Summer Snack Spotlight :: Matcha Anko Kakigori



Hi. I like ice cream. I think, besides pie, it would be my favourite dessert/snack. And when you combine pie with ice cream I ascend. So, with summers being as ridiculously hot as they are here...it is a perfect time to try out all the different summer ice creams they have available.

Let's start out with a kakigori, also known as shaved ice. It's a lower calorie option of ice and syrup. I've had bingsu before in Korea and I must say it is the superior shaved ice. However, in a pinch kakigori will work.

This particular one was matcha flavour with red bean paste. It had a nice mild flavour, a little sweet. The red beans on top with the highlight in terms of flavour. However, I typically like to let ice cream melt in my mouth. The beans meant I had to chew a little and then meant crunching some ice. I know some people enjoy the sensation of chewing on ice but I am not one of them. It affects the sensitive teeth in my mouth from when I had my wisdom teeth removed. Not a fan. However, the flavour was nice even if the picture of it doesn't look great.


Yeah, sorry it looks kinda gross. A single container has 32 calories and 0.9g fat.

Furthermore, lots of these packets are just noodles and broth (or sauce) but the images on the packaging have vegetables and meat. A bunch of goodies. Basically, you can just buy these and just eat the noodles. However, what I prefer to do is deck them out. Go to the vegetable area and grab a bunch of veggies to pad out the noodles. You end up with a much better dish overall and (depending on how many veggies you add) you might be able to stretch the noodles into two meals instead of one! Now I no longer have this wrapper so I can't properly give you a lot of information besides the image you see above. It was a tonkatsu ramen, aka, ...
