Rare moments alone with my daughter Sequoia, recently turned 16, I treasure. After dropping Bailey off at his PT appointment at Kaiser Interstate Sequioa, or Maymay or Mayling as she is also known, and I went to Ping, an amazing Asian fusion restaurant in the Pearl, for a bite to eat. We were both starving. Ping has never let me down before but I was a little unsure if they could accommodate Sequoia’s vegetarian preferences. No problem. She had roasted potato skewers, dal with bread, and jasmine rice, and she was happy. My fare consisted of divine chicken, beef, prawn, and lamb satay skewers along with a potato vinegar shochu drink. No complaints from me. However, most memorable today was our next stop, Cool Moon. Cool Moon serves homemade ice cream in the most tantalizing flavors e.g., kulfi (cardamom, pistachio, and rosewater) and chai tea. No matter how tempting some of the more adventurous flavors may seem, I usually settle for chocolate or strawberry. Hey, I am simple and easy to please. Well, sorta kinda. Some people would disagree. Ha. Anyway, I had the most heavenly scoop of Belgian chocolate ice cream, which turned out to be the most satisfying part of my day—not counting my precious time with my Mayling who by the way enjoyed birthday cake flavored ice cream. Perfect for celebrating sweet 16.
