Bamiyan Himonya-ten

Taiwanese castella is available warm or chilled, making the choice of how to finish your meal part of the pleasure. One visitor to the Himonya branch wrote that they chose the warm version and enjoyed its light, fluffy texture. You can also add vanilla ice cream if you fancy something a little sweeter.

For a savoury meal, consider pairing mapo tofu with dumplings. One diner praised the dumplings’ chewy wrappers and satisfying, savoury filling, and described the Musashino mapo tofu as relatively mild. Noodles offer a different direction: try the hot-and-sour soup noodles for a lighter tang, or choose tantan noodles for a richer flavour.

Alongside Taiwanese castella, the dessert menu includes coffee jelly and aiyu jelly with lemon and fruit, so there are a few ways to round off the meal.
