Helin Floating Island: A hidden oasis for brunch in Taoyuan

Helin Floating Island: A hidden oasis for brunch in Taoyuan Hidden in the alleys of Taoyuan, there is an amazing brunch restaurant - "Helin Floating Island". This restaurant has become a popular check-in spot for locals and tourists with its fresh and natural atmosphere, exquisite meals and meticulous service. On a sunny weekend morning, I decided to go and check it out. Not only did I satisfy my taste buds, but I also experienced a visual and spiritual healing journey. Environment: A perfect fusion of nature and modernity As soon as you step into Helin Floating Island, you will be greeted by a fresh breeze. The store's design is dominated by natural elements, with wooden tables and chairs, lush green plants, and large floor-to-ceiling windows that allow sunlight to filter in naturally, creating a warm and comfortable dining environment. There is a tall indoor plant in the center of the store, its leaves shining green in the light, as if bringing the outdoors into the room. The large white flowerpot and a snake-like plant with slender leaves next to it add a touch of freshness. The store's decoration style combines modern and natural elements. The exposed ceiling and industrial-style ventilation duct design contrast with the wooden walls and warm lighting, yet coexist harmoniously. The open shelves behind the counter are neatly arranged with tableware and coffee utensils, revealing the store's attention to detail. The sign at the entrance reads "Sót Càphê Bistro 禾林浮岛" in both Chinese and English, and there is also a line of words "Waiting Area", which makes it look international and friendly. There is also a Duskin disinfection machine next to it, which shows the store’s emphasis on hygiene and safety, making people feel at ease. I chose a seat by the window. Tableware and paper towels were already laid out on the wooden table. There was also a menu on the table with "BREAKFAST" written on the cover. When I opened it, I could see a rich brunch selection with prices ranging from 280 yuan to 360 yuan. The main feature was Wooden Plate Breakfast, which made me look forward to the next meal. Meals: a visual and taste treat At the waiter's recommendation, I ordered a "Classic Double Thick Bacon Sausage" for NT$360, paired with a cup of the store's signature coffee drink. While waiting for the meal, I couldn’t help but take pictures of the environment inside the store. The tableware and paper towels placed on the wooden table, as well as the drink that was about to be served, all made me feel the attention to detail of Helin Floating Island. The first thing served was a layered coffee drink served in a transparent tall glass, which had a great visual effect. The drink is divided into three layers. The bottom layer is rich coffee, the middle layer is dense milk foam, and the top layer is sprinkled with a layer of cocoa powder, exuding a rich aroma. I gently picked up the cup, the delicate taste of the milk foam blended perfectly with the rich coffee, the slight bitterness and milky aroma intertwined on the tip of the tongue after taking a sip, leaving a long-lasting aftertaste. This drink is not only a taste enjoyment, but also a visual feast that makes people can't help but take a few more photos. Then, the main course "Classic Double Thick Bacon" was served. The meal is served on a wooden plate, filled to the brim with colours that will whet your appetite. There is a golden grilled sausage on the wooden plate, accompanied by thick-cut bacon, exuding an enticing aroma. On the side was a small portion of scrambled eggs sprinkled with fresh herbs, which had a smooth texture and melted in your mouth. There were also a few crispy fried French fries, paired with a small cup of tangy sauce, which added a bit of interest. There was also a small salad on the wooden plate, which contained fresh lettuce, tomatoes and shredded carrots, topped with a refreshing vinaigrette, which balanced the overall greasy feeling. What surprised me most was a piece of thick toast on a wooden plate, sprinkled with fine powdered sugar, cut into several pieces, and exuding a faint milky aroma. The toast is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The moment you bite it, the sweet taste melts in your mouth, forming a perfect contrast with the bacon and sausage next to it. There is also a small cup of thick soup next to the wooden plate. The soup is a warm orange color and sprinkled with a few vanilla leaves. It tastes rich but not greasy, with the sour and sweet taste of tomatoes and the smoothness of cream, which makes people feel warm. Another surprise: open sandwiches and soup In addition to the wood-pan breakfast, I also ordered an open-faced sandwich with a bowl of gumbo. This sandwich is colorful and mouth-watering, with thick-cut bread, topped with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, shallots and nuts, and a rich creamy sauce with a touch of sweet sauce. The crispness of the bread pairs perfectly with the freshness of the vegetables, giving each bite a layer of flavor. The salad on the side was equally fresh, with strawberries and corn chips, adding a bit of surprise. The soup is a bowl of tomato soup with a few vanilla leaves sprinkled on the surface. It tastes rich but not greasy. The sweet and sour taste of tomatoes and the smoothness of cream are perfectly blended. It is a perfect match when paired with a sandwich. Summary: A feast for the body, mind and soul This brunch at Helin Floating Island is not only a taste enjoyment, but also a visual and spiritual therapy. The natural atmosphere, exquisite meals and meticulous service in the store make people feel the store's commitment to quality.
