After talking to a couple friends who are in Japan (you guys know who you are LOL) me and husband had a hankering for mister donut’s pon de ring... I decided to do a search online and managed to come across mochi donuts by @tmixtea at @asakaramen they have a time limited buy 2 get 1 free mochi donuts so... we got chocolate, strawberry and matcha, verdict we enjoyed it! I think the oil used to fry them is a bit different from mister donut but the chewy texture is very close! Definitely scratched our pon de ring itch :9 #dessert #tmixtea we had ramen at Asaka ramen too, not bad though my main motive is still the donuts lol! https://www.instagram.com/p/B4WWWIupUcO/?igshid=d8pqartsnt0n
Tmix Tea & Dessert Bar launches home made gourmet ice cream
While stopping at Tmix Tea and Dessert Bar to media judge their ice cream sundae for the Sundae Challenge run by food blogger Vancouver Foodster, I was also able to sample their home made small batch ice cream, just launched last week. A few notes on what I sampled is detailed below - I highly recommend stopping in for ice cream.
Top left to right: Peanut butter brownie fudge (very nutty!), double chocolate almond (very rich with dark chocolate and could have this with a nice glass of red!), matcha (wouldn’t mind a stronger matcha flavour).
Middle left to right: pineapple coconut (refreshing pineapple flavour), hazelnut chocolate milk (like rocky road ice cream without the marshmallows), cookies and cream (homemade cookie - imagine an Oreo and a brownie coming together), and salted caramel.
Bottom left to right: mango (made with Mexican mango and love the bits of mango in it!), white chocolate lavender (strong lavender flavours with the white chocolate adding creaminess), and frozen creme brulee banana (lovely banana flavours and not too sweet - my most favourite out of the ones I tried).
I had visited before when they were using ice cream from outside for their desserts and their decision to make their own ice cream in-house is definitely an excellent one. I was in for a nice surprise as the ice cream was full of flavour, creamy, and made with high quality ingredients, such as fresh fruit, bc eggs and cream, and home made cookies and cake.
They also serve a variety of home made desserts, such as macarons, bubble waffle, and shaved ice, as well as drinks, including bubble tea.
I tried the tofu drink with fresh mango and grass jelly.
The limited time offer red velvet ice cream wrapped in bubble waffle was entered into the sundae challenge.
