Trippin': Arlington - The Sweet Spot

4508 Matlock Rd, Suite 110
Arlington, TX 76018

While Queenie and Gau kept discussing what we could do, sister Questina kept throwing out food ideas that she would immediately follow up with but it's not as good as in Houston. Haha. I think they felt bad that there was nothing fun we could do but I was constantly assuring them that all big poppa and I wanted was to spend time with them and that was all that mattered. As a super hostess myself, I absolutely understood what they were feeling though. In the end, we chose to go to The Sweet Spot to try their version of shaved ice with fruit. I'm not sure what I was expecting but let's just say that having the shaved ice there made me go sprinting towards Juice Box once I got back to Houston. I think it had even been over year since I last went to Juice Box. Along with shaved ice, The Sweet Spot also has gelato and frozen yogurt. The frozen yogurt wasn't to my liking. They had many flavors but the texture was soft and had a fast melting point. For the shaved ice, you choose one scoop of gelato from one of their complicated flavors. I like simple when it comes to gelato and they had nothing of the sort. I ended up choosing something called Mama Mia, which the guy behind the counter said was a best seller. The base of the ice-cream flavor would be closest to the sweet cream flavor. Speaking of sweet cream, I would love some of sweet cream from Hank's Ice-Cream right now. YUM! The shaved ice wasn't as shaved and fluffy as I would have liked it. I took one look at the ice shaving machine that they had and new right away that I would turn my nose up at it. But I wanted one anyways. I had to encourage the ice-cream guy to keep on adding that condensed milk. Haha. But yeah. Houston's better. I feel a major sweet tooth attack coming on. Thank goodness that I live in Houston and have access to so much good food. But I guess I can also thank all that good food for my jelly belly. Ugh.
