Smoothie House (思慕昔) Singapore: Taipei’s Famous Snow Ice Opens Flagship Store With 1-for-1 Offers

Smoothie House Singapore-1871

Are you longing for Taiwan’s most popular bowl of light, fluffy shaved ice in this crazy heat?

Having already appeased fans of Smoothie House at both the East and Central areas of Singapore, Westies can now satiate their sweet-tooth cravings at the chain’s new flagship store, situated at Westgate and opened in May 2016.

Known for it’s healthy, fruit-based toppings and ingredients, the original snowflake ice dessert chain at Yong Kang Street in Taipei serves up to 1,000 bowls of cold, sugary treats daily to both tourists and locals.

Here at Westgate at Jurong, the after lunch crowd were already flocking to the store on its first day of opening. Large photos of their desserts and signature dishes decorated the walls, enticing you to try everything on its menu as you make your way to your table.

The kitchen staffs, also known as ‘Ice Magicians’, churned out bowls of shaved ice that are playfully dressed up with chunky bits of fresh fruits and toppings, recreating the vibrant atmosphere and familiar taste of the desserts without having to fly to Taiwan.

These ice blocks are freshly imported from its Taiwan headquarters, and the Ice Magicians are trained in Taiwan to master the skill of shaving them into intricate layers through its customised machines. Each bowl is guaranteed of its original standards, and remains consistent with its snow-like texture.

Mango Snowflake Ice with Panna Cotta (Sharing Size, $9.90). A hot favourite among goers, the mango shaved ice is covered in juicy bite-sized chunks of mangoes that are precisely sliced into 1.5cm to 2cm cubes.

It is topped with a milky panna cotta jelly, and drizzled over with condensed milk and a specially concocted fresh fruit mango sauce. A classic, go-to bowl for a refreshing perk-me-up.

Tie Guan Yin Jelly Milky Snowflake Ice (Sharing Size, $9.90). Another popular flavour is this rich milk shaved iced with tie guan yin jelly, served with a side of soft chewy mixed pearls and a mini portion of black sugar syrup. To my surprise, the tie guan yin jelly pleasantly jolted my senses with its aromatic fragrance, which complemented well with all the other ingredients.

Yogurt Berry Snowflake Ice (Sharing Size, $9.90). My personal favourite out of the three flavours, this super healthy bowl will get into the good books of people who are calorie conscious. It is made of yogurt shaved ice, topped with sliced bananas, blueberries, strawberries, and tiny bits of mochi, drizzled with sumptuous mulberry sauce.

The different toppings created an interesting play of texture, and the sweetness from the bananas and sour hints from the berries made it thoroughly enjoyable on the palate.

The snowflake ice comes in three different sizes; a Healthy Size priced at $7.90, Sharing Size at $9.90, and a Family Size at $15.90.

Smoothie House has plans of expanding their menu with other waffle inventions in the line up. In the meantime, customers can enjoy other lighter selections of smoothies, ice blended or fresh fruit teas, and savoury items like their burger sets.

While I’ve not too sure about waffles or food, the snow ice bowl is indeed smooth and worthy of its famed reputation in Taipei.
