[CLOSED] YiLi PaoPao Ice (Orchard)

This day, instead of focusing on myself, there are many people that I am thankful for. To my ever-supportive family and, awesome girlfriend and travel partner for putting up with my nonsense, thank you. To the numerous wish granters that I am honored to be friends with through the Make A Wish foundation, granting wishes together one child at a time, thank you. To Burpple for making me a Burpple Tastemaker and in the process, meeting and learning from many foodies, thank you. To my colleagues at work for the laughter and making work much more enjoyable, thank you. To my closest friends from Polytechnic and University, people who have gone crazy with me during my St Gallen exchange and venturing to unknown lands during my Shanghai internship, thank you. If I have missed out on anybody, I sincerely apologize but you are in my mind too!

Getting a cooling shaven ice dessert while avoiding the haze in the basement of #OrchardCentral.
YiLi PaoPao Ice hails from Taiwan (haha), and has over 60 years of history. I particularly like the smooth and velvety texture of the ice.

You can get two flavours for $4.95 while their specialty flavours go for $5.60 each with individual toppings ranging from $0.45-$0.95.

Andy is crafting my cup combi of peanut & kidney beans and milk & egg topped with Froot Loops and tamago boro!

Finally got a chance to try this, and I must say I really loved how balanced the flavours were. Without being overly and artificially sweet, both mango and strawberry flavours came out to have a nice blend of sweet and sour, which was a really refreshing end to the very heavy lunch we had.

Enjoyed this fruity combination more than the taro and milk & egg one I had the last time.

Their recommend flavors are Mango, Peanut & Kidney Beans and Strawberry.

Ordered Mango + Valentine Fruit / Strawberry + Peach

2 flavors / Cup 》$4.95

I wouldn't call it ice cream. It's consistency is somewhere in between shaved ice and sorbet. Anyhoo its really quite tasty.
It's light on the palette, refreshing, airy yet packs a punch, flavor wise.
The peanut flavor reminds me of the peanut filling in the pancake from Mr Bean(soybean place). Somehow they managed to make the peanut filling into a sorbet of sorts. Almost like a kids dream come true to turn random flavors into ice cream.
Monster licks and licks
