Chinatown Icecream Factory (NYC: Chinatown)
 
Ginger (too tame, not spicy enough) and Black Sesame + Greentea (black sesame is the best!).
 Pumpkin Pie flavor. Heavy pouring rain yesterday, what a bad day to go to Chinatown! The already narrow, crowded and vibrant city is even more chaotic with all the umbrella joustle. But at least the weather was still warm enough to eat icecream. It locates at this block full of Shanghai restaurants. There's a Häagen-Dazs store right across, for those who can't eat 'exotic' flavor (or else I don't understand its existence there ^^;;)? The NYC Chinatown is scary, so endlessly HUGE and totally resembles the grassroot HK 20 years ago. My friends brought me to venture through only the hardcore parts, we didn't go to the tourisy Canal st. There're so many $1 dumpling place. :D A lot of motion graphics studio have their offices there because it'd be 'hip' ^^;;

Yeah couldn't get a good picture of China town because it was pouring heavy rain all day. The Haagen-Dazs probably has those flavors too if it's in Chinatown but I keep thinking I can buy that brand in supermarket..^^;; This China icecream factory seems to be famous.

Didn't take pics of China town??
Oh Haagen-Dazs has Black Sesame and Green tea flavour...not sure if it is Japan-only though. Pumpkin-pie! I want to try that. Do they have durian flavour too?
