1 Seven Must-See Shops

First: Sweet and Sour Strawberry Milkshake

The first was this tart strawberry milkshake.

The boss said that there are 16 strawberries in this bag of milkshake, and unlike other milkshakes, this one is made directly from frozen strawberries, so it can be cold without ice, and the ice won't melt and dilute the milkshake at the end like other milkshakes.
When you drink it, you can still eat the strawberry pulp Zun's very good.

Second: Eel Rice Balls

After you finish your appetizer, come and have this eel rice ball.
The eel is marinated in a secret sauce and slowly grilled over charcoal, making it tender and juicy.
The unique flavor of eel is in every bite.
With the charred flavor of the toasted rice balls, it is a perfect blend of texture and richness!

The Third: Super-hot Pineapple Bread

The third place we visited was the super popular Pineapple Bread.

Pineapple bun with ice cream is a perfect match! The outside is crispy pineapple bun, and once you bite into it, the ice cream inside is ice-cold and super cool, relieving the summer heat.
There are many flavors of ice cream to choose from, and I chose Cookies & Cream this time. The smoothness of the cream and the crunchiness of the pineapple buns combined with the cookie pieces inside make every bite sweet and happy!

Family 4: Giant Octopus Senbei

The fourth is this giant octopus shell that is bigger than your face.
The size is really super exaggerated! It's a great return.
One bite of the crispy scallop has a superb texture and is so crunchy that you can't stop eating it.
The crunchy scallops with a slight salty flavor really makes you take one bite after another, definitely the best choice for eating on the go!
In the end, I couldn't eat it and shared it with the pigeon brothers.
