The temperature in the south is high, and there is little need for chilled food. Therefore, fried ice has not been widely promoted and popularized in the south, and the catering culture and taste in the south are different from those in the north, and the south pays more attention to light and healthy eating methods.

Stir-fried ice, also known as fried ice fruit, is a common cold drink in hot summer. The "stir-fried" in its name is not the concept of heating, but the more it is fried, the colder it gets. Sugar water, a snack originated in Hong Kong, is very popular in Hong Kong, but it is not common in southern Chinese mainland.
