Taichung Food｜A Retro-Style Ice Cream Shop Hidden in an Old Bank

When visiting Taichung, everyone usually stops by Miyahara Ophthalmology. But if you're looking for a place to sit down and enjoy some ice cream, this spot is highly recommended. The building was originally "Taichung Building Credit Purchase and Utilization Cooperative Limited Liability". It retains the old bank's space while incorporating a retro industrial style. From the vault, iron-barred windows, to the ant patterns on the floor, every detail is filled with nostalgia and surprises. Here’s what I ordered: 🍧 Aiwen Mango Shaved Ice (TWD 280) Featuring thick slices of mango, the shaved ice underneath is smooth and creamy, while still maintaining a slight icy texture. Paired with vanilla pineapple ice cream and blueberries, it offers a refreshing sweet-and-sour taste with rich layers. 🧋 Miyahara Pearl Milk Tea Slush (TWD 180) With a slightly grainy texture from the crushed ice, it blends the rich aroma of milk tea with chewy brown sugar pearls. 🧇 Pineapple Salsa Fried Squid Waffle (TWD 200) Crispy waffles topped with cheese, fried squid, and pineapple salsa sauce, creating a salty-sweet, refreshing, and creative dish. After eating, you can browse the gift section, which offers a variety of exquisitely packaged souvenirs. The overall design is steeped in retro aesthetics, making it perfect for gifting or personal collection.
