Ximending 西門町

Or sometimes known as “Bitter Melon”

Located at Taipei’s Ximending, this fruit juice shop called “Lemon House 21” or 檸檬屋正宗苦瓜原汁 has been popular with tourists and locals alike.

The Bitter Gourd is supposed to pack several nutrients, has cancer-fighting properties, and can help reduce blood sugar.

I am not sure about a cup with honey added to it. With that said, the stall claims that there is no added sugar or water. Lady boss also further explained that the recipe will be tweaked depending on the season.

If you have previous qualms about having the Bitter Gourd, the cup is actually quite addictively refreshing and cooling, with mild sweetness and just a touch of the bitterness coming to the end.

Plump and juicy sausages grilled on the spot. Taste very different from the ones in Singapore, in a good way tho. 🤔

Izakaya bar and lots of nice bar food that matches beer very well. But it’s quite costly to dine here, similar to sg izakaya prices. I forgot the name of the bar but it’s near the multistory carpark beside Amba #jxeatstravel

i tried it in Sg and probably because the mango in Sg is super sour and the person who made it do not know how to make shaved ice, it sucks. lol tried this near the hotel i stay in Ximending and it’s surprisingly good. texture of the shaved ice was soft and melt instantly in ur mouth, so much nicer than Bingsu 😂 #jxeatstravel

Mango flavoured ice with milk. This is the best i've ever eaten. The ice was thinly layered with milk. Mango was sweet. Melts in your mouth almost instantly. Mango syrup definitely up the mango flavour.
