吉品仙草小棧

New Taipei Sanxia - A local ice shop that specializes in grass jelly. On summer afternoons, it is always packed with people, and the grass jelly ice comes with an extra large bowl of toppings!

📍 Ji Pin Grass Jelly Ice (Large) NT$80
🌕🌕🌕🌕🌘
The base of the snowflake ice is made by grinding up grass jelly ice cubes, resulting in a snow-like texture that delivers a light and fragrant grass jelly aroma.
The accompanying bowl of toppings includes: taro balls, sweet potato balls, grass jelly, red beans, pearls, and white pearls.
For NT$80, there are actually a lot of toppings, and by the end, I feel completely satisfied, taking about 20 minutes to finish it all.

The pearls have a hint of brown sugar flavor, while the other toppings are quite common and not particularly unique. The only standout is the grass jelly, which has a smooth and rich flavor that melts into the ice perfectly!

Additionally, there is a creamer provided, but I didn't use it as I feel it’s not very healthy, so I left it unopened!

▶️ Environment
🔹 The indoor seating is limited, accommodating about 10-12 people.
🔹 The shop is air-conditioned, so enjoying ice while being cooled down is indeed very refreshing.
🔹 The environment is relatively clean, bright, and comfortable.

▶️ Helpful Tips
🔹 If dining in, it’s recommended to grab a menu first to find a seat before heading to the counter to place your order.
🔹 Mobile payment options are partially supported.

▶️ Overall Rating
🔹 This shop is frequented by locals, although it is somewhat distant from the old street; it has very high ratings. I noticed they had many delivery orders while I was there, indicating a good business. The grass jelly-flavored snowflake ice is quite special, making it definitely worth a visit during the summer in Sanxia for a refreshing treat.
