Iced Grass Jelly

Iced Grass Jelly

　　Iced Grass Jelly is a famous specialty of Qishan. Located at the intersection of Zhongshan Road and Huazhong Street, “Iced Grass Jelly City” was established in 1926 and is Taiwan’s oldest Iced Grass Jelly shop. The Iced Grass Jelly here is soft and chewy, with a fine, firm, and evenly-textured ice that doesn’t crumble when bitten. It has multiple branches in Tainan, Kaohsiung, and other areas. Today, Iced Grass Jelly City offers more than just Iced Grass Jelly, having diversified its offerings to include sundaes, banana splits, and other prepared frozen desserts. Common ice cream flavors also come in a variety of options such as red bean, taro, and peanut milk. There’s even a less common type called “spring roll ice,” which wraps taro ice, peanut powder, and cilantro inside a spring roll skin, creating a uniquely flavorful treat.
