Shenyang Imperial Palace Museum Zhenghongqi Armor Popsicle Review

Fro-yo girl here. I was excited to find Shenyang Imperial Palace Museum pops/ice bars imported from China, for sale at Good Fortune Supermarket in Alhambra. They’re sold individually for $2.99/popsicle or by the box. A box contains 3 individually wrapped popsicles.

I purchased the Zhenghongqi Armor popsicle. The packaging is in Chinese. It says, “Shenyang Forbidden City Zhenghongqi Armor Succulent Berry Ice Cream.” The wooden popsicle stick says Shenyang Forbidden City. There’s a long story about the history of the armor on the back of the package. The armor is from the Eight Banners, the military organization of the Manchu.

Each popsicle is 72g and is made with milk, cream, and strawberries. The popsicle looked just like the picture on the package. I liked the flavor. The ice cream was creamy but with an icy edge and I could see some strawberry bits. The strawberry was blended throughout the pop. It tasted natural and not too sweet. It’s not as refreshing as a popsicle with less dairy, but it’s more satisfying. I’d like a little more strawberry flavor.

The Shenyang Imperial Place in Shenyang City is the only other royal palace in China (the other royal place is the one in Beijing’s Forbidden City). It was built in 1625 by the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

4.5 out of 5 stars.
