It has been a long time for everyone of my post fans🤗. I stayed in Taiwan for about a month and during that time I was extremely busy with work, study and sightseeing🏃♂️, so I was fasting social network activities. Resume the introduction of Taiwan😆!!

Well, why do you want shaved ice in Taiwan? And why does Taiwan have so many ice stores:ice_cream:?? The reason is the intensity and humidity of the sunshine, and the temperature. Because of that, you consume energy at high humidity:tired_face:. Taiwanese people say “Please prepare water” instead of “Take care”. You will always be thirsty and you will want to rush to the ice shop like a desert oasis:ice_cream:

The first photo is Taiwan’s most famous “芒果雪花冰 Mango snowflake ice”. There is a soil mango on top of the diced mango. Taiwan is a fruit treasure. Particularly representative fruits are mango, pineapple and watermelon:pear:. All of them are deep sweetness:yum:!!

“雪花冰 Snowflake ice” is fluffy ice made by cutting milk and condensed milk block ice with a special machine🍨. These shaved ice is a type that has a large amount called “冰山 Ice mountain”. According to a Taiwanese Local Guides, it seems that the large amount looks luxurious✨, so it has an advertising effect in Instagram. Therefore, it is premised that several people share👪.

Traditional shaved ice is not large. And it’s not snowflake. Snowflake Mountain costs $ 8, but it’s $ 1. Traditional ice contains “豆花 Taiwan tofu”, Red beans, “芋円 Taro dumpling” and Tapioca. Usually no fruit.

This is the traditional “一中豊仁冰 Yī zhōng lǐrén bīng” shaved ice I like most in Taiwan. Sour plum syrup, soy, and mysterious sweet ice cream😋. The delicious thing is a design that does not shine in the Instagram🤔.

What do you think of shaved ice with salty corn:corn:? It’s delicious!! Next to it is sweet taro. There are many Taiwanese foods with adventurous combinations.

Many times during my stay in Taiwan, all the daily meals were shaved ice:ice_cream:. That’s delicious, large, cheap, and able to eat the best fruits:pineapple:
!! If you travel to Taiwan just to try this ice culture, you will never lose.
Please comment on your country’s shaved ice culture. Do you have any unusual?
