ice cream:
四叶和菓子本舖 u gotta paste that in dianping its not on apple maps

this was rly disappointint to me tbh the mochi was bad, the jelly was fine, the ice cream was a little hard, and the cookie was a cracker not a dorayaki pancake like i thought. Their wagashi was good tho i got this peach one that i didnt get a pic of it was solid. coffee shop across has solid coffee tho and a cool attached eclectic store (vinyls, books, purses, jewelry, home decor, other chachkis)
azabuya

they have diff matcha strength gelatos
they were out of the super rich one at like 3pm so i just got the medium and light one. tbh i didnt rly care for this lol id rather have matcha ice cream than gelato maybe. the medium one was already bitter enough, i think the super od one wld b actively difficult to eat, while the light one was kinda too wishy washy for me. this is deff inspired by suzukien in tokyo that sells 7 levels of matcha gelato and is v viral.

assorted sweets:

afternoon tea at the peninsula hotel
was country of turkey themed -- scones were good and savories, sweets were 2 sweet for me
date mochi thing from fei spa--they have random free food if u go to the spa... like a literal sitdown shanghainese restaurant in the spa where 99% of the menu is free and u can order whatever/however much u want and nobody cares u just cant take it home

fruits:

some funky mango varietals.... i forget the exact names but one on the right is like "hot pepper mango" or something bc of the way it looks (wasnt spicy or anything like that)


waxberry/yang mei--these are super seasonal early to mid summer fruits. theres at least 2 diff varietals, these are the smaller kind. really sweet and juicy and soft like a ripe strawberry, but also fairly tart. these dye the s*** out of clothes tho

orange flesh loquat/pipa

white flesh loquat/pipa.... i think this one tasted more mild compared to the orange flesh one but idk clda just been the batch no idea lol

these r 40usd cherries. i will say these are very good cherries like u know how if u get a box of cherries at the supermarket like 20% will b really good and some 2 tart or 2 soggy or something... these are like 100% really good ones. like super uniform in color, taste, shape, look, but also nobody is that deep into cherries to pay that much for good cherries lol.
