Jellies that look so delicious to eat. I imagine putting them into my mouth to find out what do they taste like. My quest for this Taiwanese dessert prompted me to open again the "Rapsa Edition" Travel Series. The luomujie blog will search once again, the best tasting summer coolers in Taipei and my first stop: Right Ice Cream store.
Yes, you read it right. The English name of the store is Right Ice Cream with its Chinese name as 來特冰淇淋 which means "special ice cream". I would say that this dessert shop is unassuming. It's not the typical Taiwanese store with lots of customers. I visited on a weekday night, so that could be the reason.
Feeling confused because of the look of the place, I talked to someone, which I infer as the owner of the store. He spoke good English, answering my question if they are offering a jelly kind of dessert. And he said yes.

The start jelly ice cost NTD 80 and I wasn't expecting anything about it. I was more curious if the cubes are so soft that they can wiggle on a tiny fork. Haha! Being made from starch, they tasted like the tapioca pearls of your favorite bubble tea in Taiwan.
Adding more flavor to the food is the tiny cup of beans which I also loved. The large wooden spoon made it easy for me to scoop them.
The jellies are not that sweet and just right enough to be enjoyed. But what I noticed about the preparation of the cubes, was that it was kept secret, hidden on the other side of the curtains covering the kitchen. I only saw how the ice was scooped into a cup and what happens next. I don't know! The cup of ice was brought inside the kitchen and after a few minutes. My tray of food was lay on the table in front of me. I grabbed the wooden spoon and the rest was history!
