Hsing Fa Ting Honey Bean Ice - Beiping Branch Introduction
In 1938, the earliest "Mitsumame" (蜜豆冰) was operated by Mr. Chen Xi, a resident of Longjing District, who sold it on the streets next to Taichung Railway Station using a pushcart. At that time, the Mitsumame was inspired by the Japanese "Shikuwari" ice and was made with more than ten types of ingredients. Around 1943, it entered the First Market and finally established a small stall named "Xinfa Pavilion" (辛發亭). After a major fire, the Xinfa Pavilion was fortunate that only the sign and a small part of the shop were damaged, so after the fire, it was renamed "Xingfa Pavilion" (幸發亭) to transform misfortune into good luck. The rich ingredients of the Mitsumame ice became a cherished taste among many students, soldiers, and residents of Taichung. In recent years, new products have been developed, such as shaved ice, handmade tofu pudding, and soft grass jelly. With decades of dedication to genuine and heartfelt management principles, the business is now run by the third generation, continuing to pass on this nostalgic wonderful flavor. Recommended menu: Signature Mitsumame, Red Bean Milk Ice, Mango Ice, various types of shaved ice.
