TrueDan Brown Sugar Bubble Milk Ice Cream Bar Review

 

Fro-yo girl here. Truedan is a Taiwanese boba chain that was established in Taipei’s Shinlin Night Market in 2010. According to their website, they now have over 100 locations in 12 regions. I know they opened a shop in Daly City (Northern California) but they don’t seem to have a location in Southern California yet. They’re famous for their brown sugar bubble milk drink which contains no tea.

In late 2019, Truedan launched a line of bubble milk ice cream that included a brown sugar bubble milk ice cream cone and mochi ice cream in Taiwan. The cones were widely talked about and sold out quickly. The products arrived in Singapore around March 2020 and now they’re in the the US. At some point, they introduced a popsicle/ice bar version.

I found the brown sugar bubble milk ice cream bars at H Mart in Arcadia for $8.99/box (regular price). One box has four individually wrapped 80g bars. The bars are imported from Taiwan. There were only two boxes left at H Mart, so it seems popular. They didn’t have the brown sugar bubble milk ice cream cones or mochi ice cream with boba.

Brown Sugar Bubble Milk Ice Cream Bar: The bar smelled like brown sugar and had brown sugar swirls throughout. The texture was firm with an icier exterior shell and a creamier interior. It had a stronger milky flavor than comparable brown sugar boba ice cream bars. It was also not as creamy as some of the other brown sugar boba ice cream bars. The boba balls were soft and chewy. I found the bar to be less flavorful and definitely icier than other brands. One bar is 131 calories, 4.6g fats, 21.8g carbohydrates, and 14.4g sugars.

3.5 out of 5 stars.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
