Trivia
[For Women] Topping customization is free at Taiwan drink/Douhua stands. Avoiding high-carb/calorie boba (Zhenzhu) or taro balls (Yuyuan) and choosing 'Yanmai (Oatmeal)' is common sense for health-conscious Taiwan girls. The ultimate 'edible supplement sweet' providing soy protein and fiber.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] In summer, freeze syrup into 'shaved ice (Cuobing)', placing it over Douhua and oatmeal to enjoy a crisp/fluffy/popping trio!
