After seeing Gabi's review of Miami Rice I was VERY intrigued.. always looking for something new and different went on her word (and the advice of the other reviews). I can sum this one up really easily.. OMFG! The place is off the f-ing hook! As you can tell I'm very excited.. while I love ice cream and fro-yo this was just so different from that realm of dessert goodness.
The staff was SO friendly and outgoing which was so refreshing and delightful! You can sample each flavor to see which one is going to be a home run for your creation. ALL were so good but I narrowed it down to 2, the coconut and the cheesecake.. both were out-fing-standing! The 2 flavors were then topped with vanilla frozen yogurt which was so creamy and smooth (no this fro-yo is not tangy at all).. this was the perfect dessert.. superb texture variation and mouth feel.
This really took me back.. when I was a kid my mother would take us all to a buffet called Duff's. For dessert I would get a bowl of vanilla ice cream, cover it with tapioca and then ladle the sauce off the bread pudding right on top. Just heavenly.. this is as close to those fond memories I still carry with me close to my heart.
I love Miami Rice.. just appealed to me on so many levels.
