chinatown icecream factorizzle, a.k.a. respect hello kitty

ok, so there's a haagen daz across the street for the less adventurous. but those with bollocks of steel will venture off commercial mott street down less commercial bayard street and witness a retro sign that reads something like this:

THE ORIGINAL CHINATOWN
ICE CREAM FACTORY

well hello, kitty.















what distinguishes them is the following:
a. they speak english but don't seem too american
b. they are friendly
c. here's the clincher, their icecream is LIGHT and fresh. its truly a colliod. i can see the air molecules trapped in there with the pink fluffy cream and red bean.

the icecreams i've tried are lychee (hotness), green tea (best one yet), red bean (my first time eating redbean so i don't have a frame of reference but red bean experts talk about how good it is).

reasonably priced, around 7$ for a pint.

too bad they don't have fennel.

enjoy.
