Tainan - The salty and sweet taste of fermented bean curd cream ice: Island Ice Shop

#100TravelWays #TainanTravel The weather in Tainan is hot, which is the best time to eat ice to cool off. A number of popular ice shops are competing fiercely, and they can be roughly divided into two major schools: traditional eight-treasure ice and internet-famous fruit ice. #島入冰店, located in the alley next to Chihkan Tower, cleverly captures the essence, combining old and new elements such as old houses, fermented tofu, and fruit gradients to create a unique Japanese shaved ice shop. "Dao Ru" is actually "fermented tofu" in Taiwanese. Fermented tofu is added to shaved ice as a condiment. What a magical taste! The most representative "Unique Island Ice" not only has homemade fermented bean curd cream, but also adds Beigang soft peanuts, bean cheese, two-color white jade, molasses crisps, raisins and sweet potato chips. It is very beautifully decorated and very suitable for internet beauties to pose for photos! In terms of taste, it has the sweetness of cream and the salty sweetness of fermented bean curd, a blend of salty, sweet and cool tastes with quite rich layers. With the addition of special ingredients such as molasses and sweet potato chips, it feels like digging for treasure, with surprises in every bite! At the island ice shop, you queue up to be seated, scan the code to order, and pay at the counter. This time I ordered the blue "Summer Lemon Tree" and the "Angel Citrus" which is limited to August and September. It’s like being under a lemon tree under a blue summer sky! I have to praise the menu copywriting of Daoiri, which captures the tone of literary youth very well. The yellow lemon, blue mandarin and Calpis yogurt create a refreshing blue like marble soda, and visually it also gives a cool feeling of eating ice cream. Wandering in the soft embrace of citrus, the roasted Italian meringue is blended with five types of citrus: yellow lemon, mandarin orange, mogo, grapefruit and green lime. It is sweet and sour and refreshing. You can also add Cointreau orange wine to make the taste more flavorful and the aftertaste even stronger. Chikan East Street is a small red brick alley. Dao Ruben is an old house with a mezzanine on the first floor. The first floor is the ordering area, and there are very few seats on the second floor, so a modern indoor area was built opposite, with seating both indoors and outdoors, and the space is much larger. It is a very special scene to see food being delivered using a rappelling rope on the second floor of an old house. If you like the old-house style of this internet-famous ice cream shop, you can come and try it, but be prepared to queue on holidays! #Island Ice Shop 🕰️Opening hours: 1200-1800 📍Address: No. 9, Lane 208, Section 2, Minzu Road, West Central District, Tainan City #Tainan alleys looking for food
