Also known to the initiated as “pies sold from the back of a truck.”



Finding yummy pies (as with flans, carrot cakes, ad infinitum) is quite a bit of a challenge in Taipei but I managed to find a source. Try Mom’s.

Depending on the day of the week, vendors for Mom’s American Style Homemade Pies （艾媽咪美式鄉村派) can be found at various locations through out Taipei. Today, Tuesdays, there is a vendor at the 7-11 by Daan MRT station after 4pm. On Wednesdays the pie truck is by the NTU （台大）gate at Xinhai & Fushing from around noon. On Thursdays, Mom’s Pies are sold at two locations: after 4pm at the intersection of Heping and Wenzhou and also at the Lutheran Church by Heping and Fushing South.

Flavors? For the Standard Pies, Mom’s offers Red Bean (yeah, I know), Taro (yesh, I know as well), Purple Yam (uh-huh), Oatmeal, Pumpkin, Pecan, Dutch Apple and Peach. For Cheese Pies there are Cream Cheese, Blueberry, Green Tea, Cocoa, Pineapple Coconut, Cherry, Coffee, Green Bean and Raspberry.

I’ve had the Coffee, Pecan (both pictured in the above from left to right), Pumpkin and the Dutch Apple and I’d recommend all of them.

So now, what would you like in your pie? Hole.

*Snigger*

You may call and order your pies for pick up. It’s 45nt a slice and 360nt for a box of 8 slices. You may mix and match flavors.
