Shaved ice or 팥빙수 is one of my favourite desserts. There has been a plethora of shops offering them in Vancouver and I decided to check out Passion8 upon missvancouverpiggy‘s recommendation.
I went here with Q on a nice April afternoon.
What we ate: Matchacha – Japanese matcha powder, mochi with red bean on snow shaved ice ($8.50)
The snow ice was so fluffy! I loved that they had little cheesecake pieces on this as well. The matcha flavour was good and I didn’t find the dessert too sweet.
What we ate: Mango Bongo – fresh sliced mango with homemade cheesecake and ice cream on snow shaved ice ($11.00)
This was Q’s pick and it was super sweet (from the mango)! The mango was very fresh and like the Matchacha the snow ice was super fluffy. Q wished that they had more mango in the middle of the ice, but overall she enjoyed it!
Would I come back? Yes! I need to try the Tiramisu flavour!
