Ever since I tried snow ice in Hongkong and Taipei, I fell in love with it. It became one of my favourite desserts. Whenever I could afford the calorie, I would have it. I knew this place serving tradition sweet soups and snow ice for long. Wherever it serves snow ice, it catches my attention. This was another Sunday biking, I reached Chinatown at early afternoon, it was around 2+pm, I have yet to have my lunch. I decided to have my dessert first then lunch. This place is popular and alway
Ever since I tried snow ice in Hongkong and Taipei, I fell in love with it. It became one of my favourite desserts. Whenever I could afford the calorie, I would have it. I knew this place serving tradition sweet soups and snow ice for long. Wherever it serves snow ice, it catches my attention. This was another Sunday biking, I reached Chinatown at early afternoon, it was around 2+pm, I have yet to have my lunch. I decided to have my dessert first then lunch. This place is popular and always packed with patrons. I managed to find a seat next to my bike, browse their menu, they serve few types of snow ice only, from the picture most of them looked too much colouring to me, my last option was chendol snow ice as ice was white in colour, it really looked like real ice!As you can see the picture, they stack high the snow ice, ingredients are the usual chendol, there are few pieces of transparent cube, mild sweet to taste, I guess this is transparent agar agar, quite interesting though. Syrup is putting by myself, I like this idea as I can control the sweetness myself.
Here comes the pure white snow ice, it has rich coconut flavour, smooth and melt in your mouth. The richness is like using the coconut milk to freeze then shave to snow ice, no addition of water. Though it is really rich coconut taste but I love it simply. I saw some patrons having mango snow ice, this time the colour is too rich to me, it is too artificial and too much colouring. I was happy with chendol snow ice.
