Class 302 is a very interesting, busy, B-grade (sanitation) cheap eats restaurant. It is a Taiwanese chain- with places in Cerritos, Rowland Heights, and Irvine. Class 302 is designed like a typical Taiwanese elementary school, hence the name. Each “number”, 302, represents a specific class. The room is even decorated like a classroom. The tables are desks, the chairs, the small chairs you would find in a classroom.
And here’s the thing- nobody EVER goes there for the food. They go there for the shaved snow. That’s because the food is absolutely terrible compared to the snow. In actuality, the food is okay and people do order the food (we’ve don it), but the snow is much MUCH better. If you don’t know what shaved snow is, first think of a snow cone- that’s basically flavored shaved ice, right? Shaved Snow is shaved ice but the ice is milky and is shaved in the flavor that you want- like mango, strawberry, condensed milk, milk, banana, etc. Also, shaved snow is much more delicious and melt-in-your-mouth.
Papa and Karsen always share the same Golden Mango Mochi Snow. In Anya and Mommy’s opinion, this is way too sweet. The Golden Mango Mochi has mochi, mango, condensed milk, milk pudding (kind of like a sweet milk tofu), and of course, mango snow- Christmas has come early! Of course, this dish has been recommended by true mango lovers- Karsen and Papa- so be careful what you say. The next few times afterward, they got the mango snow without mochi- as it isn’t mango flavored, and we all know how mango crazy they are.
Yes, that’s right- mango, mango, and more mango. The toppings are on different layers of the snow- condensed milk on top, then mochi and mango, then milk pudding.
Anya and Mommy always make their own snow. They get milk snow with almond tofu, milk pudding, mochi, honey boba (it comes on the side), and condensed milk. Much less sweet than Karsen and Papa’s.
Class 302 food: 😀 😀 1/2
Class 302 snow: 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
As you can see, there is a huge difference between quality of food and quality of REAL food- SNOW! We really hope that they open up a Class 302 in Arizona-it’s perfect for our hot summers.
I love Class 302. It’s even better than the shaved ice/snow we had in Taiwan.
It’s so good that even your gong-gong loves it (though he’ll never admit it).
haha. Kung Kung loves the mango one. 🙂

Both of you young ones live an enviable lifestyle! Keep up the wondrous reporting.
Thanks for commenting! We miss you! When will we be able to see Ollie again? Does he still love cars?

I hope Class 302 opens in Phoenix as well so that I can taste the famous shaved snow. It is Mango season in India and I am having Dasheri Aam (Aam in mango in Hindi) which is sugary sweet – yummy and also making aamras – I am sure you all will love it. For those preferring less sweet, we can always reduce the quantity of sugar!
Lucky!!! You know how much we love aam. 🙁

Hey Sophisti-kids,
Do you know why you should stand in a corner when you are cold?
UMM..no.
Do tell. Does this have something to do with shaved snow vs. ice cream?
-the sophisti-kids
It’s because it is 90 degrees!
Haha – that’s such a nerdy joke!
Here’s one for you: Do you know what you call an angle that’s been in a car accident?
. . . . . . .
A RECT(wrecked)Angle!!! Get it? Credit for that joke belongs to a precocious sophisti-kid named Omkar!
Car jokes, huh? Well, I heard about a guy who slept under his car. He wanted to wake up oily in the morning.
Ok – one BAD car joke deserves another:
Q: What made the dinosaur’s car stop?
A: A flat Tire-annosaurus!
wow. i can’t believe that you never took me there. the snow looks amazing. seriously delicious. is it as good as that almond tofu place in taipei??
We can’t believe we never took you there either. Next time, then!
