It's no surprise that it's hot and humid in Taipei! And I mean humid; no amount of hairspray will keep a hairstyle in this humidity. So after numerous bad hair days, the only thing that can make things better is ice cream! (Ha; as if I really needed a excuse to get ice cream!)
(Flavor: chocolate with whiskey hazelnut)
And just like finding the best coffee shop hidden away, I've found a hole in the wall ice cream shop in the heart of Taipei.
8% Ice is a small ice cream/gelato shop that's located in the middle of Yong Kong Road. Placed at such a widely visited location, it surprises me that not that many people know about this hole in the wall. I suppose that's why it's a "hole in the wall".
Their menu isn't the largest but that only further proves to clients that they stick with what they know. With 15 or so flavors of gelato, all rich and flavorful, they also serve soft serve ice cream in 4 flavors.
Safe to say, it's more than easy to spend an entire afternoon there; sitting, eating, and relaxing at this quite and delectable spot.
Remember to check out their Facebook page! https://m.facebook.com/8.percent.ice?id=431833126884040&refsrc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com.tw%2F&_rdr
