San Fran's Sweet Treats


One of my main objectives when traveling is to try a city's desserts. Over the memorial day break, I had the chance to visit a good foodie friend in San Francisco and try this dessert at Izakaya Sozai. In the center is vanilla ice cream, which could have been substituted with lychee ice cream to make this even more amazing to me. Then there these mini green tea cakes sandwiching a sweet red bean center. Strawberries are placed in between for contrasting complementary colors and freshness. The whole dessert is drizzled with a bit of a sweet glaze and sprinkled with powdered sugar to not only please the eyes, but also my taste-buds! Oh the joys of dessert reminiscing.
