Today, I went to my cousin’s house in San Juan and we went food tripping for a while! As the title says, we went to the Carousel Creamery and Dohtonbori !

It’s funny how we ate ice cream first before our dinner, but here’s how today went:

I’ve read so many reviews about this place, and they were all good. I’ve been very excited to go there and I must say, my expectations were met. I got really excited (and very happy) when I saw this:

After watching Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens, I’m still in the hype of it (in fact, I was wearing Star Wars socks today, too) so I ordered one of these. Can you guess which one?

I first tried the Java the Hott one as I noticed that the ice cream container for it was nearly empty, it must be such a popular pick. The taste hit me really hard- a splash of coffee and just as the ice cream was melting in my mouth, spices exploded and my taste buds woke up. I guess, they really followed “The Force Awakens”, eh? (HAHAHA)

I tried the Dark Side Chocolate, and it was definitely love at first bite. The richness of the chocolate is so exquisite and I couldn’t help but want more, so that’s what I ordered.

I finished the ice cream rather quickly because it was so good. I regret not savoring the taste! 😦

Luckily, another food place on my “Places to Eat” list was literally inside the same building as the Carousel Creamery.

Again, I’ve read reviews about this Japanese restaurant and what makes it so unique was…

I ordered the Pork and Cheese Okonomiyaki and my cousin decided to get the Cheesy Okonomiyaki. Since she was sitting at the corner (and she’s 9 years old), I did the cooking and flipping. Each table has a griddle (is that what it’s called?) and an instruction manual on how to cook what.

 

 

 

 

Mmm, can’t wait to go back to both places!
