On the prowl for dessert one night, I catch wind of an interesting and unique creation. It's sold at Ajisen Ramen, a national japanese franchise better known for it's ramen, I arrive late but just in time for last orders.
They sell "Charmy Food Icey Ice Snow Ice" touted as "the world best Snow Ice dessert never seen before in Sydney". I think they meant ever seen before in Sydney.
The basic concept is simple. Creating a mixture, freezing it, then putting it through a cute blue penguin machine (pictured below). The penguin shaves the ice in a particular way which works, resulting in light texture and a very creamy taste.
Among the handful of flavours on offer, we choose a large green tea with additional topping of aloe vera pieces. It tastes much better than it looks and sounds. Trust me.
They claim, an average scoop of ice cream has 22.9g of fat and 418.5 kJ compared to an average scoop of snow ice which has 2.8g of fat and 128.5 kJ. A much healthy alternative by the sounds of it.Gotta love their marketing and cross selling skills on the menu....
"Snow Ice can be enjoyed at any time but the pleasure of tasting Snow Ice is most enhanced after enjoying your favourite Ajisen Ramen meal or other dishes"
Thumbs up for this dessert. Worthwhile to try just for the novelty.
