SnowFlake Shavery

I've been to SnowFlake Shavery a few times and I must say, this is one of my favorite dessert places in town! No matter what kind of weather it is, I'm there! The "snow" that they make is finer than shaved ice, it is fine to the point that it has a fluffy texture. You may choose a combo or customize your dessert. They make an assortment of flavors such as Vanilla, Green Tea, Black Sesame, Chocolate, Strawberry, Mango, and Coconut. After you choose your flavor, you may choose toppings or any sweet sauces for an additional cost.

Last October they served a limited supply of Pumpkin Spice. I chose to have it topped with sweet condensed milk and graham crackers on the bottom. It tasted as if I were eating a fluffy pumpkin pie:

A new seasonal flavor that they currently serve is Cookie Butter! If you haven't tried Trader Joe's Speculoos Cookie Butter, where this snow's flavor is based from, you're definitely missing out. This snow had a lighter flavor compared to the real Cookie Butter flavor, but I still could recognize the flavor. I had to get it with graham crackers and drizzled with chocolate syrup:

I wonder what new seasonal flavor they'll think of next!

Japan Trip '16: Sushi Bar Yasuda

I had to save my best dining experience in Japan for last at Sushi Bar Yasuda ! When my husband and I entered the small, intimate restaurant, we saw Chef Yasuda standing alone at the bar. He had no facial expression (maybe he was getting into the zone?). As everyone sat down, he was preparing our foods and began talking to us in a calm, friendly manner. As the night progressed, we all were having interesting conversations with Chef Yasuda from his life back in New York (he was the former owner of Sushi Yasuda ), sushi making techniques (and secrets!), him getting to know a bit about his patrons, and so on. I had told him that we were from Las Vegas, NV and he made fun of how it was impossible to get great sushi to the desert. Well, after eating my omakase meal, I would have to agree with him! Now onto the food, if you haven't recognized him yet, Chef Naomichi Yasuda is featured in CNN's Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown episode ...

Herbs & Rye

After driving pass by Herbs & Rye for many years I finally went in to see what all the hype was about this place. They serve classic cocktails that were popular during the Prohibition Era and before that time like the Gothic Age (unknown-1865) and Golden Age (1865-1900): Here's an example of of some of the drinks: I loved all the drinks they made, wasn't disappointed with any of them: Herbs & Rye also serves Italian food like flatbreads , pasta, and they're known for the steaks they cook, I'll try some next time! I only had the appetite to drink: I really enjoyed my time here especially the atmosphere of a " speakeasy feel". They get busy during the weekends so if you plan to dine in, make a reservation !
