The weather lately has been scorching hot! Grabbing an ice pop right now is definitely the most soothing treat～ This time we got our hands on the highly recommended “台電大林冰棒” online. Its price is incredibly friendly, special offer: 7 sticks for just 100 yuan, and get one free when you spend 200 yuan! Much cheaper than those at PX Mart or regular stores. Especially if you have a big family and go through ice pops quickly, this is a fantastic choice for cooling off while saving money!
This time we visited the 台電大林冰棒 San Duo Branch, located on San Duo Road near Dream Mall in Kaohsiung. You can easily spot the eye-catching big red sign while driving or riding by!
Stepping inside, the decor is quite simple and unpretentious, with neatly arranged freezers filled with various flavors of ice pops—making you want to try every single one.
There’s a decent variety of flavors here, covering almost all the classic Taiwanese traditional favorites:
This time we picked 15 flavors we liked all at once, including: Peanut, Red Bean, Taro, Milk, Passion Fruit, Mung Bean, and Chocolate. The packaging follows a very simple, traditional style.
While these ice pops aren’t particularly surprising, they win with their “simple taste and pure icy aroma,” without the heavy feel of too many artificial additives. Because of that, they actually carry an extra sense of retro simplicity.
