Hsing Fa Pavilion Shaved Ice - Beiping Branch Introduction
In 1938, the earliest honey bean ice (Mitsumame) was sold by Mr. Chen Xi from Longjing District, who operated a pushcart along the streets next to Taichung Railway Station. At that time, honey bean ice was inspired by Japan's Shikuwasa ice and made with more than a dozen ingredients. Around 1943, it moved into the First Market and finally had a small stall, which was named “Xin Fatting.” In a fire, Xin Fatting was lucky to only have its sign and a small part of the store damaged, so after the fire, it was renamed “Xing Fatting,” hoping to turn past bitterness into fortune. The rich ingredients of honey bean ice are fondly remembered by many students, soldiers, and Taichung residents from that era. In recent years, new products have been developed, such as shaved ice, handmade tofu pudding, and soft grass jelly. For decades, the business has adhered to a philosophy of genuine and dedicated operation, and it is currently run by the third generation, continuing the legacy of this nostalgic and wonderful flavor. Recommended menu: Signature honey bean ice, red bean milk ice, mango ice, various types of shaved ice.
