Pinkberry
Those of you fortunate enough to live close to one of these gems are very lucky. Last week I met up with Nhu-Chi to watch a live taping of the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. After dinner(I’ll talk about it in the next post) we went to Pinkberry in West Hollywood. Ok… before my introduction to this most marvelous place I totally wasn’t a fan of frozen yogurt. It tasted like soft serve or just ice cream…never like what the name says it should taste like… friggin frozen yogurt. So I’ve finally encountered a place the serves up something that really tastes like frozen yogurt. It was phenomenal and until just right now when I was reviewing the company’s website I was sad at the thought that I might not get to eat it very often since I don’t frequent LA as often as I used to and I thought this place was just an LA thing. For us San Diegans….there’s a location in Temecula. It maybe a little far depending on where you live but you must visit it! The frozen confection was just phenomenal…silky and smooth and with that slight tang characteristic of yogurt. Pinkberry only makes 2 flavors… original and green tea but that’s all they need seriously. You can also choose a variety of toppings to compliment the treat. They also sell shaved ice and smoothies but it was very apparent that they were know for the frozen yogurt judging from the customers that were hoarding such large servings. Nhu-Chi and I decided to share a medium 3 topping original frozen yogurt($4.95) and went with mangoes, strawberries and blueberries. I haven’t felt so satisfied with a frozen treat since I was back in Rome at Giollitti’s and that says a lot. The dessert was sinfully delicious and it was fat free as well so no worries about the waistline. Now that I’ve found out its in Temecula I’ll certainly be frequenting this joint more often.
