaging.
- Maltose filling is thick and intensely sweet; eating a whole piece plain can feel slightly heavy for low-sugar eaters.
- Best paired with hot oolong or unsweetened green tea so the astringency cuts through the sweetness.
✅ Pros
- High-purity traditional lard fragrance favored by connoisseurs
- Expertly baked golden flaky crust
❌ Cons
- Maltose filling is on the sweeter side, getting cloying if eaten alone
- Ineligible for vegetarians due to animal lard
📝 Summary Review
Strictly faithful to classic antique recipes. The lard aroma is spot-on, though the sweetness is traditional—tea pairing is a must.

PTT 鄉民：傳統豬油香醇但甜度對現代口味偏重，未配茶單吃容易生膩
來源
- 文章：[食記] 台中自由路新太陽堂餅店太陽餅（葷）老味道開箱
- 平台：PTT Food 美食板板友「oldcookie」｜類型：資深食客獨立心得
重點摘要
- 豬油香味非常道地，打開外袋就能聞到濃濃的古早糕餅味。
- 內餡麥芽厚實且偏甜，若連續單吃一整顆，尾韻的甜度對習慣微糖無糖飲食的人來說稍顯負擔。
- 一定要配熱的高山烏龍茶或無糖綠茶，茶葉的澀感與麥芽甜味才能相互中和。
✅ 優點
- 古早味豬油香純度高，老饕的最愛
- 餅皮烘焙火候到家，金黃香酥
❌ 缺點
- 麥芽糖餡甜度偏高，單吃易生膩
- 對不吃動物油的年輕族群或素食者受限
📝 總結評語
道地忠於原味的古法太陽餅，豬油香無可挑剔；但甜度偏向老派厚重，強烈建議佐茶享用。
