Snow King Ice Cream, a long-established favorite, has been serving customers for 68 years since 1947. After years of experimentation by the owner, the shop offers over 70 flavors of ice cream, the most in Taiwan. Its most unique offerings include unexpected savory and boozy flavors such as sesame oil chicken, basil, pig’s trotter, brandy, and kaoliang. The owner insists on using authentic ingredients and making the ice cream in-house. Though slightly pricier than typical options, these inventive and tasty treats remain beloved by locals and adventurous eaters alike. It's now reported that Snow King will close its current location on July 20 due to lease expiration, but the team is actively looking for a new site to continue the legacy.
