Las Vegas treats
Yes, I have a few spots for you:
1. Luv-It Frozen Custard - don't miss it. Cash only. Closed Sundays. Check their site for flavors.
2. The gelato place in the Wynn. Get their strataciella + espresso over the top, called an "Affogato." OMG that is so good.
3. The International Marketplace on Decatur/Tropicana - has MANY candies (and other foods) from all over the world.
4. Freed's Bakery (Jimmy C is referring to below) - good traditional famous bakery.
5. If you need a break from the sweets, go to Sammy's Woodfired Grill and get the grilled chicken balsamic salad. I get the small with double chicken. People's heads turn, its still huge! And soooo good.
6. Ichiza - outstanding Asian "tapas" and I heard their dessert is crazy good. Yelp it.
7. The mustard sliders at Martini's on Ft. Apache are flippin' amazing! Go for Happy Hour.
8. Nothing Bundt Cakes - you have NOT had a cake like this. OMG. They come in party size and 1-person mini bundts. They put something magical in them! (mouth is watering now)
9. The sangria at Cafe BaBaReBa is... whew! so good!
If I think of any more I'll let ya know. ;) Have fun!!
Is there no homemade mochi in Las Vegas?
I was spoiled while in LA to have encountered Fugetsu-do mochi. I now crave it (the chocolate with ganache in the center!!) but, in Vegas, everyone thinks mochi is that cubed white stuff that goes on top of your froyo. Please... anyone have the locale of real mochi in Vegas? PPPPlease? The Whole Foods and local Asian markets here don't even carry mochi blocks so I can't make Moffles (mochi waffles).
Trying to find good aligator in LA
There's a great cajun/creole restaurant in Vegas that has a super yummy gator appy. I flat out resisted gator until I tasted theirs, and now I'm hooked. Any suggestions??
