Avocado Ice cream


My friend Hélène organized a girls' night out last Saturday, and we went to Ricky Ly's, a new local Thai restaurant in Woodmere. The food was amazing, even though the menu had 150 items. I ordered a Thai chicken avocado meal, with a coconut milk base sauce. Heavenly! We got to meet Ricky Ly after our meal, when we sat at the bar to get a drink. He has been in the States for over 30 years. He is a very knowledgeable and friendly man. I love talking to "foreigners" and share stories...anyway, I ordered a "Zentini", a martini with green tea. It was very good, although on the sweet side; the best part is when Ricky offered us to try is homemade avocado ice cream. It is not on the menu, and offer it when he has it in the kitchen. It was amazing! It is hard to describe, I think I'd compare the taste with pistachio with a delicious hint of coconut! Oh man...I would recommend this place to anyone with adventurous palate!!
