The expressionless yet intricately contoured Moai statues, with their exotic charm, somehow possess a soothing power. Though the real Moai on Easter Island are not exactly within easy reach, Taiwan’s diverse array of ice treats and egg cakes definitely feature Moai-inspired designs—perfect for cooling off, satisfying your sweet tooth, and lifting your spirits.

Hutouhuang
Located near the Tucheng Asia Eastern Hospital MRT station, this quaint little shop exudes an old-school vibe. With honest pricing, generous toppings, and vibrant colors, its Moai fruit ice is especially popular—bursting with seasonal fresh fruits paired with Moai-shaped ice, you can actually taste the fruit bits, making it cool, refreshing, and utterly satisfying.

Seating is limited, but the ingredients are plentiful. Seasonal limited-edition ice treats pop up from time to time, and the shop sometimes customizes flavors slightly based on customer preferences—ideal for a quick stop to enjoy a bowl of ice that cools and quenches.
