THE passion for an iced dessert, definitely a best seller in summer, is as hot as the sweaty weather. They help provide relief from the incessant dog-day heat, whether in the form of an ice cream or a bowl of water-ice.
Traditional iced desserts have gradually lost their appeal among modern young people who are always hunting for something new and exciting. However, there are several stores with special characteristics which meet the demand and provide everyone with cool and delicious options.
Baskin Robbins
The store is eye-catching, especially to girls, with its cute internal decoration in blue and pink.
There are five branches of the ice cream store in Shanghai, and this one at Wuzhong Road is the only outlet in Minhang District. There are 31 different flavors of ice cream in the store, providing a special taste for every day of the month. You can ask for a free taste of each flavor and get a waffle cone for 3 yuan (44 US cents). The ice cream is savory and tender but lemon water is also available if you feel the taste is too heavy.
You might not be familiar with many of the flavors that are quite Americanized if you seldom have ice cream, so vanilla, chocolate and green tea would be good choices for ice cream beginners.
Address: 1155, Wuzhong Road

Awfully Chocolate
Awfully Chocolate is a popular brand in Singapore and Taiwan that specializes in making chocolate cakes and ice creams. The store is specially designed in black and white.
It has no open showcase of the available products because the boss believes that the unstable temperatures in display refrigerators damage the taste and flavor of the cakes. Instead, they are kept in freezers where the temperatures are maintained at constant levels.
Chocolate cakes with original, banana and rum cherry flavors are offered at Awfully Chocolate. The store attaches great importance to authentic flavors and hand-made style.
"Dark" ice cream is highly recommended, as it is always popular, no matter what season.
The bittersweet taste, savory and melting sensation it generates are very refreshing for summer. Price is 25 yuan for one ice cream ball.

Jidong Taiwan Herbal Jelly
The herbal jelly mixed with milk, green tea or milk tea, with beans and Job's tears, tastes cool, tender and mild, with a Chinese herbal flavor. It is good for your health and helps cool you down in the dog days of summer. It costs 4 yuan for one cup.

Dong Qu Xiao Guan
The store sells Taiwan cuisine and snacks. Milkshakes, which are especially popular, have six flavors and cost between 22 yuan and 25 yuan.
