Keelung City / Keelung Night Market — Shen Ji Bubble Ice
Established in 1976, Shen Ji Bubble Ice offers an exceptionally smooth and delicate texture, which is completely different from regular shaved ice. The secret to its success lies in the constant flipping of the ice shaving machine until the ice fills the bowl, along with hand-stirring using an iron spoon—this ensures all toppings are evenly mixed with the ice. There are over 20 flavors available for on-the-spot preparation, and during holidays when crowds are heavy, the shop offers quick options of their signature peanut (bean) and passion fruit.

Taipei City / Ningxia Night Market — Gan Ji Grass Jelly & Shaved Ice
Originally a street vendor in the night market, it now has its own storefront. In summer, they serve cold drinks and ice treats, and in winter, they offer sweet bean curd soup. No matter the weather, there’s always something suitable to enjoy. Their grass jelly is the signature dish, made from premium Guanxi grass jelly using traditional methods. The shaved ice toppings are all cooked in-house, with over 20 varieties including red beans, green beans, tapioca pearls, taro, and more, all drizzled with specially made brown sugar syrup—it’s both cooling and satisfying.

A fresh juice specialty store that’s been open for over 30 years. In winter, they serve hot desserts and juices, while in summer, their shaved ice is the hottest item. You can choose four toppings, and the owner puts plenty of each one—you’ll get your money’s worth and then some. Their mixed fruit juice is the signature drink, blending watermelon, guava, pineapple, cantaloupe, grapes, papaya, and cranberries for a healthy and tasty treat.

Taipei City / Gongguan Night Market — Longtan Tofu Pudding
Walking past Longtan Tofu Pudding, what catches your eye most is the shop’s simple and unassuming exterior. With bare-bones interiors, plain tables and chairs, and even just one flavor of tofu pudding—peanut tofu pudding—the shop’s dedication to perfecting this one item makes its return to authentic old-school tofu pudding flavor especially precious in this era of endless variety.
