Black ice cream has arrived in Vancouver!! You know those social media obsessions that come every so often(unicorn frappe, I’m looking at you), and drive everyone nuts? Mister’s new summer flavor, coconut ash, smells like one of those. This looks like a flavor meant for instagram-crazed people, and I, being one of those IGers, happily…

Late Night at Sulmida Korean Dessert Cafe
I have been exploring different restaurants in my neighborhood in Richmond. I tried out Sulmida after having dinner at Tokyo Joe, which was also delicious. Sulmida Korean Dessert Cafe have locations both in Burnaby, near Metrotown, and in central Richmond. Sulmida only opens later in the afternoon to cater to late night dessert people. They…
Hello from Boston! But First, Ice Cream!
I took a little break from real life, and flew north to Boston for a few days. In my research for food in Boston, Toscanini’s continues to pop up. Being the ice cream junkie that I am, I promised myself I have to go. I went literally after I dropped off my suitcase at the…
Dolcezza Gelato, Round 2 for Quality Control
Now that I am writing a food blog, I am extra aware of the importance of investigative journalism, thorough research and quality control. A while ago, I visited Dolcezza Gelato at CityCenter in DC. When I visited Bethesda Row, which is a very cute neighborhood that has lots of fun shops and restaurants, kind of like…
Volcanic Ice Cream Break at Ice Cream Jubilee
You know those times when you are so hungry and stressed with deadlines and you are feeling really exasperated, so instead of rushing to knock out as many deadlines as possible, you take a 30 minute train ride and try out a new ice cream place? No? Just me? Finnneee. Anyway, I had one of those…
Rollin’ into 2017 with IceQueen
Happy New Year! I hope everyone has had a wonderful holiday with lots of amazing eats and dranks and celebration with loved ones. In terms of New Year Resolutions, particularly those like ‘lose 10 pounds,’ ‘go to the gym’…I adopt the mindset of: let nature take its course. I actually eat quite healthy(fruit and veggie…
Dreaming in Roses at Rose’s Luxury
Rose’s Luxury was named the Best New Restaurant of 2014 by Bon Appetit. They serve mostly small dishes with a couple of larger options served family style to share. Their menu ranges from Southern comfort food, to American, a little French, a little Italian and probably a whole bunch of other incredible exotic influences that…
Ice cream with Tarragon at Dolcezza
Being in a new city, it is very important to find a nice ice cream parlor. Truth. Dolcezza Gelato is an ice cream shop chain in DC and Maryland. I have only been there once, but I can see a return trip in the future. While they offer the more traditional flavors, I like that…
Something New at Bella Gelateria
If you have been following Bella Gelateria’s instagram(like moi), you would have seen that Bella Gelateria has been making some of their gelatos with water buffalo milk. Gelato made with water buffalo milk is apparently healthier than regular gelato, because it contains more protein, more calcium, uses no eggs, no cream and no refined sugar….
An Earnest Love for Earnest Ice Cream
A few posts back, I said I will discuss my love for Earnest Ice Cream, my favorite ice cream parlor in Vancouver. Here it is. I keep my word, especially when it comes to food. To illustrate my love for Earnest: I had the matcha ice cream in the photo to the left on the…
Hey Mister! Tasty, Techy and Torched Ice Cream
A few days after I visited Nice Vice Creamery, I went back to Yaletown to try Mister. Mister has just opened for a few weeks, and it is one of the few ice cream parlours in Vancouver that feeds our latest dessert craze, liquid nitrogen ice cream. For people that regularly stalk Instagram for #foodporn…
Lik N2: Ice Cream, Are You?
So Lik N2 opened in Vancity a few weeks ago and due to its proximity to my workplace, I trotted over on a rather cold day to enjoy ice cream for lunch. It’s true that I am not as much an aficionado for ice cream as Teng is but who doesn’t enjoy ice cream once…
