2. Changhua – Pasbu Creative Ice Cream
Located in Yuanlin, Pasbu Creative Ice Cream is quite famous locally. All the ice cream served here is homemade. Their signature item is the cantaloupe snowflake ice, where half a cantaloupe is filled with snowflake ice of the same flavor, along with diced fruit flesh shaped into little balls—bursting with melon flavor. Paired with sweet, snowy ice mountains, the shop also gets creative by using uniquely shaped mini shovels as spoons. It's fun and delicious, almost like shoveling ice.
