My thoughts:
This was the second dessert I was having before dinner - apparently, I really was that hungry☺
I got the matcha green tea shaved ice with sago pearls ($5.99 + $0.50 for the sago), which I learned was a mistake. Because the pearls are glutinous, the coldness of the ice cream made them hard and not at all chewy, which is what makes pearls so appealing to begin with.
About the dessert itself, if you've never had shaved ice cream, it's really worth trying. As you know, ice cream is very dense. When it's shaved, the surface area is increased manifolds, making it more easily scoopable and seem more airy and allowing it to melt quickly in your mouth (thereby helping to prevent brain freeze - ok, maybe that wasn't the intended purpose☺)
The ice cream was refreshing on a hot summer day like today. I'll be back in the summer.
