If you arrive when ordering dessert you get this dish, you might find it a bit surprising because, apparently it is a meat dish. But it’s actually an ice cream called Wagyu Bingshu (literally translated as “cow ice cream”) and it’s the latest craze in China. This trompe l’oeil is a refreshing ice cream made with shaved ice, yogurt and frozen strawberry syrup with yogurt, which is what gives it that wagyu look.

It is homemade and, both its appearance and taste, will not leave you indifferent.
