Almond Shaved Ice & Jelly, Eslite, Taipei


On a blisteringly hot summer's day last week, we had a craving for something cold and refreshing. As we were around Eslite building in the Xinyi District in Taipei, we decided to try this dessert in the food court ...

"Almond" Shaved Ice & Jelly ...


We had the option of choosing from a few different ingredients to complement the shaved "almond" ice. The ice shavings are basically from "almond milk", or apricot kernels (if literally translated from Chinese to English, apricot kernels = almond) ground into powder then made into a milky liquid and frozen.

We chose "almond" jelly, which looks like this ...


Some white fungus ...


And boiled peanuts ...


This whole concoction was simply delicious! Will definitely be going back for more before the end of summer :)
