我好像很久沒寫台北市區內的冰淇淋店，為了能夠挖掘沒寫過的冰淇淋店冰淇淋越吃越遠。不過，多虧好心讀者的推薦，我最近發現了敦南商圈有一家還在等待我發現的隱藏冰淇淋寶藏⌈北門鳳梨冰⌋，這家店對我來說很有特色，令我很興奮!
It’s been a while since I wrote about a place in central Taipei – lately it seems I have to go further and further afield to find new ice cream shops to write about. However, thanks to a tip-off from a reader, I’ve found a hidden gem in the middle of DunNan shopping district that I’m really excited about: Beimen Pineapple Ice! Continue reading
我最近去迪化街買東西時，偶然Google到了一家叫做「船來芋冰雪淇淋」的冰淇淋店。這間店我從來沒有聽說過，根據官網簡介總店位於宜蘭，台北門市只是分店而已，知名度很低，好像還沒有得到它應得的名聲。這就是那種”好到讓人不敢相信”的店，會讓你想知道為甚麼沒有一大堆客人大排長龍。我上網看看他們的營業理念以後，覺得很值得支持:
I found the oddly-named Boat Come Taro Ice on a random Google Maps scan of the neighbourhood when I was shopping on Dihua Street the other day. I’d never heard of the place before – the main branch is in Yilan, apparently. The Taipei branch keeps a low profile and doesn’t seem to have developed the cult following it deserves. This is one of those legit “too good to be true” places where you wonder why people aren’t lined up down the block. They have a pretty solid company message: Continue reading
我最近開始擔心台北市內的冰淇淋店都吃過了，非得遠遠離開台北去採訪在地冰淇淋店，正好碰巧發現了通化夜市裡藏有一家專賣手工冰淇淋的小攤子！（我幾個月前發生了一樣的事情，發現了我家旁邊的樂華夜市裡就有台北最好吃的手工霜淇淋店之一！）
Just when I started to worry I was going to have to go further afield to find local ice cream makers to write about, I stumbled across one in an unexpected place: Tonghua Night Market. (The same thing happened to me a few months ago when I realized LeHua Night Market, next door to my house, had a fabulous handmade soft-serve stand!)
隱藏在松山區靠近市民大道被遺忘角落的「來特手工鮮果冰淇淋」是一家不可能偶然遇到的店。周圍地段只有二手家具店跟車行，不是逛街的地區，所以這家小小的店非得特意找才能找到。「來特」這麼不好找會讓人懷疑他們躲著顧客!只因為有一次遇見他們的冰淇淋車的緣分我才知道萊特冰淇淋的存在，當時剛好賣完了冰淇淋正收拾中，所以沒有吃到。我就是因為要寫這個部落格才堅持尋找這麼不好找的店! 但我對結果感到十分滿意，因為找到了萊特冰淇淋以後我發現了它就是我所要寫的目標，一家充滿土生土長台灣風味的，很草根性的家族生意。來特冰淇淋不光提供好吃的手工冰淇淋，也提供一個冰淇淋故事。
Right Ice Cream is one of those places you will never, ever find if you don’t go looking for it. Tucked away in a back alley just off the Civic Boulevard highway, in a forgotten corner of Songhan district that seems to be mostly junk stores and auto shops, it’s not only nearly invisible – it seems absurdly out of place. One almost wonders if they’re hiding from customers! If it weren’t for their ice cream cart, which they occasionally wheel out to more visible areas, I’d never have heard of it at all. It was only by chance that I spotted the cart near Ningxia Night Market one night, just after they’d sold their last scoop and packed up for the day, and if it weren’t for this blog, I doubt I’d have bothered to follow up and come all the way out here to find the shop. But I’m glad I did. Right Ice Cream turned out to be a real gem – a grassroots, made-in-Taiwan family business. Exactly the kind of place this blog is dedicated to. You don’t just go to Right for an ice cream – you go there for ice cream and a story. Continue reading
更新! 我們最愛的雪王冰淇淋重新開店了，現在在原址二樓，已經開始營業了。新面貌，冰淇淋依然獨特美味！
Update! Our beloved Snow King has reopened – the location is the same, but the shop now operates out of the second floor. The look is new but the unique and delicious ice cream remains the same!
成立於1947年的雪王冰淇淋，可能是台灣最有特色的冰淇淋專賣店之一。散發著濃濃懷念氣氛的店面，店內的老舊桌椅和店外的手畫牌子好像從來沒有變過，一直保持40年代的經典風格。我很喜歡雪王的簡單和復古，尤其喜歡他們超好吃的、有超獨特的冰淇淋！
Operating since 1947, the famous Snow King Ice Cream must be one of Taiwan’s most distinctive ice cream shops. The vintage storefront creates a nostalgic atmosphere, with plain metal tables, old wooden stools, and a hand-painted signboard that make you feel like the place hasn’t changed since the 40’s. It feels like a Taiwanese version of the classic American soda shop.
While walking near my apartment, I stumbled across this really cool old-school Taiwanese “babu”* ice cream shop, He Mei Ice Treat House. He Mei is over 60 years old; originally established in 1948, the shop oozes vintage flavour. Along with ice cream, He Mei also sells house-made biscuits and other traditional Taiwanese snacks. It’s delicious and cheap, and it’s only five minutes from my house – I feel so lucky!
在家附近去散步，碰巧發現了這家很棒的台灣古早味叭噗冰淇淋店，和美冰果室。和美是一家60多年歷史的老店，1948年建立的，充滿復古風味。除了冰淇淋以外還有賣自製麻粩及其他的台灣傳統小吃。又好吃又便宜，離我家不到五分鐘，我感覺自己很幸運！
