If you are up for a little adventure, then head on over to China town for a dessert you don't want to miss. It might be a little overwhelming because you probably won't be able to read anything and you might not know what things are, but stop at Nu Cafe for some snowflake ice cream. Let me just start by saying this is not something that is easy to describe. It is ice cream that they shave off in thin slices (which makes it look a bit like string cheese) that falls into super thin layers. It comes in traditional flavors like vanilla and chocolate, and more exotic flavors like green tea and taro (which is a root veggie that is somewhat like a yam). Then you get to choose a sauce and topping. The traditiona; sauce is sweetened condensed milk (I know it sounds odd), and since I was all about authenticity, I decided to give it a go. I ended up with vanilla topped with sweetened condensed milk and strawberries. It tastes exactly like ice cream, but it is super light and fluffy and doesn't have a really heavy dairy taste to it. The milk wasn't too sweet and the strawberries added a nice textural difference. Snowflake ice cream is really hard to describe, but super delicious so take a walk on the wild side and stop by and try this dessert from the Far East.
