Mango Snow Ice

This snow ice dessert that you can find it at Chinatown Mei Heong Yuen Dessert.

Snow ice is made by mixing up ice cream, essentially, then freezing it into very hard cylindrical blocks. These blocks are then loaded into a special machine that spins the cylinder and shaves off the bottom layer of ice cream in tissue paper thin ribbons. A server holds a plate under the machine catching and arranging the folds of ice cream as they fall. Traditional shaved ice is made by grinding ice, then flavoring it with fruit syrups or condensed milk, snow ice starts out closer to ice cream.

Flavorings such as green tea or chocolate are mixed into a base of milk and water, then frozen into cylindrical blocks that look like giant candles. Durian snow ice with durian puree, mocha snow ice paired with red beans and chendol snow ice topped with candied red beans, green jelly and doused in gula melaka sauce.

They have a lot of different snow ice flavors like manga, green tea, durian, soursop, sesame, almond, strawberry, mocha, chocolate, peanut, lime, lychee, watermelon & lychee, almond & sesame, chendol, banana choc, mango & strawberry, sweet corn.

I recommend this mango snow ice is because they slices it off in sheets and thin enough that they melt in your mouth, much like cotton candy and it is very delicious. It cost about $5 to $6.
