Macaron Ice Cream Sandwich x Thai Iced Tea from Snow Monster OC
Snow Monster is nestled in Orange County's 'Little Saigon' Vietnamese community and my stylist friend Andrew and I stopped by on a late Monday afternoon after a quick Disneyland trip. It was quiet with no wait, and since I hadn't been before, I asked the shop girl what she suggested in terms of a macaron and ice cream pairing (you can pair any macaron with ice cream flavor that they have available); she suggested the fruity pebbles and matcha green tea ice cream, I happily obliged along with a thai iced tea, which, you have the option to purchase a take home Snow Monster & ribbon adorned mason jar. I, personally, did not need to add another mason jar to the collection at home no matter how stinkin' cute.
The macaron was perfection; I loved the crunch and flavor from the fruity pebble flakes; thinking back, I should have paired with a vanilla or fruit flavored ice cream; the matcha green tea was sweet but also had a slight bitterness as tea and tea flavored foods tend to be, which did not fully complement the macaron.
However, that does not mean that I did not fully enjoy every bite. I need to go back and try other menu items! I was also surprised to be able to take home the rest of my thai iced tea that filled up an entire to-go cup. Let your inner dessert fiend come out at Snow Monster.
