Pashih Mesona

Popular Taiwanese dessert chain Pashih Mesona is best known for its grass jelly, which is made by boiling aged dried mesona leaves for eight hours, then chilling until the liquid is gelatinised. Pahshih's grass jelly can be enjoyed in refreshing drinks like mashed taro milk and sago ($420) as well as mango and pomelo with mini rice balls ($42); or savoured in hot sweet soups such as hot grass jelly with taro balls and sweet potato balls ($45). If you're in the mood for something icy, this dessert chain also offers mountain-high piles of shaved grass jelly ice which can be paired with toppings like ice cream, chopped mango, red beans, and a generous drizzle of either milk, taro, or hojicha sauce.
