As the sweltering summer arrives, besides enjoying regular ice treats, you simply must have a bowl of mango ice to truly beat the heat. Take a big bite of the cool, juicy mango — its sweet and tangy flavor is the epitome of summer delight. Below, we’ve specially compiled a list of eight of the most popular mango ice shops across Taiwan. The most unique one is Bing Shang Bin in Tainan, which makes special edible ice bowls out of mango. You can actually eat the entire bowl along with the mango ice — it’s super talk-worthy. This summer, come indulge to your heart’s content!
