popping shower

Ice cream comes in all kinds of different flavours here, appealing to the Asian palate. More

interesting that what's in it, is what it's called. This is one of my faves: Popping Shower flavour. Actual ingredients are as yet unknown (pop rocks perhaps, but it's rarely that logical). I'll update once I figure it out.

The most common flavours of sweets are predictable if you're used to Chinese or Japanese food, but offensive to people like my very British friend Philip (of South African descent), who often complains that desserts should not consist of rice, beans and tea. Put in that way, it does sounds kind of funny, especially since the savoury flavours are the same, plus fish.

And yes, it's true, tomato ice cream is pretty gross.

Please don not say there are fish flavored Ice Creams...

Pop Rocks, that reminds me of a scene from a film at the festival last year, Son of Rambo. You must see the film when it comes out.

Yay at photos!

"Musk melon" doesn't sound all that appetizing either.

Crab and fish and tomato ice cream? I would have to try it all... just sayin'.
