"Have you ever wondered what an ice cream hot pot might be? We haven’t, but we’re very curious about this menu item at Tha Phraya, a Thai restaurant on the Upper East Side. The restaurant is named for the Phraya river, which feeds into Bangkok’s canals, and it has food from all over Thailand. They’ve got betel leaf wraps and sai oua spring rolls, and a “crab fried rice lava.” That intriguing dessert consists of three flavors of ice cream with seasonal toppings, served in a hot pot." - will hartman
