| Video Discription | Sampling different sweets and Taiwanese dessert is a must in Taipei, Taiwan and one of the most famous ones worth trying is Mango Snowflake Ice also known as Mango Shaved Iced or Mango Ice Monster. Whatever the name expect copious amounts of fresh mangoes, lots of ice, panna cotta and more. It would be the perfect summer dessert although we had it just before winter ;) Doing a bit more research I believe it is know locally as Baobing or Bao Bing (刨冰 - 礤冰) or Xue hua bin (雪花冰) and two famous places worth trying it are Smoothie House (思慕昔本館) and Ice Monster.

I'm going to show you what it looks like and then I'm going to tell you all about it. So they clearly do not skimp out on advertising. Like that entire station is plastered in ads for this dessert. And apparently this is called Mango Iced Snowflake (Baobing - 刨冰 - 礤冰). And they have two shops right outside the station so let's go eat. Let's go do it. And like most places worth eating at here in Taipei (臺北市) there is a huge line but we're going to go stand there anyway. Alright, so our dessert has arrived. And it is standing room only at this particular spot. So they've got like this little bar outside where you just bring your dessert, you eat it here but check this out. So this is it. This is the Mango Snowflake Ice (Xue hua bin - 雪花冰). It is a mountain. Like this is huge. And we went for the classic so it is just mango and panna cotta on top. But I mean they probably have like ten different flavors with like strawberries and chocolate and red beans and you can choose anything really. This is also called Ice Monster in some places as well. Okay, yeah so there is two chains. There is Ice Monster (芒果冰) and Smoothie House (思慕昔本館). We're at Smoothie House (思慕昔本館) right now so let's just dig right in. Dig right in. That is amazing. Guys we're sharing this. Like apparently at this serving size is enough for two to four people. Yeah, Sam was like we should each get our own. Horrible idea. That would have been awful. That would have ruined dinner. Mmmmm. Brain freeze. Brain freeze. Did you take too big of a bite? That is amazing. The Mangoes are so sweet and ripe. Yep. Mmmm. What else are you tasting though? Oh man. It has got the mango has kind of this glaze almost. Do you taste like ice? Ice and the panna cotta? Oh yeah. You've got your ice. Your ice mountain. Mango flavored. But seriously, the fresh mango that is like my favorite part so far. It has got like this syrupy sugar that is amazing. And I love panna cotta. I love ordering this dessert whenever we're traveling in Italy. It is just so creamy and milky. So yeah, I'm really really pleased with this dessert. Mmmm. What do you think? Oh yeah, that is really sweet. You taste. You really taste the shaved ice, you really taste the syrup and the nice big chunks or mango. Fresh mango. It reminds me of something we had in Korea not too long ago called Sulbing (설빙). Yeah, which is their shaved ice dessert (Bao Bing - 刨冰 - 礤冰)) and yeah it is really good. Um, I think I would enjoy this even more on a hot day as opposed to a cool one like this but it is still a lot of fun and still really enjoying it. Yeah, I kept getting brain freezes like every second bite. That stuff was so cold. I know it was really cold. Eating cold shaved ice on a cold day. Probably not the best strategy in life but anyways yeah it was two hundred and ten Taiwan dollars which is under just under seven US dollars. So I mean if you divide it by two people it is like three dollars and fifty cents. Not bad. Not bad value. It is not the cheapest dessert but I think it is really good. It is really filling. It is one of the top 40 things you've got to eat in Taipei (臺北市) according to CNN. Well there you go. So yeah, it is worth trying and yeah let us know what you think when you give it a shot.
