Many Merry Ice Cream

Who doesn't love ice cream? Bad question, I can already hear "I don't" from various people. Anyways, I love ice cream. It can be really bad ice cream, but I'll still eat it.

I stopped by Emack & Bolio's the other day for a sweet treat. After standing there for a good five minutes, overwhelmed by the various flavors, I decided on the Beantown Buzz. The "B" in Beantown Buzz was cleverly written with the Boston Red Sox "B," but that's not the reason why I ordered. I have zero love for the Red Sox. Well, it's actually baseball in general.

Beantown Buzz consists of strong expresso ice cream with chocolate covered coffee beans and chocolate cookie crunch. An absolute combination for a coffee and chocolate lover, like me.

They have various locations in the Boston area. Most importantly they have so much original flavors, which makes it hard for their customers to pick from. What will you order when you go?

Yesterday, I was at Porter Square to get my glasses fix. Whenever I'm in the area, I always stop by Porter Exchange. Inside are various small Japanese restaurants. No matter if I was eating sushi or ramen, afterwards, I will always stop by Japonaise Bakery.

Over the past two to three years, I find the quality of their products have dropped since the first time I was there. Despite this tiny issue, their pastry and baked goods are still more to my palette's liking than most other places.

This time I ordered Ichigo Cream. Ichigo is Japanese for strawberry. This is simply puff pastry filled with custard cream and strawberries. 

Ichigo Cream is one of those pastries that are so simple to make but I wouldn't be bothered to make it at home. Maybe when the next strawberry season comes by I'll give this a shot.

If you ever stop by Japonaise Bakery, do give their Izuki Cream and Chocolate Horn a try, if Ichigo Cream is not available.
