心地冰室

I happened to pass by and was attracted by the exterior decoration; it's an ice shop with a style that combines Taiwanese retro and Japanese elements!

My friend and I ordered two ice desserts, both of which came with three small glutinous rice balls. The volcano snow ice had lychee ice cream on top with butterfly pea flowers and strawberry sauce. The portion was very large, but it was also very sweet, making it quite cloying after just half (there was grass jelly at the bottom). The rice wine flavor was strong, but my friend felt it was a bit too overpowering. The snow ice had a strong milk flavor and was delicious.

I don't know if it's because they just opened, but there were some aspects I felt were a bit disappointing. For example, they couldn't serve condensed milk separately, they didn't provide water, and on that day, there was a promotional shoot (probably for a food show), but the staff didn't inform other customers inside the shop at all. The cameras were constantly shooting right at us, the host was very loud, and the small shop was overcrowded with the filming crew, making it difficult to move around. I even had to unplug equipment for the filming team just to use the restroom... Overall, it was a very uncomfortable dining experience.
