Trivia
[For Women] To Taiwanese, 'Guava (Bale)' is daily scenery itself. If mango beer is for tourists, guava beer is the connoisseur choice feeling more 'local Taiwan'. Not overly sweet, it pairs with any Taiwanese food, making it the ultimate toast drink for girls' nights.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] Emulate Taiwanese stalls by rimming the glass lightly with 'Mei Fen (sweet/sour plum powder)' (snow style) to draw out the guava's sweetness to the limit!
