Some people may think this combination of ingredients sounds less than appetizing, but all I can say is “don’t knock it ’til you try it!” I was pleasantly surprised by the overall taste. This street food concoction is said to be an old Taiwan treat and can be at a food stall near the Huaxi Street (Snake Alley) Night Market. It’s basically a thin pancake with peanut brittle shavings and 3 scoops of ice cream (peanut, taro, and pineapple), topped with cilantro and then rolled up like a small burrito. The mix of flavors worked surprisingly well together and I’d highly recommend trying this Taiwanese specialty if you are touring a night market on your visit to Taiwan.

YUM! Sounds delicious, actually! Can’t wait to try it!
I was skeptical the first time, too, but that is one of my favorite “only in Taiwan” treats.
