Lady-seller was the first stall. Offered us this 2-for-1-price discount so we tried this Taiwanese drink. Not too sweet. AiYu tasted like plain Ooh Kio Jelly of Singapore. Refreshing!

I asked for mine to be extra spicy. Lady-seller added Chilli powder but still not spicy enough. Fragrant BBQ sauce and Chilli plus chewy fishy taste of Squid.. Oh how I miss Taiwan!

Reminded me of Singapore’s Chin Chow – more syrupy, less herbal taste. Can skip this. Try the usual or special flavour Bubble Tea instead.
