津芳冰城
🍧 Taitung City ▫️ Around the Night Market
🍧 A long-established ice shop with over 50 years of history
How long can the taste of memories linger❔
At least I’ve remembered the flavor since I had it 10 years ago
I still remember the amazement when I first tasted the salty ice pop
Made with salted egg yolk 🥚, milk 🥛, and almonds 🌰,
It burst with a wonderful flavor that was absolutely unimaginable.
This old-fashioned ice shop is located on the most bustling Zhengqi Road in Taitung,
And even former President Tsai Ing-wen has been a customer (there's a sign outside).
There are plenty of seats both inside and outside the shop,
But I wonder if it’s because the typhoon just passed 🌀,
This trip—despite being a holiday—was completely empty 🥹.
Due to the noticeable fermented fruit skin scent inside the shop,
We chose to sit outside where it was breezy.
Biting into a super affordable ice pop costing only 20 NT dollars,
It felt as if time froze in that moment 🤍.
I initially wanted to buy an entire styrofoam cooler like 10 years ago and send it home,
But then I thought, sometimes having it infrequently
Might actually make it taste even better.
So I decided to consider this as one of the reasons to revisit Taitung next time ✨.
