OMG! Frozen dessert that we had to experience two days in a row just to be certain our tastebuds weren't making it all up!

Day 1 we came in for our first experience of both rolled ice cream and Taiwanese snow ice. Since the rolled ice cream was the smoothest ice cream we had ever experienced, we came back and tried a different flavor just to make sure it was the ice cream itself and not just the particular flavor. Nope, it's the ice cream itself.

Snow Ice appears to be something not quite like shaved ice, and not quite like ice cream. It's kind of like flaky sorbet, only somewhat smoother. Regardless, we've loved all of it that we've tried.

This brings us to ambiance: Sweet Tooth has character. From the mock-swingsets attached to the wall covered in plastic clovers, to the tongue-in-cheek names of the dessert concoctions, to the wall above the kitchen, proudly proclaiming "We will never dessert you," the childlike good humor of the place really comes through. 

For dessert:
Day 1: 
Passion Fruit From Miles Away (Snow Ice) 
The Snow Ice itself packs a powerful, sweet-tart flavor that is perfectly complimented by the sweet mango chunks and strawberry mochi. The bursting blueberry boba are a shock of sudden flavor that makes itself known in a good way. All-in-all a wonderfully balanced dessert, and one you cannot help but smile while eating.

Dragon Along (Rolled Ice Cream)
As I said above, the smoothest ice cream ever. We were not expecting the brilliant tangerine color of this dish. Once we saw it, we were expecting something with citrusy bite, and completely forgot that we'd ordered the much sweeter, gentler dragon fruit. Thus, that mellow, comforting, pleasing flavor of dragon fruit was a surprise when it washed across our palates. I know, describing the bright, sharp chill of a frozen dessert as mellow is kind of odd. More so when you realize that soothing flavor is refreshing the heck out of you in hundred-degree weather, but that's just dragon fruit for you. There were strawberries and mangoes in this dish too, but their brightness and tartness didn't interrupt the smoothness of the dragon fruit one bit, and only really served to add depth to the soothing flavor.

Day 2:
Taroble Idea (Snow Ice)
I wasn't quite prepared for the pure prettiness of this dessert. I had no idea frozen taro is the most amazing shade of lavender. I was hesitant to even eat it because I was busy admiring the colors: Pale purple snow ice, pale yellow boba, red-pink strawberries, and purple mochi, all drizzled with a creamy condensed milk and sprinkled with toasted coconut. Taro snow ice is nowhere near as sweet as the American palate is used to. The flavor reminded me of every dessert I had in Costa Rica, super-rich without actually being sweet. Then one of the lychee boba burst in my mouth with all its bright sweetness and the dish took on new levels of perfection. 

No Filter (Rolled Ice Cream)
I had the vague fear I would be overwhelmed by coffee, considering the coffee nibs in coffee ice cream, with coffee jelly to top it. However, even the coffee nibs crunching throughout every bite of that super-smooth ice cream were subdued enough to be stimulating without true jolt or schock of coffee flavor. Mind you, if you hate coffee this dish is not for you, because the flavor is unmistakable. It's more like a perfect cup of cafe au lait than a double shot of espresso, though. 

A side note on ordering:
It's probably best to stick to either all Snow Ices, or all Rolled Ice Creams if you are coming with a larger party and not sharing each dish, because on both our visits, the Snow Ice came out first, with enough time for us to actually finish it before the Rolled Ice Cream hit the table.
