#掾湖 #元元食记
I passed by "Purple Jade Xiancao" today and found that there was no queue.
I wanted to try some shaved ice to satisfy my craving, so I followed the queue.

Sharing the pocket list of grass jelly ice
Sorted by store opening time⬇️
Jade Crown Fairy Grass
Blue Mama grass jelly
Purple Jade Fairy ✅
Dangu Xiancao (opened in 2024)✅
(✅This is a store that has been reviewed)

Since Ziyu bloomed the year before last,
After food bloggers successively shared and promoted the
Most local people no longer eat purple jade.
Because, basically, you have to queue up
But I personally think grass jelly ice
In fact, all the restaurants taste similar.
On the contrary, the taste of the ingredients is very different.

All the time, I only eat Babao Ice when I come to Ziyu.
The sugar water for chopped ice is divided into white sugar and brown sugar.
Personally, I like the rich flavor of brown sugar.
As for Ziyu’s sugar water, the brown sugar flavor is really strong👍🏻

Let me share with you the ingredients you would choose.
Mung beans, sweet potatoes, almond jelly, pineapples, brown sugar rice cakes, stuffed rice balls, taro balls, sweet potato balls

Ingredients that I personally think are very unique
Let me introduce it in particular~~

#sweet potato
This is the most labor-intensive and special ingredient in my opinion
Sweet potatoes with the sweetness of blackstrap molasses juice
The taste is quite soft, like honey sweet potato
It doesn’t have the soft texture of ordinary boiled food.
The layering is very obvious, and it goes great with ice cream👍🏻

#BrownsugarPowderCake
Everything you eat is made by hand.
The brown sugar flavor is rich and the rice cakes are quite chewy.
It’s as unique as Qingquan Douhua’s brown sugar powder cake.

And stuffed rice balls, taro balls, sweet potato balls
Personal opinion of taste, texture and portion size
Every time I order food, I feel like I'm going downhill...
Maybe it’s because business is very good and I’m afraid there won’t be enough sales.
So the amount given is getting smaller and smaller
The taste of taro balls and sweet potato balls is getting weaker and weaker.
Unlike when I first opened the store
Such a real taste...
Neither of them tastes like taro or sweet potato.
Instead, it feels like a lot of flour has been added.

I feel a little confused⋯
If the store's business is very good
The quality of ingredients should be maintained or improved, right?
And the proprietress and clerk in the store
I don’t know why they all look so world-weary.
Maybe you are really busy and tired?
All in all, it’s just a bit different from when I first opened it.
But this is left to Yuanyuan, who has lived in Penghu for a long time, to think about it😌

Take grass jelly ice as an example
Personally I think there are better choices~
No need to wait in line under the crazy sun!
Dangu Xiancao and Blue Mama Xiancao are both great👍🏻
