| - Taiwanese ice, Vegas style.
Am I in hell? It's 110 degrees. The Prius says 125 outside. I'm seat belted in and on the 15 when I realize I'm still wearing a hoody. AC not cooling s#!%. Finally, the trailer. Frost Bites Shavery and relief. Within minutes cup in hand. Scoop one, light, fluffy, COLD, ahhhh. Scoop two, body temperature falling, I'm forgetting I'm still wearing a hoody. Scoop three; NOOOOO, it's melting!!!
This is good stuff. Hawaii yeeps, think Frostcity on steroids. Ribbons of fluffy goodness are shaved from blocks of highly concentrated. naturally flavored ice. Light, fluffy, delicious for the first two or three scoops then the texture changes it quickly becomes wet and "mushy", the sweetness becomes cloying. Stick to the smallest size. You can always get another. (went back four times in one visit. Scoop, scoop, toss, order, scoop, scoop, toss... Things we do for yelp)
Flavors are strong and delish while the ice stays ice. Vanilla (cloying sweetness), mango (floral, intense, cloying finish), green tea (bitter sweet tea flavor, best once melted), black sesame (nice sesame aroma, different, cloying finish).
Toppings are akin to a froyo bar, ie big chunks of fruits, nuts, crackers, candy, and cookies. They detract and overpower the ice. Too much crunch or texture and flavor.
Inexpensive ranging from $2.25 to $6.25 for a family size cup.
Very good but more of a sweet treat than a chilling refresher (I guess that's why we have beer).
