SWEET ORCHID, REALLY-- SAN MATEO LOCATION - CLOSED..

I AM A FLORAL DESIGNER AND I DON'T THINK I WOULD BE INCLINED TO BITE INTO A PHAELONOPSIS BLOOM ANYTIME SOON. NO MATTER HOW SWEET IT MAY BE. BUT THE NAME IS INTRIGUINGLY APPEALING FOR A GELATO-SORBETO CREAMERY. LET ME SEE.... ORCHIDS -TROPICALS,  GELATO-SORBETO- ITALIAN, HHMMM... WHO CARES IT IS A GLOBAL MARKET AFTER  ALL AND THE CULINARY FUSION IS AT ITS WEIRDEST/GLORIOUS PEAK. BUH-LEEV, ME I HAVE SEEN SO MANY SO CALLED "FUSION ", A FEW HARDLY EDIBLE BUT MANY TURNED OUT TO BE  QUITE A PLEASANT REVELATION THAT NOTHING CAN  EVER SURPRISE OR MAY SOME WEIRD  TO ME ANYMORE,  WELL UNTIL I SAMPLE IT ANYWAY...

BUT YES "SWEET ORCHID " IS INDEED A DELIGHTFUL SURPRISE  WITH IT'S POPULAR AND EXOTIC FLAVORS THAT ARE MADE IN SMALL BATCHES FOR A FRESH CREAMY EXPERIENCE... SOME VERY INTERESTING FLAVORS ARE FOR EXAMPLE: TARO- (GABI- WHICH TASTE LIKE UBE ACTUALLY), DURIAN,  SOME SAYS AN APHRODISIAC (HHMMMMM DO I SEE GUYS LINING UP FOR THIS  ONE) BUT THE ODOR THE FRUIT EXUDES PREVENTS IT FROM  BEING BROUGHT INTO AN AIRPLANE AND SOME HOTELS AND CLINICS IN SOUTHEAST ASIA. PANDAN-  I CAN NOT THINK OF ANYTHING THAT IS FAMILIAR TO ME I CAN COMPARE IT TO THAT GROWS IN THE WESTERN WORLD BUT BEST I CAN DESCRIBE IS TO SAY THAT IT HAS A" NUTTY ,CREAMY,  SUBTLE SWEET LEAFY FLAVOR. I KNOW, NICE TRY . BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE MY WORD FOR  IT. YOU JUST SIMPLY HAVE TO TRY THIS BECAUSE IT IS SO GOOD. AND LAST, BUT NOT THE LEAST OF MY FAVES- CILANTRO LEMON SORBETO.  YES !! YOU READ IT RIGHT.  LEAVES A CLEAN REFRESHING TASTE IN YOUR MOUTH. A DEFINITE YUMMM!!!

THERE  ARE TWO LOCATIONS, ONE IN FREMONT AND THE OTHER IN SAN MATEO.
