mmm-yoso!!!, the food blog, is where you have stopped for a moment. The food posting of today is written by Cathy. Kirk and Ed(from Yuma) are just not feeling it.
As Kirk has mentioned, our weather had been very strange the past few weeks. Very hot days, very cold days, rainy, windy and now, a bit chilly in the morning and evening but clear and pleasant during mid-day…
On one of the hot days, The Mister and I stopped here, the newest location of a business,
(which was a pop up inside Pangea Bakery Cafe just last summer), for a refreshing snack.
The location? On the East side of Convoy, just next to Jasmine Seafood Dim Sum, sharing the same parking lot with Dumpling Inn (which will be moving within that same parking lot into the former First Korean Market, which held Island Town restaurant, which had been one location of Woo Chee Chong, a San Diego mainstay since 1899, closing in 1995). (Link to obituary of the son of the WCC founders).
Anyhow, you should be able to see the Aqua colored building… 
Walking into the small storefront, there are a few tables and some bar stool seating. Straight ahead, a suggested menu is available. To the left are the snow shaving machines. Pricing is by the ounce (48 cents/ounce on our most recent visit). 
Topping choices can be overwhelming. Pretty much anything you'd like is available… There are six main flavors of shaved snow always available: original (condensed milk), strawberry, green tea, lychee, black sesame and salted caramel.
That day, I wanted something simple, so a small cup of shaved lychee was mine. (4.5 oz, $2.16)
This is a good photo to show you the delicate ribbons formed by shaving the ice block. The snow melts in your mouth and the bright flavor is just wonderfully crisp; not too sweet.
Special Selection that day was the 'Frozen Hot Chocolate'. This order weighed 8.7 ounces (and therefore was $4.18; I can do math in my head and not show the work, because I am old).
Chocolate shaved snow (very good chocolate), topped with dark chocolate bits, fresh strawberries and house made whipped cream, along with two fluted cookies. The depth of flavors in this combination was great. Even though I don't crave chocolate, this really did hit the spot for me.
