Best mouthgasm

To merely call this trendy dessert “shaved ice” is an injustice. Vampire Penguin's signature dessert isn't the chunky, syrupy ice rock in a soggy paper cone from your childhood. Its Taiwanese-inspired version is fluffy, light as air and instantly melts into a mouthgasm, induced by its silky-smooth texture. Unique specialty flavors like Snow Tiger (Thai and milk-tea snow, Oreos and condensed milk), and Mexican Candy (mango snow with chili and fruit) will please a grown-up palate. A small gallery of anime-inspired artwork inside also makes this the perfect place to end a summer date. 6821 Stockton Boulevard, Suite 110; www.facebook.com/vampirepenguin916. A.H.
