Class 302: Shaved Snow

My boyfriend took me to this place, Class 302, today. They serve random asian food, but we came for the shaved snow. The place is a cute little cafe that has classroom desks for tables and on the side of the desks have school bags that house the napkins and straws. On the wall is a huge chalkboard with the specials written on it. Also displayed are notebooks and school uniforms. It's a very cute place. Now onto the shaved snow....
Shaved snow is different from shaved ice in that it is shaved frozen milk! This girl explained it better in her blog about the place:

"Snow is fabulous! Nothing that I could have ever imagine it being. When I first saw it, I thought it was layers of shaved white chocolate but in fact it’s super thin sheets of creamy goodiness. Just layers and layers all soft and pillowy, yet creamy and slightly sweet. It’s actually a block of frozen milk that’s shaven.
The good thing is this new addiction only has one source so it’s less likely to get out of hand but on the other it’ll be more difficult to satiate my cravings.
The restaurant is called Class 302 in Rowland Heights and is a small grade-school-themed taiwanese cafe. The tables look like little desks and the chopsticks and napkins hang in backpacks on the side of the desks. The chalkboard has “Today’s Activities” with the menu written in colored chalk and even the waiters dress like school children.
The food was decently priced and tasty and served in little lunch boxes. It’s simple and traditional Taiwanese food. But back to the snow… So far I’ve tried the snow with red beans & rice cakes, green tea snow with red beans and rice cakes, and snow with mangoes. My favorite combination is the rice cakes and red bean. The rice cakes are basically mochi. mmm… so chewy and sweet. It goes really well with the snow. The red beans are sweetened and there’s condensed milk poured all over everything. Drool…"


Now if I had known that the rice cakes were mochi balls, I would have TOTALLY ordered THAT! yum.
