Chhoah-peng (Taiwanese Hokkien: 礤冰 or 剉冰; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: chhoah-peng)[1] or Tsua bing, also known as Baobing (Chinese: 刨冰; pinyin: bàobīng) in Mandarin, is a shaved ice dessert introduced to Taiwan under Japanese rule,[2] and then spread from Taiwan to Greater China and countries with large regional Overseas Chinese populations such as Malaysia and Singapore.[3][4][5] It is especially popular in Taiwan where the dish has a variation called xuehua bing (雪花冰), in which the ice is not made out of water but milk.[citation needed]
The dessert consists of a large mound of ice shavings with various toppings on top. A wide variety of toppings exist, but the most common ones include sugar water, condensed milk, adzuki beans, mung beans, and tapioca balls. Fruit are also used according to the season.[6] Mango baobing is typically only available in the summer, while strawberry baobing is available in the winter. Traditionally, these shavings were created by hand using a large mallet to crush ice or a blade to shave ice. Now, most stores use machines, which result in finer, thinner ice shavings.[citation needed]
