Frozen Bean Burrito
Price ¥1.5 / 23 cents

First of all the wrapper totally tricks you, you think raspberry, or grape or some kind of fruity goodness especially because of the fact they have some on ice cream in the picture. WRONG!! You don't bite into anything purple and fruity! What is there to greet you on your first bite? Nasty brown beans that's what. They are supposed to be sweet red beans but no matter what you call them, they are beans and should not be in combination with ice cream in any shape or form. You might as well make this your main meal and get some salsa and sour cream to go with it. Some of the comments from those who tasted:  "you need to knaw it like a beaver" and "the texture is fiber-ish like wood". After you finish the beans there is vanilla "ice cream" at the bottom which was like frozen white water. Craving beans and needing more fiber in your diet on a hot day? Then maybe you might want one.

Final Verdict: Beany
Rating: ★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Got milk?




Milk flavor with raisin milk ice
Price ¥1 / 15 cents
This "milk" flavored ice is decent enough. It's soft, creamy, and sweet. The surprise is the real raisins within. So if you love raisins and are specifically looking for something that is milk flavored with milk ice then this is the one for you!

Final Verdict: Specially made for those who love milk and raisins and who just can't get enough of that combo.
Rating: ★★★★★☆☆☆☆☆

Menthol Ice Pop
Price: ¥1 / 15 cents

This popcicle is the equivalent of a cough drop and breath mint all wrapped up in one. It is the consistency of ice with some menthol flavoring thrown in. You literally do have fresh breath afterward, but its not really what I was hoping for. Have a sore throat or bad breath...then this is the popsicle for you! Don't have either? Then pass this one up!
Final Verdict: Useful for a frozen after dinner mint
Rating ★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Weeding out the good from the gross...begins with just one taste

Hot summer days need some refreshment don't you think? What is better than a delicious ice cream bar or a icy cold popsicle to cool you down? Over the course of the next few weeks, I with the help of some friends will be reviewing the creative variety of ice cream/frozen popsicles that Asia has to offer us. This is such a painstakingly difficult project to undertake but we will endure for the sake of others, that you might know what is absolutely worth trying and what you wouldn't even give your dog to eat.

Hope you enjoy reading and you are inspired to try something new!

I'm finally entering the blogging world!

Well after much thought on what my blog name would be, I finally decided on the collage of me. I choose this name because I want to write about things I am interested in or thoughts that I have, the random things and the deep things.  This blog isn't so much about Ian and I and what is going on in our lives, but just a space for me to write about the interesting and random, the serious and crazy. I believe that each person is a beautiful collage full of mystery and beauty waiting to be discovered. I want to share my collage that I am still discovering, with you.
