The shaved ice features unique textures, temperatures, and toppings. AdvertisementA few other customers ordered just before I did, so I patiently waited for my shaved ice to be prepared. But then, I started to taste the thinly shaved ice with the sweet red beans, fresh cream, and milk syrup. I would definitely come back againI have eaten my fair share of shaved ice around the world. In addition to kakigōri in Japan, I'm a fan of bingsu (milk-based Korean shaved ice) in Korea and ice kachang (shaved ice with mixed toppings) in Singapore.

Hong Kong CNN —Offering everything from Michelin-endorsed dim sum to juicy smoked goose served in a world-renowned restaurant, Hong Kong is home to some of the finest culinary experiences on the planet. But don’t fret – we have put together a list of eight top-quality Hong Kong markets along with some of the best dishes to try.

☆ A Lesson in Tender, Tangy Lemon Bars
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-24 | by ( Genevieve Ko | More About Genevieve Ko | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

I had no idea what lemon bars were. My classmates said that my new school would turn my Chinese American self into a banana or a Twinkie — yellow on the outside, white within. Because the lemon bars didn’t taste like a loss of identity, but an expansion of it. But from-scratch treats from midcentury Americana were foreign to me — and lemon bars tasted especially mysterious, at once sour and sweet, rich and sharp. The next year, Betty Crocker’s “Cooky Book” included a recipe for Lemon Squares, which extended its popularity beyond local community cookbooks.

There are several A.I. tools that aim to make selecting a gift easier, including a website that comes up with gift ideas based on someone’s Instagram profile. The trick to getting bespoke recommendations is to share voluminous details about your budget and the people you’re shopping for. Here’s a prompt I wrote for a hypothetical child who is unhappy about moving to a new home. The chatbot generated a heartfelt story about Max and Mochi, a pair of furry siblings.

CNN —A Labrador and German shepherd mix named Zoey has claimed the record for the longest tongue on a living dog. At 12.7 centimeters (5 inches), Zoey’s tongue is longer than a soda can, according to Guinness World Records. Her owners, Sadie and Drew Williams from Metairie, Louisiana, US, said people often comment on how long Zoey’s tongue is. “She will pretty much go fetch anything you throw and swim in any body of water that’s available,” said Drew Williams. “Every now and then while we’re out taking her on a walk, people will come up to her and want to pet her,” said Drew Williams.

☆ Los Angeles Is a Doughnut Town

The Donut Hole, in La Puente, doesn’t sell the very best doughnuts in the Los Angeles area, but I love going there. Driving through its absurd, gigantic fiberglass doughnut — a pristine example of mimetic architecture — is a brief, giddy and almost spiritual experience. An edge, architectural or otherwise, is practically required in the unusually saturated, competitive doughnut market of Southern California. It might be a glamorous seasonal doughnut, like the strawberry-stuffed beasts you can find at the Donut Man, in Glendora, from February to September. I am consistently pleased by the simple chocolate glazed at Colorado Donuts — though if I’m with my nephews, the chewy, pull-apart, rainbow-colored mochi doughnuts from Mochi Dochi are always the stronger choice.

☆ Best Chinese food: 32 must-try dishes

Dan dan noodlesIt’s nearly impossible to dislike China’s soul-comforting dan dan mian, or dan dan noodles. Dan dan noodles are named after the way they were originally sold more than 100 years ago – on a dan dan, a carrying pole, by street hawkers. Some think dan dan noodles should contain a dry mix of noodles, made with minced meat, chopped scallions, spices, crushed peanuts and various sauces. Others disagree, preferring dan dan noodles in a hot, spicy, salty and nutty broth albeit with similar ingredients. Similar to Hainanese chicken rice, the Wenchang version is often served with yellow chicken fat rice and chicken soup.

After loading up on several boxes of Trader Joe’s ube-flavored mochi ice cream, Natasha Fischer brought them home, recorded a video for her Instagram account and put them straight into her freezer. Online, Ms. Fischer’s ice cream stockpiling drew backlash on her Trader Joe’s List account, where she has nearly two million followers, with people grumbling that hoarders are the reason they can’t find the products they want. Ms. Fischer, who lives in Los Angeles and runs a cookware business, wasn’t deterred, saying she was certain the ice cream with the trendy purple yam flavor would vanish by the end of the summer.

Taste that rich filling for evidence of the Arab influence that infuses Sicilian cuisine: The candied citrus that often flavors the creamy interior remains beloved throughout the Middle East. In the 1990s, the cake became a menu star as a lava cake or molten chocolate cake. A soft, flaky dough is shaped into a plump half-moon that barely contains the sweet filling, then topped with a light blanket of powdered sugar. Variations on medovik differ widely, but the most popular takes incorporate one of two very Russian ingredients into the sweet filling.
