I arrived in Chiayi quite hungry and this bakery was pretty much around the corner from where I was staying, so I made a bakery run and ate it immediately upon returning. Despite its name, there is no focaccia for sale, nor is there anything really European, let alone Italian, that you sometimes encounter in Asian bakeries. On the other hand, they had a fairly standard selection of classic sweet and savoury buns, with a few gift box selections. Their specialty appears to be various flavours of cream rolls. I didn't come very late, but either they don't have a lot to begin with or they sell out early, this particular bakery had so little in store with a couple empty trays with labels and other sections with just one or two items left.
The dainty milk cream bun ($22) looked tasty and interesting with its strip-shaped crumble on top, which added a nice texture to the otherwise soft, fluffy bun. The dough was pretty good, but the milk cream on the inside was strangely grainy. I don't know if it was the sugar or they milk powder, but the chalky consistency was a bit off-putting. Not so bad, but not my top pick in Chiayi.
