Food Quest-cum-Flushing Freedom Mile @ Flushing, New York

There are so many food places to try in Flushing. However, I thought that it would be more fun if we were to combine both food quest and the Flushing Freedom Mile. For starters, we will take the Orange Trail. 1. St George’s Church Grab a Red Mango frozen yogurt before starting your walking tour in the scorching sun 2. Daniel Carter Beard Square 3. Former RKO Keith’s Theatre 4. Flushing Town Hall 5. Lewis Latimer House Have a meal, say, Bimbibap, at Namoodol Restaurant and; Grab Sweet Red Bean Fish at Han Ah Reum Mart 6. Flushing High School 7. State Armory Drop by West Udon Restaurant for the Potato Croquette with Tonkatsu Sauce Drop by Arirang Restaurant and try their Chicken with handmade noodles 8. Friends Meeting Place Green Trail  1. Site of Flushing Female Association School  Try Madina’s Afghanistan Mixed-meat over rice Grab Red Mango’s frozen yogurt to cool yourself under the scorching sun...

Frozen Yogurt @ Red Mango

Another frozen yogurt chain store, Red Mango, opened along Roosevelt Ave at about one minute’s walk from its competitor – Pinkberry . A different concept from Pinkberry, Red Mango has more seats for customers to rest and enjoy the refreshing frozen yogurt. In comparison, Pinkberry , with a narrow stall space, is more suitable for takeaways. Founded in 2002 in South Korea, the giant Frozen Yogurt chain entered the US market in July 2007 and is the first retailer of frozen yogurt to receive the National Yogurt Association’s Live and Active Culture Seal. Yogurt is good for you. Burnt by the blazing sun, my husband and I decided to check out Red Mango outlet along Roosevelt Ave and enjoy the frozen yogurt.

Froyo @ Pinkberry [Closed]

Summer is here! Nothing beats anything else than having an ice cream or popsicle. However, in Flushing, there is an increasing popularity for frozen yogurt where two new joints along Roosevelt Ave were opened earlier this year. For my first blog post, I like to share my food quest at Pinkberry Frozen Yogurt. I observed that there are always customers at the outlet. This is apparently so because the outlet is about less than a five-minute walk from Flushing Main Street Subway. At Pinkberry, there are three yogurt flavors like plain, green tea and coffee and a wide variety of topping from nuts, chocolates to fruits. I took a longer time to decide the toppings for my frozen yogurt.  Price : The price for for the plain yogurt is around US$4 with each topping at US$0.95. I ordered a smallest cup with two toppings as shown in the picture below. It costs me about US$6.  Quality : The yogurt is okay. As for the toppings, I go for the chocolate chip and roasted almond slice...
