The taro puree mixed ice and grass jelly pudding at this ice shop are outstanding, paired with taro balls and taro sauce along with homemade brown sugar syrup, which is very fragrant. The taro is handled well, and the pearls and brown sugar jelly also add to the experience.
The dining environment is acceptable, mainly featuring large round tables, which may require sharing tables with others, making it feel somewhat crowded.
You need to place your order at the counter first, and then report for your table. If there are no available seats at that time, you will need to wait. The process is somewhat cumbersome.

🍠 Only this bowl in summer! Taro puree mixed ice $85, with taro balls and taro sauce making a double appearance, and then you can choose three toppings. I picked taro, pearls, and brown sugar jelly. The overall experience is really a step above the typical Taiwanese shaved ice—it's finely textured, fragrant syrup, and you can even add extra ice, brown sugar, and condensed milk for free. It feels very generous! 🧊
🥄 The taro balls have a nice chewiness, and the taro sauce is smooth and creamy. Paired with the shop's homemade brown sugar syrup, it really hits the spot—the taro is truly strong! It's fluffy yet light, not mushy or hard, retaining its texture and aroma. It's the best way I've had taro recently! 💜 The pearls are also well-cooked, and the brown sugar jelly is an added bonus—chewy yet soft, with a unique twist.
👭 A bowl is just right for two people, but I could easily finish it alone (laughs). It's one of my must-visit favorites in the summer, and every time I eat here, I feel it’s worth it. 🥹
🥛 I also ordered a bowl of grass jelly with taro balls for $50. The grass jelly is smooth, and the milk flavor is not too heavy—it’s refreshing. After finishing the ice, this is a perfect way to end the meal. ✨

Location: Located in Wenshan District, Taipei City, a two-minute walk from the bus stop at Zhongshun Temple.
Dining Environment: Pretty good, mostly large round tables, and you may have to share a table with others.
Ordering Method: Order at the counter and then find a seat. If there are no seats available at the moment, you'll have to wait until you have a seat before going back to the counter to let them know where you are sitting (but many people go to reserve seats first).
Brown Sugar Shaved Ice $60
You can add condensed milk for free. This time, I chose toppings including tapioca pearls, taro balls, taro jelly, and taro.
The tapioca pearls and jelly are both brown sugar flavored, and they are delicious 😍 I love the chewy toppings. I'm not a big fan of taro, but I suddenly wanted to eat it today, so I ordered a portion. The taro is cut into small square pieces and seems to have been soaked in syrup because it is very sweet.
Taro Milk (Small Shaved Ice) $70
It contains taro puree, taro balls, tapioca pearls, and milk. I guarantee that taro lovers will love this; from the toppings to the sweet soup base, it's all packed with taro. By the end, the taro puree mixes in with the milk!
This is currently the best value ice shop I’ve been to in Taipei; highly recommended.
