The green bean soft serve ice cream cone and green bean soup are both impressive. The ice cream is rich in milk flavor, with a delicate fragrance of green beans, and the cone is crispy. The green bean soup has plump green beans, a creamy texture, and a moderate sweetness, making it very enjoyable overall.
The overall atmosphere is amazing, especially the unique dessert experience that leaves a lasting impression.
The staff are friendly and provide detailed information, making customers feel cared for.

▪️Mung Bean Soft Serve Cone $80
▪️Mung Bean Soup (given on the day of voting)
I originally had no expectations for the ice cream, but I ended up really liking it. It's quite large, and I love its milky taste, while the mung bean flavor is a subtle accompaniment. It's very smooth and delicious, but if you are someone who loves a strong mung bean flavor, you might be a little disappointed. The cone itself is also very tasty!
The mung bean soup was obtained through voting that day, and I’m not sure if the original size is the same, so I didn’t price it. The mung bean soup was a bit surprising; I initially thought it would be a beautiful shallow soup, but the mung beans were very plump and cooked to a creamy consistency. It had the skin but you couldn’t taste it, and the texture was excellent. The soup wasn’t too sweet, making it super enjoyable!!
Overall, it was quite impressive because there’s only a branch in Taichung. If I pass by, I would want to stop by and eat again (the staff mentioned that the soft serve is only available at the Qing Shui rest area).
Review by a user: There are many wash basins in the service area, which is very convenient.
I hope the mung bean soup branch will be located at the Qing Shui service area. It turns out to be a branch of a well-known Taichung store, and their products can also be purchased at 7-11! They focus on desserts made with mung beans, red beans, and grass jelly, along with ice cream, offering both single items and set choices. Right now, there’s a promotion where you can vote online to receive a cup of mung bean soup.
This time I tried two items:
Mung Bean Soup (60 NTD): The sweetness is just right, with plump and soft mung bean grains that have no shell texture. It’s rare to find mung bean soup where the beans are intact and not mushy; when I cook it at home, they usually break or overcook.
Mung Bean Ice Cream Cone (80 NTD): The creamy ice cream has a natural mung bean flavor that isn’t too sweet, and it pairs perfectly with the crispy cone.
Overall, both items are worth trying, especially for those who enjoy refreshing desserts.
