Snow Ice

This is the snow ice from Ang Mo Kio hub basement. The place is really a madhouse during weekends - it's as crowded as town, just tt the shops there are not as pricey.

Snow ice is this incredible dessert (one of my fave cheap-er cold desserts, apart from Mr Bean ice cream and those pushcart ice cream vendors) and it's really hard to find. There used to be one at Chompchomp and at Queensway, but they all closed down :(

Snow ice is like shaved ice, just that its milkey and flavoured, and doesn't have those sharp jagged edges like normal shaved ice. Really nice to eat and it is melt-in-the-mouth and cold and sweet.

This strawberry snow ice with fresh strawberry and syrup cost me $3.90, but they do a syrup topping one (no fresh fruits) for $2.90.
Another flavour that I really like is the Taiwanese Blackberry with milk ice - I really dunno what a taiwanese blackberry is, but it's this little pokey thing which looks a bit like blueberry but is more sourish. Yum!
