Don't let the chicken logo fool you - this is a bakery, not a Taiwanese fried chicken restaurant. ;) Actually, Uncle Charlie's was my final stop in Kaohsiung, a cluttered, somewhat grimy (I had an unpleasant customer service experience right upon entering that made me contemplate just walking out altogether, hence the bias) bakery that sells different varieties of bread and buns, silly cakes and pineapple cake gift boxes, cookies and - of all things - popsicles. Judging by the slightly faded yet permanent poster outside, their specialty seems to be full taro and red bean pies; however, I can't recall seeing them inside or if smaller pieces are available.
Another more unusual find, though certainly not on the same Asian baked good level as taro and red bean, was the apple flaky pastry ($30). In truth, I usually avoid the more Western items in Chinese bakeries, because they're not very good, but I wanted something different. It did definitely look more flaky on the outside, which was a bit surprising since Chinese bakeries do know flaky, and it could have benefited from more apples, but the taste, overall texture of the dough, apples and flaky outer layer as well was the level of sweetness was quite good. Yes, despite the shopping experience.
