Shunji Coconut Ice Cream

Shunji Coconut Ice Cream

　　　The coconut ice cream made at Shunji Ice Room, located at No. 79 Baohua Road, Liwan District, is a renowned historical specialty snack from Xiguan. It was first created in the 1920s by street vendor Lü Shun, who used thick and firm coconut flesh as the main ingredient. The flesh was processed into fresh coconut shreds, then squeezed into coconut juice, and finally combined with fresh water buffalo milk, eggs, and white sugar. Its unique preparation method makes the ice cream exceptionally soft, smooth, and delicious, with a rich coconut flavor and distinctive taste. In the 1950s and 1960s, it was even tasted and highly praised by foreign dignitaries and VIPs such as Prince Norodom Sihanouk of Cambodia. Since 1956, it has consistently won the title of “Guangzhou Famous Food” in various evaluations.
