Viva Pops! (Normal Heights - plus Tao and Jyoti Bihanga)

Foodgirl took her mom today to Tao - it was so yummy to go back. Still like the garlic "chicken" best - pho ok - homemade tofu with asparagus and lily flower was tasty but maybe too healthy - hehehe. Salad and strawberry cheesecake ice cream for dessert were yummy.

Mom wanted to get Jyoti Bihanga to take out for dinner (she came 3000 miles - she wasn't going to leave the neighborhood without getting something there!). I got a beet and coconut soup to go - yum!

But most important, Mom got Viva Pops, 2 doors down from Tao. She does not get as excited about food as Little Old Moi does....But after she had the sugar-free tart plum popsicle, all she could say was "WOW!!! WOW!!!! WOW!!! I sound like you, Foodgirl. WOW!!!" I had a taste too...I am not a tart plum kind of girl, but it certainly was intense, refreshing and tasty if you would enjoy eating a whole entire tart plum.

I never go there since Tao gives free dessert, but it is certainly worth a return visit!

  1. I guess we should point out that sugar-free = made with agave nectar. Still incredibly good but not really "sugar-free". The $2.50 price tag should lower the risk of overdose.
