Chinese Shaved Ice Dessert-$5 "The Most Unforgettable Flavor"

Baobing (Chinese: 刨冰), also called tsua-bing (Chinese: 剉冰; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: chhoah-peng in Taiwanese Hokkien), is a Chinese shaved ice dessert very common in China, Taiwan, Malaysia, and Vietnam. It is especially popular during the summer. Baobing was eaten in China as early as the seventh century A.D.

No one can resist Baobing. To create the dessert, a large mound of ice shavings are first placed on a plate. Then a special machine is used, resulting in ice-shavings. Once you have a bowl of shaved ice, you can start to put the ingredient and the sauce onto the shaved ice. My favorite is red bean with condensed milk. The shaved ice is so thin that it will melt right away once you put the ice in your mouth.  I also love mango shaved ice during summer. The sour mango with sweet condensed milk and the shaved ice is a perfect match!

Though there's a lot of ice cream shops in New York, sometimes I just miss the flavor of Baobing. Luckily, I got to find this place in Flushing!
