Dream - Usually ice cubes are used to make cold drinks. However, in China, ice cubes are processed as grilled snacks sold on the roadside. Street food vendors in China have created a new sensation by cooking ice cubes on a grill. The ice cubes are grilled as if they were barbecued meat. In a circulating video, it can be seen that the vendor throws ice cubes onto a hot grill, then adds seasonings such as chili, cumin, green onions, and coriander.

A resident who tried grilled ice cubes admits it is difficult to describe the unique taste of the snack. Although the vendors claim that this snack is typical of Northeast China, the locals deny it. They call it a marketing trick. The locals who have lived in the area for a long time admit that they have never seen such a dish.

"\u201cThere are no grilled ice cube snacks in the northeast region. This is an engineering done by street vendors,\u201d he said. These grilled ice cubes are decorated with various spices and available in various shapes. Some consider it as the Chinese version of the TikTok food trend called "women's dinner", where users cook simple meals from leftover food."
