Mochi covered with peanut powder + Taro + Red Beans Shaved Ice Dessert [2019 Rapsa Edition]

Delicious mochi covered with powdered peanut brittle, red beans plus taro.  Put them together on top of shaved ice, add condensed milk and you a have summer dessert that will surely beat the heat in Taipei.

You can eat the mysterious food along the historic Futai Street of Taipei. Hungry visitors can find the store by walking from Exit Z10 of Taipei Main Station.  Turn left once you reached the Postal Office or the North Gate.   You will find the dessert shop after walking for a few meters.  The store is also accessible via the MRT Beimen Station.

Meet Desserts is the English name of the store

The restaurant is not air-conditioned. So if you are expecting to get a relief from the sun, then you might get disappointed. I suggests going at 6:00 pm but not after 8:30 pm when the shop is about to close.  I went here at 7:30 pm and I was immediately served with my order because there were a few customers.

The store has a menu with photos of the food with its English descriptions, making it easy for foreigners to order.  To make my life easier, I showed to the staff, the picture of the dessert (through my smartphone) that I wanted to eat.  They immediately got what I was looking for, the mysterious dessert with three toppings.

I watched closely how the dessert was made.  First, the soft mochi (which has been covered with powdered peanut brittle) was placed on top of the ice.   It will be followed with taro and finally, the red beans.  To make it more dramatic, the staff will add more peanut to cover the soft mochi balls, plus a splash of condensed milk to make your dessert unforgettable.

While the condensed milk started to flow on the toppings, like an oozing lava coming out from a volcano, I tried to take a bite of the mochi.  It tasted really great! Superb! It was so perfect.  

Underneath the mochi, taro and red beans is a special shaved ice

And when I scooped the white ice, I got surprised of its taste.  It was no ordinary shaved ice that you will find in night markets in Taiwan.  It was creamy and probably mixed with condensed milk.   The mochi with peanuts was the one I enjoyed the most.  Eating the taro will make your stomach full, as if you have eaten a full meal.  Overall, I will give this Taiwanese dessert a perfect 5 out of 5 on my rating system.
