Believe me when I say it was not intended to have four ice creams all in one night because it really wasn’t. What was originally a quest to have one of the best roast goose dishes in town turned into a night of marathon ice cream eating, well with a little bit of goose in between. As if to compensate ourselves after knowing that the restaurant we really wanted to try was not open due to the public holiday in Hong Kong, we had a scoop of latte gelato and another of salted caramel at Dolci on Wellington while waiting for another friend. After discovering the doors of yet another Chinese restaurant we wanted to try were shut we found ourselves at our next ice cream stop at Munchies near Gough, trying out their ice cream sandwich (matcha ice cream in between expresso and chocolate chip cookies) and orange glazed donut. All their ingredients are organic and free of GMO, as if to make ourselves a bit better, and the cookies were chewy which made eating the sandwich a little less messy. Donut was good too – not too sweet and not at all dry.
Roaming further into the Western side, we finally caught sight of a local place that was both open and served roast goose. Pity I forgot the name but the meat was juicy and certainly satisfied our long-awaited desire for some quality goose.
We then went for more ice cream. To a place I discovered a while back and wanted to go so it brought us to Small Potato Ice Creamery in Causeway Bay. The purple sweet potato ice cream, sprinkled with bigger and sweeter versions of rice krispies and a side of sweet potato paste, was soo yummy! The place is so cute too, with cartoon drawings of purple sweet potatoes everywhere. I really thought we were done and it was our last stop but boy was I wrong. How could we have called it a night without trying out the new ice pop place, I See I See, just around the corner? Handcrafted ice pops made with fresh fruits were a nice note to end the night on, and quite frankly the last time I’d be having any ice cream in a very long time…
