I went down to Sony Centre at lunch today for Gourmet Gringos and Sweet Snow Shaved Ice (a brand new truck, they're on facebook and here: http://www.sweetsnowshaveice.com/
My fish tacos were fine, balance of flavours not quite there for me though - I think too heavy on aioli and guac, not enough acid brightness. Tortillas and fish were fine.
The shaved ice had great texture and was obviously very refreshing on a day like today. I was drawn in by the tropical flavours (passion fruit and guava being favourites of mine) but I didn't find the flavours terribly distinct/evocative. Maybe that's typical of shaved ice I have no idea. You can get condensed milk, adzuki beans, and vanilla ice cream as options. I'd get it again but probably wouldn't go out of my way for it.
There was hardly any crowd today after 1:30 and there is some lovely seating at nearby Berczy (?) Park.
