Ice Monster Mango Ice in Taipei 芒果冰 is real good!
Taiwan grows some of the best fruits in the world. Because of its rich soil and short distances, Taiwanese can enjoy the best bananas, melons, guavas, and mangoes that are fresh in season. One great refreshing snack that has come from this is the mango shaved ice.
The mango shaved ice is a bowl of shaved ice topped with fresh mangoes, mango ice cream, and sometimes a sweet mango sauce. The bowl looks huge but it’s mostly just ice. They are great shared and perfect on a hot summer day.
