"This Taiwanese import specializes in soupy desserts — served hot or cold — featuring purple rice, red beans, taro balls, and grass jelly. However, the real crowd pleaser might be the bao bing a.k.a. Taiwanese shaved ice. For an over-the-top treat, try a version which smothers the icy pile with almond pudding, chewy melon jelly, and mochi, crowned with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream." - Krista Garcia
