Smokin’ Hearth

Stumbled upon the Sowa Market on a Sunday afternoon filled with food trucks and vendors. I already knew this was the truck to look for thanks to a review I read on Unilocal.The watermelon sorbet is $ 6 (cash, credit card accepted). They also serve pizza there if anyone’s interested. The watermelon sorbet is freshly scooped out of a half-​watermelon, added sugar syrup, and liquid nitrogen. The magic happens when the guy adds in the liquid nitrogen. He’s also very friendly and willing to wait and pose for pictures. The sorbet texture is amazing. smooth with just the right amount of sweets. For those who are wondering (and people did ask at the market). yes, it tastes exactly like watermelon.

This review only covers their liquid nitrogen watermelon sorbet @ Sowa market.
SO COOL. Literally and figuratively.
Who would’ve thought you could see liquid nitrogen dessert @ a low key food truck market like Sowa? I didn’t. Anything involving food + liquid nitrogen is usually a thing of upscale establishments. My friend and I were so ecstatic to see such a sight and offering for only $ 6.
No preservatives added. Just straight up scoops from a watermelon and a couple dribbles of simple sugar syrup (water and cane sugar). Blend that. Then in goes the liquid nitrogen from a hole in the blender. We all watch with childhood excitement at the white puffs of smoke flowing out. It’s a rumbling watermelon volcano in the making and great visually and tactilely for people of all ages.
Refreshingly cold with the flavoring of watermelon purely intact, by far the coolest and healthiest dessert I’ve had :)
