1. 1帕菲。台灣冰店也常說百匯,指高杯裡一層冰淇淋、一層水果的甜品,意思很接近。

    A parfait is a cold sweet, usually in a tall glass, built in layers you can see: ice cream or a light frozen cream, then fruit, sauce, or , then another layer. That layered ice-cream-and-fruit glass is the picture most English menus give you. Though actually, the French word simply means “perfect,” and the older French parfait is a smooth frozen cream, more like a rich mousse, not always striped in a glass. English borrowed the French word as-is, without changing the spelling. In Taiwan cafés you will often meet the tall Japanese-style glass (ice cream, fruit, cereal, cream). It is a food word — shop and recipe language, not a formal word, and not the adjective perfect.

組成Unadapted borrowing from French parfait (“perfect”). Same Latin ancestor as English perfect (they are doublets).
