So let’s step out of our comfort zones, forgo the mundane, well-defined fare and take some risks!
How long ago is 1000 years? Let’s just say that in the year 1010, the Holy Roman Empire was in its infancy, it was shortly after the time of the first samurai, and no one had ever heard of the idea of ordering food online. Meanwhile, in China, the Forbidden City wouldn’t be built for another 400 years, but according to Xie Xie, a monument to the ingenuity of pastry chefs had already been created:
Unlike previous items that we’ve demystified, the menu description gives you a basic sense of what you can expect, but with such a specific title, we’re looking for more. We already know that it’s one of the most popular items on the menu, so we want you to tell us what gives this ice cream sandwich that historical edge!
Order the ’1000 Year Old’ Ice Cream Sandwich from Xie Xie now and let us know all about it.

The 1000 year old ice cream sandwich is made to resemble the 1000 year old egg, which is an egg preserved for weeks or months and is commonly found in Chinese cuisine like congee. Through the preservation process, the yolk becomes a dark color. The 1000 year old ice cream sandwich features a dark caramel center. Very cute idea!
