This ice is quite unusual — “Oyster Snowflake Ice” is so unique that being able to eat half a bowl is already impressive.

He has always wanted more travelers to see the beauty of his hometown. He explained that he thought long and hard before deciding to try making an ice dessert with pearl oysters. “At least it gets seen,” he said earnestly.

There’s an unbelievable ice shop in Wanggong, Changhua, where fresh oysters are laid atop golden snowflake ice, surrounded by sprigs of asparagus. Can you actually eat this kind of ice? Will it burn your mouth? At the time, I just thought the owner was humorous and quirky — as for actually trying the ice, I hadn’t really considered it.

The “King’s Oyster Ocean Ice Art Gallery,” located in Wanggong, Changhua, is where this unusual ice dessert was created. By the time I visited, it was past dinner time, and on a non-holiday evening, there wasn’t a single customer in the shop. When I opened the menu, photos of various oddly combined ice desserts caught my eye, accompanied by descriptions that went on for several pages.

Dubbed the “Signature Treasure” is the “Mullet Roe Snowflake Ice.” The shop owner, Zhuang Beibei, writes in the menu: “This product is meticulously made with wild mullet roe, sun-dried under the natural northeast monsoon. It has a smooth texture and rich aroma. When paired with fruit-flavored snowflake ice, the fragrance of the mullet roe and the freshness of the fruit intertwine in your mouth like an epic symphony of mountain and sea.”

  1. The name “King’s Oyster” is quite bold.
  2. The shop was completely empty during my visit, with no other customers around.
