Yes, That’s a Massive Cup of Ice Cream

So I decided to start this post in reverse chronological order because I love dessert, and I wanted to stress how good it was today. My friends and I went to the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory and shared a large cup of ice cream with three unique and delicious flavors: almond cookie, ginger, and black sesame. The almond cookie tasted like marzipan (which is a confection made from almond meal and sugar. It’s so good!) The ginger, for lack of better words, tasted like ginger but in a good way. Meaning, the ginger flavor tasted fresh but not too overpowering. The black sesame was my favorite because the ice cream had such an interesting texture from the sesame seeds. (You can tell from the picture below that the black sesame was on the bottom).

Before we had ice cream, we enjoyed some Hong Kong cuisine in a nearby restaurant in Chinatown. I ordered beef satay with rice noodles and vegetables and a Hong Kong style iced tea. Everything was so good, and I didn’t even feel guilty after eating so much because I had walked all the way from my apartment to Chinatown (over 5 miles)!
