Today I happened to be nearby to handle some matters, so I brought someone along to have ice.

Rui Yuan Ice City is an old-time ice shop established in 1984. In Xiaogang, I learned from the introduction that it was opened by a retired ice maker from the nearby Taiwan Sugar Corporation. The reviews online are very good.

Environment: 🌟🌟🌟🌟
The ice shop's design is simple and has a strong nostalgic vibe. From the exterior to the interior furnishings, it exudes a sense of warmth typical of old shops, especially with its handmade sign and decor, resembling a traditional Taiwanese snack shop. The store has about 20 seats.

Food: 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Their signature products include yeast red bean ice, handmade ice cream, snow banana ice, and brown sugar mixed shaved ice. This time we ordered the yeast red bean ice, which is a specialty of theirs. We had four bowls of banana shaved ice and one bowl of milk shaved ice. One way to judge an ice shop is by how well they cook their red beans. This shop's red beans are very professional—sweet without being cloying, with a perfect texture ❤️.

Service: 🌟🌟🌟🌟
The service at the shop is friendly, and the staff enthusiastically introduces the features of various ice products. Although it's a traditional old shop, they still maintain a high level of service efficiency.

Price: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
The prices are reasonable, and the portion sizes are generous, providing great value for money.

Overall Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟
The classic yeast red bean ice has a smooth texture with just the right sweetness, perfectly complemented by the fragrant aroma of yeast. Considering it’s been around for nearly 40 years, the exquisite craftsmanship and friendly prices definitely make it worth a visit.
