Disappointment in Dallas

I've heard wonderful things about Asian Mint in Dallas, Texas, especially that the owner creates great desserts and drinks (all things sugary).  The food was wonderful, but the desserts were hit or miss. 

They taut their Signature Green Tea Ice Cream Cake, but it was a huge disappointment.  I expect my ice cream to be cold and frozen, but not the cake too.  The cake was so frozen that it was tasteless and had the texture of eating a brick.  It was just as hard to cut it.  The green tea ice cream, I was told, was not made in house.  I'm not sure where they purchase it from, but I've had much better from the grocery store.  My two favorite places for green tea ice cream are Blue Fish and Uptown Sushi.

The Jasmine Creme Brulee was interesting, but refreshingly good (can you tell by the fact that it's nearly gone).  I thought the heart shaped dish was a bit corny, but the dessert made up for it.  It tasted like creme brulee with a hint of jasmine/green tea.  Very unique, and I personally liked it.

If you go to Asian Mint, I'd stay away from any of their green tea ice cream desserts, but try some of the more unique ones.
