![]() by Ethan Khuu Tran Let’s Roll Ice Cream is a dish that originated from Thailand. It is also called rolled ice cream, ice cream roll, and many more. Rolled ice cream is a milk dessert that is poured onto an ice grill. It creates a sheet of ice cream and it then rolled up and put into a cup where many can enjoy. This ice cream treat can be modified with many different sweet toppings ranging from oreos to glistening caramel. Many places sell this product and can commonly be found all around the bay area. The specific one I went to is Let’s Roll Ice Cream on Irving St., San Francisco. After I finished paying for my product, the guy doing my “matcha-cha” ice cream roll was done I quickly went to the toppings counter. Like most ice cream roll places, you only need to pay for the ice cream. All the toppings are free! I quickly told her what I wanted, strawberry pocky sticks, mochi, coconut shavings, and to top it all up, I chose Nutella. The cashier fluidly put the ingredients and oozed the liquid Nutella out of the the bottle, I have never seen Nutella flow so graciously. I quickly sat down on the bench and devoured my sugary concoction. Bite by bite, I finished my ice cream treat, leaving my stomach full and fulfilled. My mom who also ate the ice cream said, “It is good, but it’s too sweet for me.” There are many healthy options if you don’t prefer having too much sugar. 3x berry which is a vanilla ice cream roll chopped with strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries, provides the person a healthy ice cream roll of fruity goodness. Overall, the experience was great. The cashier greeted me the moment I walked in and the guy who made my ice cream made a show out of it flipping his two spatulas. You can tell that the stores is very lively the moment you walk in. I would definitely come back the next time I come to San Francisco. ![]() By: Stephen Reos Food is an organic substance that can be broken down to provide energy and nutrients to the body in order to survive. To put it bluntly, we need it or else we’ll die. Just because it’s a necessary component for survival doesn’t mean we can’t have fun with it. In restaurants, we like to give burgers such funny names, like the ‘Whopper’. Typically, these foods are high in fat and calories, so these essentially serve as meals for the day. While they aren’t exactly good for you, they taste much different than what you would find naturally. As far as fast food restaurants go, Jack in the Box is a splendid choice. This place has an original color scheme and aesthetic in its seats and walls. The main colors, red and white, are present in their logo. This combined with the lighting, give the area a calm and relaxing feeling. I went with my family and we ordered 20 nuggets, 2 Jumbo Jack cheeseburgers, 1 order of curly fries, 1 large soda, and 10 churros. The chicken nuggets from this establishment are far superior to the ones from any other due to their soft texture and juicy meat. The Jumbo Jacks were pretty good according to my parents, though they aren’t much different from their competitors in my eyes. The curly fries are one of the defining features here because they have a very special taste. It’s like deep fried breaded chicken but in potato form. Even more defining than the curly fries are the desserts, and one of the best things on the menu are the mini churros. They are filled with a sweet cream and they are covered in cinnamon and sugar. The price for the whole meal was under $20, with the main contributor being the burgers. Denny’s is an American diner and restaurant that usually has a long line and crowded tables. This establishment has a homey feeling with the way the place is lit. The main colors are yellow and red. The waiters, waitresses, and other staff were kind enough and very helpful when it came to ordering. Not only that, the furniture in the restaurant is terribly comfortable. The food they offer at Denny’s is quite good. I’m not sure what my family ordered, but I got the Banana Pecan Pancakes. They were pretty delectable, they were very fluffy and soft, so soft I didn’t need any syrup or drinks to wash it down. Along with my pancakes, I ordered two strips of bacon, scrambled eggs, and hash browns. The bacon wasn’t anything special, and neither were the eggs. The hash browns were very nicely cooked, with the top layer being slightly more cooked than the bottom. The Pecan Pancakes were glazed.The price for my breakfast was pretty inexpensive, the check coming in at about $10. Overall, with my family of 6, the price was nearly $80, not counting my dad’s $20 tip. All in all, they’re great restaurants, as well as decrepit ones. It’s truly wondrous how us humans developed this fascination with making food unnecessarily grand. These meals have a high-calorie intake and could make you surpass the recommended amount of dietary elements. There are other areas we could focus on like efficiency and weight, but we don’t have a need for that in 2018, we much rather focus on taste and size. I highly recommend these establishments to the average human. |
