I was looking after Charlie outside the shop while Tina worked the automatic processing machine when I spotted one of my favourite things. A new asian grocer that I didn't know about! I wasn't getting too excited though as I suspected it was a Korean grocer and while I enjoy pretty much all asian food, Korean isn't at the top of my list and to be honest I don't know too much about it or cook it at all really. Anyway, that doesn't stop me wanting to have a bit of a wander around if only to see what they stock in case it comes in handy one day. I pride myself on knowing where I can get most of my favourite asian ingredients.
Charlie has just had a bit of a typical Charlie stack and splatted on the footpath so she needed a bit of a cheer up. It was a pretty hot day again so I thought we should check out the ice cream cabinet. With so many interesting looking options and absolutely no English descriptions on the packets, choosing was a bit of a lucky dip. I settled on a skinny ice pole with a blue and white wrapper that as I was purchasing the girl at the counter told me was soda flavour. That's a new one to me!
Charlie loved it and after a bit of negotiating I managed to swindle a few small bites. It was delicious! I think it was actually ice cream soda flavour. It had an icy lemonade soda flavoured outside with a smooth ice cream filling. And only $1.20!
When we returned to collect the photos we grabbed two more so Tina and I could each enjoy one properly! I really loved the ice cream soda flavour combination, so refeshing. Perhaps it was a bit of a flash back to those days as a kid when we got the rare chance to enjoy ice cream spiders.
Now I' m left wondering what other hidden gems are lurking in that Korean grocers ice cream cabinet...
