Photo of the Week: Shaved Ice from Ice Monster in Taipei, Taiwan

This is the delicious mixed shaved ice with kiwi, strawberry, and mango chunks, topped with strawberry and mango sorbet. Sadly, Ice Monster has since closed in Taipei, leaving many of us shaved ice fans going through withdrawals. Gladly, Ice Monster has since reopened at a new location.
