Parfait Club Ninth Meeting


Location: ST☆R, near Teramachi-dori, Kyoto
Members present: Kelly R., Owen, Kelly O., Kristin
Parfait tried: 1 Crazy Big Parfait ¥3680 (split 4 ways)
Ingredients: Vanilla/strawberry swirl softserve, corn flakes, whipped cream, berry syrup, strawberries, 3 waffle cones, 3 giant matcha pocky.

Reviews:
Kelly R.--Amazing! Not the best ice cream quality of the bunch, but a good combo of flavors. Worth it even just to see the thing in all its glory.

Owen--What are you doing reading this? Go get one now!!

Kelly O.--Recipie: Take God. Put him in a bowl. Top with strawberries. Stab with spoon. Seriously, this was quite possibly the most amazing thing I've ever eaten. The ice cream was just plain softserve, but in this case, I think quantity is an acceptable substitute for quality.

Kristin--I am completely full and suffering from too much sugar--and it was fun! I feel accomplished for some reason, and the parfait itself was pretty tasty (even had that good cereal crunch at the end). Fast service and in a good area of Kyoto for shopping. Take your friends (at least four of you)!

Parfait Club Eighth Meeting



Location: Hirakatashi Station
Members present: Owen, Kelly O., Kelly R., Kristin
Parfaits tried:
1 Chocolate Pail (split) ¥880
1 Strawberry Pail (split) ¥880

Ingredients:
Chocolate Pail--Chocolate syrup (and lots of it!), vanilla softserve, whipped cream, banana, fruit-salad-type fruits, corn flakes. Topped with an ice cream cone and a cherry. (hoshii)

Strawberry Pail--Strawberry syrup, soft serve, whipped cream, strawberries, corn flakes, melty vanilla ice cream, strawberry juice, and more strawberry pieces on the botton.

Reviews:
Owen--Chocolate Pail: If God was to have a Parfait, this would be it.

Kelly O.--Chocolate Pail: My only regret is that I did not try to take it on by myself. Also, because it's so big, it was very melty but the time we finished. Still, the ingredients were well-balanced and good quality. I'll have to go back for my own.

Kelly R.--Strawberry Pail: Absolutely delicious. Good quality ice cream, good quality fruit, plus a nice contrast of crunch under the first layer, and mixed into the really melty ice cream. It was the perfect size and price to split between two people.

Kristin--Strawberry Pail: I want to go back! Good price for its size, and the size is excitingly enormous (but still small enough to eat on your own). I loved the strawberries. Good parfait to split two ways. It was kind of soggy because it took a while to make, but still delicious.
