December 17th 2017: Eating in Allston

We wanted to check out the dessert place, C Fruit Life in the Allston area of Boston, but as it was not open for the day yet, we decided to go across the street and try out Iron Kitchen, a small hole in the wall Chinese place serving mini pot and cast iron rice plates, while we were waiting.

We got the Spicy Beef Pot (Napa, beef, pork intestine, clam, fried tofu skin, beef ball, quail egg, enoki mushroom, fish ball, fish tofu, pig blood curd, tofu puff, instant noodle, preserved vegetables, green onion, cilantro),

Which was actually really good. Glad luck brought  us to this place.

C Fruit Life is definitely better in terms of decor,

and has a great variety of Hong Kong Style desserts, of which we got the Durian Sago Ice Cream Float on Milk Custard

and the Sphere's Edge.

Very well presented, and excellent combinations of flavors and textures as well. Glad we waited for this place to open today.
