Shaved Ice Goodness | Snow Creme

When we were kids one of the things that makes us stop crying or just make us giddy is when there's ice cream or any cold dessert. Until now it works for a lot of people especially when the summer arrives or just a hot day, cooling off with a cold dessert calms us. Although the season now might still be cool, there's no stopping us from enjoying some shaved ice!

Snow Creme is the first to offer Taiwanese shaved ice and was established since 2013. You may think "isn't this just like Bingsu?", no because what sets them apart is they have their own special mix and you can customize your own dessert! So how did all this started? Snow Creme is the brain child of Bryan and Michelle after discovering what's new in the scene of Taipei's food choices. Since our weather is tropical, it's the perfect cool off snack for everyone. 

They currently have two branches, one in Maginhawa (where we went), and one in Banawe. You can easily find the location since it's just in front of the Barangay hall. Although there is no parking space, you can find one in the streets near.

Inside, you can see it's well lit and has a lot of tables to cater more customers. They have 2 tables for bigger groups, one near the entrance and the other near the counter. It's actually a chill place since it's quiet and I bet you can enjoy chatting with your friends.

Here's a framed photo of their whole menu! I think this is helpful too!

Here is the menu, you can see one above the counter, all of their shaved ice menu but they also have other offerings! For the milktea lovers out there they also have something for you. They have a wide variety of menu actually and not only desserts and drinks but they also offer snacks! So it's a great place to catch up with friends.

Now let's see their famous shaved Ice! The price range for Medium is from 110 - 140 and Large is 160 - 190.

CHEWY CHOCO CRUMBLE (M 140, L 190)

For the chocolate lovers you should try their Chewy Choco Crumble! It has the right amount of sweetness for a chocolate. The ice slowly melts in your mouth and you can enjoy the crumbs and other ingredients of this. It has chocolate ice, crushed cookies, caramel and chocolate drizzle and brownies. I liked it although the brownies we're a bit dry. By the way this is the medium sized serving. Two people can already share with it!

TAIWANESE SHAVED ICE (M 140, L 190)

If you're into milktea, like me, you will enjoy this! This is their famous Taiwanese Shaved Ice, their version of "Taiwanese Halo-Halo". At first bite of the shaved ice it already melts in your mouth and you can taste immediately that it's like a milktea. They used brown sugar ice and all of the toppings are hand-made with all-natural ingredients, no preservatives, coloring and flavoring. It consists of red beans, pearls, grass jelly, taro balls and sweet potato balls. The taro and sweet potato balls are actually chewy just like the pearls, which I like.

*RECOMMENDED

GOLDEN MANGO (M 130, L 180)

And lastly is the Golden Mango. Any mango dessert is a must try for me, and this one is a must try for you guys. It has mango flavored ice, mangoes, milk pudding and mango drizzle. You can taste the richness of the mango flavors in this bowl. The milk pudding balances all the mango flavors and the texture is just right.

*RECOMMENDED

You also have the option to create your own shaved ice mix by choosing a snow ice base, add fruits, toppings, and finally drizzle with your choice of syrup. I forgot to ask how much it costs but I think it's still in the range of their medium and large pricing.

There are a lot of stores out there who offers shaved ice but Snow Creme is one of the must try, if you opt to create your own this is the place you can go to. It's a great place to bond with your friends, do homework or just anything! If your down, stressed or just want to relax, Keep calm and eat Shaved Ice :)

OVERALL:
Food - The shaved ice are all great! Taste, flavor combinations are good and enjoyable.
Price - It's still in the same price range, plus the factor of hand-made ingredients and all good.
Serving - No problem with it.
Service - Ate at the counter was very helpful with all my questions :)
Ambiance - It's a chill place like I said, you can study here and bond with friends over dessert, snacks or coffee.
Parking - That's the only down side since it's Maginhawa you'll have slight inconvenience. We parked in front of Streat, since it's still close, but it's not that far so walking is ok.
