grass jelly shave ice. pengHu.

1 Jul

visited peng hu, an island off the southwest area of taiwan, for the first time last weekend. and ate tOns of good food.

what stood out the most was their grass jelly shave ice. the fluffy kind, with the flavor in the ice.

this is the “mixed/combo” grass jelly ice-“cotton ice” type texture. with tapiocas and pearls. their glutinous toppings were all very chewy and fresh- nothing soggy or mushy. we went twice.. and i’m craving it again now.

looks weird- but so good. its refreshing and light- and for a dessert, its not really sweet at all.. it has more of the bitter grass jelly flavor. the condensed milk mini tapioca topping adds some sweetness.

yuM. i would fly back just to eat this again.
