Vosges Chocolate
Forum Shoppes
Maybe I’m not as much of a chocolate snob as I thought? I didn’t find Vosges chocolate particularly amazing but then I did not have the actual artisan chocolates. All I had was their espresso and icecream concoction and I didn’t find the icecream extra creamy. Nor did I find the espresso [...]

From my first experience with Maestro’s a few years back, I’ve always been in love with this steakhouse from the appetizers and all the way through to the dessert. It’s one of those tasting experiences, where your stomach hates you for torturing it, but your [...]

Jim’s bakery (SE corner of garvey and garfield) was closed for relocation so the hunt for egg tarts lead us to Kee Wah bakery in the same ‘hood. I always have a preference for the flaky crust vs. the cookie [...]

Tart Frozen Yogurt (CLOSED, probably stomped on by local chain giant yogurtland)

I have a special place in my heart for sbo/mom pop restaurants and businesses, and Tart is one of them. It is dwarfed by the yogurt giants around them such as Yogel’s, Golden Spoon [...]

So, Mastumoto vs. Waiola? Now, that I think back on it. I’m not sure either wins over the other. Both had a the nice texture of fluffy shaved ice and all the toppins you could want from icecream, to azuki, to mochi, to all kinds of [...]
Waiola Shave Ice

Honolulu, HI 96805

It’s a cute lil’ shack of a convenience store/dessert corner know for their delicious shaved ice and multitude of options for it. For my first concoction, I chose banana and coconut flavored syrup with mochi on the bottom and condensed milk (yes!!!) on [...]
USwirl
9775 W Charleston Blvd
Las Vegas NV
First of all, USwirl employee wouldn’t let me get my own free sample. I thought Uswirl meant that I would swirl it myself? Ok, looking past that fact, the tart flavored yogurt itself is too creamy for my liking. I was looking more for a pinkberry/yogurtland/tart texture [...]

Since I’ve tried red velvets from two different bakeries this week, I couldn’t leave out Cupcakery’s Red Velvet, called the “Savannah.”
Compared to the other two (Retro and Cupcake Lane), Cupcakery’s comes in second in this week’s battle of red velvet cupcakes. Frosting was smooth [...]

A world of difference between the quality of Retro Bakery vs. Cupcake Lane!!
In my last post, I had thought it was either the heat of the day or sitting at room temperature for a few hours that affected the quality of the cupcake from Retro Bakery but boy, [...]
