Mint Chocolate Cupcake
The Mint cupcake had a rich moist chocolate texture, I loved the frosting but to me it didn't have a lot of minty flavor and probably kids wouldn't like this so i would give this a 4/5.

A giant, old-fashioned glass schooner, pack it full of three scoops of Norms' award-winning premium French vanilla ice cream, ladle on a ton of hot fudge or topping of chocolate and add a mountain of whipped cream with sprinkled nuts and a maraschino cherry.   It was delicious but they should scale down the whipped cream.  I gave it a 4.5 because the price and large amount, a dessert for 4 people.

Passion Fruit and Taro Milk Tea with Boba, Garden Grove, CA 92844

Passion Fruit and Taro Milk Tea with Boba (Boba is the tapioca gummies which are added to the drink for more texture)

The passion fruit tea wasn't that good.  It had a wonderful flavor but too sour.  Perhaps, they didn't add enough surgar. I would give it a 2/5. Meanwhile the taro was excellent but I didn't care much for the boba. The tea was sweet and good while the boba was weird and squishy. I would give it a 4.5 out of 5.

Tim Tam, Australian Chocolate Biscuits (Available at Target)

Gigantic Hot Fudge Brownie A La Mode, Norms, Orange, CA

Gigantic Hot Fudge Brownie A La Mode
Gigantic Brownie is for sharing.  Topped with the LA county fair award winning 4 scoops of vanilla ice cream, delicious hot fudge and whip cream.   The fudge was a bit thick and really warm. The brownie was good and moist but it had a interesting  aftertaste. The award winning vanilla ice cream helped because of the cold creamy taste.  I would give it a 4.5 out of 5.

Les Pyreneens, Paris, Farnce

Les Pyreneens
They are called Winter Chocolates which are available in France during Christmas Holidays.  My aunt from Paris brought them over.  The chocolates are milky and creamy. When you pop one in your mouth, it starts melting to satisfy your taste buds. However, it is not too sweet. I would give it a 4/5.


Mango Slush, 85C Bakery Cafe

Mango Slush
The mango slush was amazing. It had a fresh sweet taste. When you gulped it down cold, it has an arctic chilled feeling in your throat. I would give it a 4/5.  You can also add boba (tapioca gummies), lychee or mango jelly  for the explosion of taste but I decided to stick with the plain and original slush.
