keeping cool

This summer, we've been keeping cool with ice cream and sweets...

Like this frozen creme brulee.

It had a hard sugar top and the chocolate custard was rich and creamy.

They also have a custard version, so if I see it at the market, I'll get it to try.

This chocolate bar filled with vanilla ice cream.

I usually break it in half so I can enjoy it for two days.


Watermelon...so refreshing.
This one would've been good had it not melted on the way home and then refroze into a big blob.
It was our first time trying this one, filled with all sorts of fruits...pineapple, peach and orange.
This stracciatella bar was more chocolate than vanilla...love!

I heard there is a chocolate banana version, hope to be able to find it to try.

My all time favorite is this monaka...like a huge rectangle cone with vanilla and chocolate inside.

I also break this one in half to enjoy for two days.

What have you been enjoying to keep cool?

  1. I love the monaka one but whenever I bought it in Hawaii, the monaka was all stale, boooo.
    Japan watermelons are so sweet. I would buy the sliced ones from the market. Heck, all the fruits are so sweet.
    Been making earl grey tea with sweetened condensed milk in the blender. Sometimes I add boba but with all the sugar if the tea, don't need anymore calories.
    It's been raining off and on here. Muggy!

  2. The fruit bar looks so good with the fresh fruit chunks...how is the like liquid part of the popsicle? More hard ice like texture?

    And V hit it on the head, I like Monaka too but when I get it...it's always stale. Is it fresh and crunchy in Japan??

    Trying to think of what I been eating to keep cool...but I must be doing the Korean way. Eat hot foods to sweat it out and keep cool that way. lol!

    1. the popsicle part was white grape juice Jenny:)
      the monaka here is fresh though sometimes they are soggy stale too. I think they get stale if they defrost a little before freezing at the conbini.

      Take care.

  3. It's been quite hot here as well Kat...and strangely very humid. Not used to that anymore. It's been salads and Middle Eastern food for us.
