with all the ice cream places popping up in Toronto, how does one distinguish oneself? asian inspired flavours!
I randomly stopped into kekou while on the way to go grocery shopping, and had no idea what to expect. at first, I thought it was just an ice cream place, but when I began to read the flavours, I relalized that they all seemd uniquely asian. spciy salted pineapple? milk tea? vietnamese coffee? durian??!?!? so many flavours, and so little time.
after trying nearly half of all the flavours, I have to say my favourites are durian (if you can handle it), and the spicy salted pineapple. Classic flavours like taro, or green tea are good as well if you don't want anything too weird. I brought my mother in law here and she got one of the ice cream bars that was really good too. I always just got the ice cream, but I'll be getting a bar next time as well.
Kekou is perfect for someone like myself. I find most western desserts much too sweet or too creamy. if you're looking for sweet creamy gelato, this isn't the place for you. and if you're looking for ice ceam drizzled in chocolate, with pieces of oreos and brownies stuffed in it, then this is also not for you. but, if you're looking for a cold refreshing dessert with some classic asian flavours, then it's worth a stop in.
