Melt Alpine AVIC City 融酥作山 中航城店 (Shenzhen, CHINA) ★★★☆☆

There’s nothing quite like a relaxing oil massage after a sweaty hour of pickleball—especially when you’ve managed to play hard and somehow still look like you’ve been through a battle. Our session was near Huaqiang North (華強北), so naturally we headed to AVIC City (中航城) for post-game recovery — cuz what better way to unwind than pairing sore muscles with the ultimate shopping-complex wander? 😆😆

The oil massage was exactly what the doctor ordered. Warm, soothing, and weirdly satisfying in that “okay, I can breathe again” kind of way. And just as we were settling into that blissful recovery mode, we stumbled upon Melt Alpine (融酥作山) right across from the massage place — it was either fate, or just excellent timing.

Sea salt cheese soft serve (海鹽芝士冰淇淋) — This was delightfully refreshing with a perfect balance of savory and sweet. Most importantly, it wasn’t as cheesy as I first feared. In fact, it tasted lighter, cleaner, and way more enjoyable than I expected.

This is definitely a spot I’ll be revisiting.
