While Chinese medicinal herbs are often used in savory soups, one famous dessert shop in Taichung uses them in shaved ice. Inspired by traditional Taiwanese four herb soup, the shop offers a shaved ice flavor that combines five different herbs. Its unique taste has attracted many customers over the years.

Rolling the dough with their hands, a chef uses their fingers to slice it into small tangyuan, or sticky rice balls, which go directly into a boiling pot.

The rice balls are served in a bowl of warm red bean soup to complete this sweet dessert. But this restaurant is known for more than just this dish.

This time, the chef puts mung beans, malva nut, lily bulbs, millet, and agar jelly into a bowl and tops it with shaved ice, creating a dessert with traditional Chinese herbs.

As Chinese herbs are usually used in savory soups, this unique dessert has attracted many customers.

Trying herbal treats
Today I got the four herbs shaved ice. I think the decor is pretty unique. It feels retro to enjoy dessert on the sidewalk.

This dessert shop has been running for over 100 years and has been passed down through three generations. It still uses the original furniture, traditional syrup pots, and trusted techniques.

Makes herbal treats
The first generation’s photo is over there, and the second generation’s is behind it. I’m the third generation. It’s hard inheriting a business. It’s exhausting, and you have to follow each step. You can’t cut corners, or longtime customers will notice the difference the moment they taste it.

The flavors here at this dessert shop have been consistent for over 100 years. Its unique four herb shaved ice is nutritious, delicious, and a favorite of many longtime customers.
