The Good Luck Ice Shop on Anle Road boasts a unique black sugar ice slab as its signature. Watching the owner pull out a large block of rapidly frozen ice slab, place it on the shaved ice machine, and in the blink of an eye, a plate of shaved ice drenched in fragrant caramelized black sugar is served before you. The texture of the shaved ice differs from the usual icy chunks you might eat; the grains are not as coarse, and there's no need to bite them apart. It sits between the silky delicacy of soft serve and the crispness of traditional shaved ice. Because the ice slab is made from black sugar, the shavings aren’t pure white; when you bite into them, you taste a faint hint of black sugar aroma mingling with the fine ice grains.
