あいすまんじゅう Ice Manju

We visited my sister's place tonight. I love their house because they've got lots of sweets, snacks, and icecreams! My sister used to be a icecream monster but she's not having any at the moment because of the little boy in her belly. So...,
Andy and I helped to consume some of them ;)
I got "Ice Manju", which is a vanilla icecream with red bean paste (Azuki) in it. Quite heavy, especially after dinner, but strangely it goes down well. This is what I call a real Japanese icecream!!

Okinawa!

We've been to Okinawa, south coast of Japan. Pure blue sea, tropical fish, hot weather, and unique Okinawa food and sweets made me feel as if I was abroad again!

One of the most popular sweets in Okinawa is the purple sweet potato icecream. I specially like the one from the biggest icecream company in Okinawa called Blue Seal Icecream.

Potato and icecream does sound odd, but strangely they go well and kind of addictive....

Since I got back from Okinawa, I've been finishing up The World of Sweets.com website. Hopefully, it'll be out pretty soon:)

Chakalaka!

We went to Africa in Chiswick... it's a very hearty zebra walled bar&restaurant. Followed by adventurous Kudu and Kingklip, we got this wonderful treat! Chakalaka crispy mint surprise and strawberry, butterscotch and pistachio icecream in a brandy snap cup. Wow, that presentation..., one of the best dessert I ever had for last ...however months.

It was just awesome. Thanks to Chakalaka for an amazing Saturday night!
