Goth ice-cream at Little Damage, Los Angeles

Its Halloween time and everyone has been dressing up to look gothic so why not have some gothic food too, say Goth ice cream? Yea you may get it in India too but this post is about Little Damage in Los Angeles, USA which impressed me during my recent visit to LA for MTV Video Music Awards.

Located in Downtown LA, Little Damage is famous for black soft-serve ice-cream with black cones too. They serve many flavors which are made in small batches and they usually sell out pretty soon.

They rotate their flavors seasonally which will have at least one vegan option for all those who want to enjoy it dairy-free. 

Their signature black cones are naturally colored with activated charcoal and hand rolled minutes before you get one. Their black soft serve is also with activated charcoal. You can top your soft-serve with shaved coconut or oreo and if you feel colorful then top it with rainbow sprinkles or fruity pebbles. The taste of black soft serve ice-cream was very different and delicious.

So if you are in LA then make sure you visit Little Damage as missing it will cause a major damage in your food experience. Oh yeah, they have a photo booth too to treasure the memories at Little Damage so get those phones clicking and you get posing.

Beijing to Bangkok Food Festival at Aloft Cessna Business Park

Everyone is looking to try new food these days. I was craving for some hot chinese food for these late monsoons while my friend was tempted to try thai food. With the appetite we have, we decided to go for a buffet.

I have been to Aloft Cessna Business Park many times and I always had a wonderful stay and meals. I am I'm love with their decor. They have an on-going Beijing to Bangkok food festival going on. It matched my friend's and my current cravings so decided to go for it.

They have a huge buffet spread of dishes from Beijing to Bangkok. Various dimsums and bun, I enjoyed prawns and chicken dimsums. Delicious chicken and veg satay freshly made from the live counter. Some grilled tofu and chicken meat balls satay. 

                           

One of the delicious mocktails ever had

For mai course, noodles and rice were available with fish, chicken and veg gravy. I enjoyed some delicious hot pot and fish. Hot pots with your favorite ingredients, mine were prawns, bakchoy, mushroom and calamari. Fish which can be shared among various people with lemon dressing which makes the fish even more delicious. The other counters of salads, some more main course outside of the festival was also available. Dessert counter is not to be missed as I had the best Donut pudding at Aloft along with many more desserts and ice-cream available.

Head to Aloft Hotels at Cessna Business Park to relish this festival till 20th of October. Wishing everyone a very Happy Diwali.
