We couldn’t go to Kyoto without a sampling of matcha; on the way up towards Kodaiji, we passed several shops selling matcha soft serve, but we were all too full to partake.

I first visited Moo Shu Ice Cream two years ago, when we were in Ottawa with the VIA Rail 150 Pass. Hot and sweaty, Moo Shu was a great place to cool down.

We ate a lot of ice cream in Vancouver; in fact, my travel buddy had one (or more) daily.
This is my second time going to Earnest; their London Fog is still my favourite iteration of the latte, ever. Can someone split a tub with me next time? Continue reading Ice Cream Tour: Vancouver
I have had my fair share of honeycomb ice cream ever since we first tried it in Seoul in 2015. We also had it again while waiting to eat in Los Angeles in 2016, and then in Vancouver in 2017. So 2018 was due for a honeycomb treat.

I love London Fog. Put London Fog in a food item, and I’ll probably try it. A lot of ice cream shops make Earl Grey ice cream, but London Fog ice cream is harder to come by. The difference lies in the creamier vanilla flavour that is not guaranteed in the Earl Grey versions.
Earnest easily makes the best London Fog ice cream (or London Fog flavoured anything) that I have ever had. Earnest, please sell your ice cream to the rest of Canada!

Life for the past 3.5 months of 2016 has been pretty crazy with lots of new beginnings and I’m finding it hard to make time to do all the things on my list. One thing I have been doing is eating lots of sweets and brunch, as you shall see below.
Spontaneous trips for macarons to raise low spirits.
A small taste of the student life again with Bernie’s Sunday buffet brunch.
Finally, finally, FINALLY. The long-awaited devouring of Mrs. Biederhof’s blueberry buttermilk pancakes.
One of the things I miss most about Hong Kong are the egg waffles. This is the Hong Kong style milk tea egg waffle with matcha ice cream – I just wish the waffles were a tad more eggy.
I finally tried a new peanut butter cookie recipe. Light, airy, and so easy to polish off five in a row.
As of September 2020: Wooffles & Cream has reopened at a new location.
Updated April 24, 2019: Wooffles & Cream has closed.
When places are fairly new, the information online is sometimes incorrect, which led us to come here at 9pm to find it closing up (the internet told us 9:30pm). So sadly it took a couple of tries until I finally got my hands on some egg waffles and ice cream.

We were lucky to have beautiful weather for the majority of our trip in Seoul, but one of the side effects of hot weather was an increased craving for ice cream… at least that was our excuse.
I had heard of honey chip ice cream before, so when we passed by a Softree near Bukchon Hanok Village, and decided to stop by after lunch.
First of all, they advertise their organic soft serve, which was something I can’t say I’ve tried before. Thankfully, it was delicious and creamy, and I would have enjoyed it on its own.
The honey chip itself is a small piece of honeycomb, and when you bite into it, gooey honey oozes out. The honey was sometimes a little bit overpowering, but it did match well with the ice cream. I did find that some pieces of honeycomb were too tough to chew, but overall it made for an interesting treat. I would definitely get it again…
Note: Softree is a Korean ice cream store.
My friend took us to Bang Bang Ice Cream and Bakery for some late summer ice cream sandwiches. It was warm enough that day to enjoy cold treats, and we all ended up getting a full ice cream cookie sandwich.
