Mango Shaved Ice

Shaved ice mountains are often large blocks of flavored ice that have been shaved into ribbony sheets or a fine snow-like powder by a machine. Red-bean packed tapioca shaved ice is provided alongside the classic version.

Mango shaved ice is a popular Taiwanese ice dish made by shaving mango-flavored ice into a bowl and topping it with fresh mango cubes and condensed milk. Fresh fruit, such as strawberries or kiwis, scoops of mango or vanilla ice cream, pannacotta, sorbet, and jam are all common accompaniments to the dessert.

To appeal to the younger generation, they are now piled high with fresh fruit and flavorings such as mango pieces, Taro balls, mung beans, tapioca balls, and grass jelly, all soaked in a hefty dosage of condensed juice and sweet milk. This summer and winter delicacy has a silky, melt-in-your-mouth texture and is characterized by a fresh, fruity flavor with a light sweetness.
