Finally Cold Stone creamery will come to Roppongi Hills, now they're recruiting staff. I'm a
happy person now because I saw their ice cream on CBS
News' web site - I wanted to try it so badly. If I try the biggest one, it has over 900kcal without toppings, though. Wow!
That's more than my total calories for lunch and dinner. You know
it's almost the same as 4 rice balls, more than one beef bowl (660kcal)?
Yes, actually, it looks like the Olympic torch to me - very big. Speaking
of American restaurant chains and fast food,
Doughnuts plant opened their third shop in Nishi-Asabu. I heard there are no lines in the shop
anymore. Of course it is too early to say if they will succeed or not in
Japan, but like I wrote before it's not so easy for
American food chains to succeed in Japan. I was wondering if it would be
harder or easier in Europe or other Asian countries so I checked
McDonalds' web site for other countries, and found another interesting
titbit: each item's calories are a little bit different in each country.
Look! the calories for a Large
French Fry is different by over 100 calories between the UK and the US.
That's more calories than an apple!

Hi Shannon
You can get a free large everytime? Hmm I envy you, but maybe I should be careful for weight. It seems to be so rich.

Maybe not poison ho ho ... but just very high calorie content. That's beacuse they can't cut down on the fat, to do so would cut out the best parts of the ice cream. The cream itself! There's less air per teaspoon of ice cream that's why the more you eat, the more fattening it is

Hi There
Wow everybody say it is poison?? too fatty and too sweet? Two or three bites are enough?! Okay let me try once. Then I will write what I ate.

Oh no! Coldstone Creamery ice cream is so rich in sugar, it literally gives off a smell like perfume when you pass people on the street. It is really, really rich and really, really bad for you. I have to say, I like Ben and Jerry's much more.

For me, eating this ice cream is like drowning in cold, sweet butter with candy or cookies mixed into it. Although it is tasty, I cannot eat more than a couple of spoonsful without getting sick because it is so high in fat.
Maybe the best thing to do is take it home in a cup and eat it a little at a time...

Cold Stone Creamery is my FAVORITE ice cream shop!!! It is so rich and is considered premium ice cream because of the slow melt and the velvet feel of the ice cream on the tongue ... mmmm Yes it is expensive, but very worth it!
