01
This “Xin” carries a family’s love
Hei Xin Tang began with the owner’s love for the pure simplicity of shaved ice. On a hot day, a simple bowl cools you down and brings back the happiness of enjoying this traditional treat as a child.
The name combines the shop’s signature brown sugar—hei tang—with the sound “xin” found in the owner’s son’s name. What may sound playful is really a name filled with family affection.
2 monthsof repeated tasting and fine-tuning
02
Two months to get the starch jelly just right
To make a brown-sugar starch jelly that most customers would enjoy, the shop spent about two months tasting batches and adjusting the ratios. It must be stirred continuously: too much heat makes it hard, while a moment without attention can scorch it. Its soft, springy texture and brown-sugar aroma are the result of repeated trials.
03
Beside an old residence, taste the joy of childhood again
Store No. 6 was chosen because Railway Village retains the atmosphere of an early military dependents’ village and its old residences. Eating traditional shaved ice beside the small courtyard feels like returning to the simple happiness of childhood.
At Railway Village, you are tasting more than shaved ice—you are finding the simple joy of childhood again.
What to eat here
The signature is brown-sugar starch-jelly mixed shaved ice, pairing aromatic brown sugar with the shop’s house-made starch jelly. Other combinations include rice noodles, grass jelly, red beans and mung beans, plus tofu pudding, grass-jelly milk dessert and sweet soups. Seasonal oden varies by day.
