| - Friend lives down the street so we went out and tried this place. The storefront is adorably cute with its bright colors and "kawaii" mascot. We sampled the original, green tea, and black sesame. The texture was interesting. My initial impression of the snow cream was "melted sherbet that was refrozen". I've had the cotton candy style Taiwanese shaved ice before, and this felt a little different.
So after mulling over the flavors and options, we got a sumo: half mango, half green tea. Toppings were strawberry, mango and lychee. No syrup or condensed milk, as we both felt that the snow cream was already sweet enough.
After a few minutes of eating, the snow cream became very gooey. It was unappetizingly gooey for my friend, so I did my best to finish it.
Service was great. The gal at the register explained the whole concept quite well, and pointed out the combos and special flavors.
I think if you go in with an open mind, no expectations, you might like it. For me, it's a "meh". I'll eat it if it's in front of me, but I wouldn't make a special trip for it.
