Reunited with the Original Chinatown Ice Cream Factory


65 Bayard St #63, New York, NY 10013, USA
Came back to The Original Chinatown Ice Cream Factory. Dang the long name. I am always intrigued with places that has unique flavors on the menu. Every single time I am in NYC, there are a few "must return" places and this is one of them. There is only one location, and it is mixed in on one of the streets with all the family restaurants and stores.

There are 2 flavors that I always crave. One is the black sesame and the other is the ginger. I have never found these flavors replicated elsewhere. They also say that they make their own ice cream. This time, I went for the ginger again. I was a little disappointed because it was a little weak. It didn't have the strong signature ginger flavor that I remembered. This time, it was lacking. I still enjoyed the chunks of sweet ginger.


The one on the left is ginger, and aunt got mango on the right. The staff during that day were pretty vibrant too. The girl in pink was trying to make funny faces as I was taking a picture. 

Just realized the elaborate menu on the wall. I always walk in and run through the available flavors in the glass case. It's easier just reading off the wall!

 
I must remember to  try the other unique flavors next time. Currently, the Lychee Lavender and the Cherry Pistachio stands out. Hopefully, it is a flavor that will be there when I go back again!

Price hiking up to $4.95 a scoop.
How much will it be when I get around to NYC again?
