This was my first try of this type of shaved ice. It had a very, melt in your mouth, type of taste. We had banana, sesame, with a few toppings. Overall a good tasting dessert if in the area but it just wasn't my type of dessert. Great alternative with some interesting toppings and flavor options hat are uniquely Taiwanese, but I'd rather have the creaminess of ice cream or sharpness of shaved ice than this melt in your mouth dessert.
