The Tainan Food Festival event highlights three main themes: “lightly blanched beef,” “milkfish,” and “ice cream parlors,” inviting the public to Tainan to enjoy gourmet delights. Among these, while lightly blanched beef and milkfish are unique, delicious breakfast options for locals, ice cream parlors are also cherished as nostalgic spots where many grandparents, parents, and even young couples had their first “interviews” or dates back in the day. Simply upload a relevant sweet photo during the Tainan Food Festival for a chance to win a prize.

Since the launch of the 2014 Tainan Food Festival’s ice cream parlor theme, it has stirred up memories of the 1950s and 60s for many. Ice cream parlor owners mentioned that running such an establishment is a joyful business — not only witnessing countless sweet moments shared by young couples but also often seeing elderly couples visiting. The Tainan Tourism Bureau noted that whether old or new shops, fruit platters, freshly blended juices, or various ice desserts and tofu puddings, all are abundantly available and widely renowned, and have not been replaced by fast food drinks. This enduring popularity is due to both tradition and timely innovation, which is why Tainan’s ice cream parlors remain so timeless and appealing.
