A famous ice cream store. And a favorite of my husband's. Exotic flavors available include lychee, almond, and taro, as well as the more conservative flavors like strawberry and pineapple. They say it's one of the best ice cream shoppes in the city - and they're a regular stop for Phil (my erstwhile husband.) Myself, I prefer Cold Stone Creamery...

Otto, Tavalon, Sandwich Shoppe, Once Upon a Tart, Bo Ky, and ice cream
Sarah, along with a million other people, just couldn't stop talking about Otto's olive oil gelato. Although I've been interested in trying it for a long time (hey, I love olive oil and I love gelato!), I...um, hadn't. Until Friday night.

Flushing, cheap dumplings, ice cream, and Brooklyn fooding
[Firstly, I must thank you all for your feedback on the posters in the last entry, whether you commented here or on flickr. I didn't expect that much feedback! YOU ARE ALL TOO AWESOME. I must admit, I feel like my head is going to explode if I try to incorporate all the suggestions, but my partner is much more organized than I am so perhaps she'll have some ideas. She came up the the apple idea, actually. As for what I did, I'm not sure. I took photos of the apples? And tried to photoshop it together? Damn. (shakes head)]

Pumpkin Pie flavor. Heavy pouring rain yesterday, what a bad day to go to Chinatown! The already narrow, crowded and vibrant city is even more chaotic with all the umbrella joustle. But at least the weather was still warm enough to eat icecream. It locates at this block full of Shanghai restaurants. There's a Häagen-Dazs store right across, for those who can't eat 'exotic' flavor (or else I don't understand its existence there ^^;;)? The NYC Chinatown is scary, so endlessly HUGE and totally resembles the grassroot HK 20 years ago. My friends brought me to venture through only the hardcore parts, we didn't go to the tourisy Canal st. There're so many $1 dumpling place. :D A lot of motion graphics studio have their offices there because it'd be 'hip'

One quick entry about New York ice creams before winter hits. What I have learned in my explorations of the best frozen desserts in New York is that no ice cream parlor does everything well - there are gaps and pleasures throughout.

I started my day with the same food I ate yesterday: veggies and eggs. YUM. It is pretty good, but I was still hungry. Since I suck, I went to Jubilee (the closest supermarket, although rather expensive) and got a 5 oz bag of olive oil potato chips and a pound of organic unsalted butter. It costed nearly $8, which seems like a lot for a pound of butter. WHY DID I BUY IT?! Oh well, it will last me a looong time, figuring I'm just using it for cooking and not to make pastries.

I did much fooding today. SOCIAL FOODING! And some non social fooding. First I meet up my old roommate from last year, Kathryn, and we ate lunch at Cozy Soup 'n Burger. It was pretty good, although not having had many hamburgers in the past, I don't know HOW good. I liked the burger itself...it was pretty thick and didn't taste like it was full of crap. I got the California Burger, which was basically a normal burger but specifically said it had lettuce tomatoes, onions, and mayo. So that made it Californian. Um.
