"Taiwan has a storied tradition of xiao chi, a variety of “little eats” doled out from street stalls and hole-in-the-wall restaurants all across the island. This particular dessert specialist, located on the food-laden Alley 216 in the city’s East District, has garnered a loyal following for its fen yuan, sweet treats made by mixing mashed taro or yam with sweet potato flour. This provides the coveted chewy Q texture beloved in Taiwanese desserts. A base of shaved ice supports your choice of toppings, anything from green and red bean, stewed peanuts and taro, gingko, aiyu (a refreshing jelly made from fig seeds), and of course, the crowd-favorite fen yuan.
