After lunch at Jitlada, I hit Scoops, an eclectic ice-cream place around the corner where owner Tai Kim made no secret of where he stood on the presidential election. I enjoyed reading the suggestion board before settling on a cup of the bestselling brown bread ice cream, which sounds like an odd flavor (ok, not as odd as foie gras, which was once featured here) but actually is a really old-school (as in 19th century) Irish/British flavor. It’s basically vanilla ice cream laced with caramel and dotted with toasted bits of brown bread … or in this case, Grape-Nuts, for superior crunch.
