Jack's Ice Cream

Jack Bauer . . . The Ice Cream man!

Jack is a super sweetheart that we were lucky to meet during our first week here in Taiwan. He speaks really great English, just learning it from people like us who come to visit him. He takes such good care of us, introducing us to some of the most interesting Ice Cream flavors you would never imagine. He makes all of his ice cream in his shop from all natural ingredients. I have never had an ice cream flavor, or anything flavored as matter of fact, that has tasted anything like the flavor it is trying to resemble. For a few examples, he has apple (which has become many of our favorites) that tastes exactly like a fresh apple, but in the form of ice cream, it is the greatest thing ever. He recently experimented with creating a tomato flavor, which I am not a huge fan of tomatoes to be honest, but its Jack, so I was going to give it a shot. It was way better than anyone would have ever expected. Calpico (spelling?) is another one that has become our favorite. We always are trying new flavors here. Jack is so generous with his helpings, and additional goodies like the cone and chocolate sauce! He also has a rose flavor that literally tastes like you are smelling a flower, which sounds weird I know, but it is the best way I can describe it to you.

I don't know that we would have done without finding Jack's shop so early on in our trip. I can't imagine finding this place right before we leave, we would have been devastated. I am already not looking forward to returning home and missing this delicious treat. Ice cream was my favorite thing to eat at home, and it is so much better here between Jack's, sandwiches, and shaved ice. Ice cream will never be the same for me!

I am glad that we have a few more weeks to spend our nights visiting Jack, eating the est Ice Cream in the presence of good company.

If you'd be so kind, go give his Facebook page a like, he has truly made all of our day's a countless number of times with his generosity and smiles! https://www.facebook.com/JesseClaireIcecream/








Jack hard at work creating our master pieces. Tonight I ordered Calpico, Apple, and Vanilla. However we also got samples of Tomato and Sesame! On the bottom left, he was letting us see and smell the chocolate he used to make his chocolate ice cream. We had asked him what his favorite flavor was, and it was chocolate; but its not any ordinary chocolate that you are thinking of, its better!

Here we were helping Jack edit one of his translated Facebook postings for his Ice Cream shop as he releases a new exclusive flavor.

This is the menu of items that Jack offers at his place
