Skinny Bitches @ Rice to Riches

Last week, I went to Rice to Riches after dinner with my friend YS. There was a sign on the door of Rice to Riches that says "no skinny bitches allowed". We looked at each other and laughed....theoretically, we should be rejected from this establishment but our goal is to walk out of there looking less skinny. We got the mango rice pudding with oatmeal coconut crumble topping. It was yummy. We shared the smallest rice pudding ($5) and yet, we couldn't finish it. The creaminess just gets to you after a while. I was never a big fan of rice puddings for this reason. I would suggest getting a fruitier flavor instead of the heavy chocolate or cheesecake, unless you can handle the creaminess. Or if you are completely shameless, you can try all the flavors until you decide what you want. :D


One thing I do like about Rice to Riches is the way they market themselves - edgy & hip. It seems like they take their rice puddings seriously but not themselves (in a humorous way).

I want to share my post-dessert-dessert story because it was THE highlight of the evening. I was walking home saw lots of girls standing behind a barricade on Mott Street (first picture below), there seemed to be a movie shoot going on and when I found out who it was that they were waiting for, I almost hyperventilated. If you read my previous post, you'd know that I was obsessing over the twilight books; low and behold, Robert Pattinson aka Mr. Edward Cullen was in the movie shoot!! He is SO the flavor of the month for me right now. Anyway, I saw the filming from across the street, somewhere in the second photo below (towards the right) is him. I could see him filming a carnival scene and he looked pretty delicious, more so than the rice pudding, so I have to say my post-dessert-dessert was better than my dessert. :)
