Ginger and Sesame Ice Cream

As you enter the Blue Pumpkin, a café in Siem Reap, you are greeted by the smell of freshly baked pastries and coffee. While I did not get to sample the delicious looking pastries and sandwiches, I had a taste of the Ginger and Sesame ice cream.  The taste of ginger was distinct but not over-powering and the black sesame provided the added texture. As the taste of the sesame was very subtle, the ice cream did not end up tasting like a savory Chinese stir-fry dish.  The ice cream is refreshing, unusual and an acquired taste, but definitely, worth trying.
