Moom Maam - Torrance

Deep down in the bowels of the mall, a Smorgaburg star sets up a brick-and-mortar. 


It's artisan Thai gelato in every flavor you can imagine and also many you can't. The Special is amazing for sharing. A waffle-cup cradles a scoop of sticky rice, and you can choose up to three scoops as you wish. Mango is a must, black sesame is nutty and rich, and this last white one is a creamy and very interesting tofu. 

The woman behind the counter is incredibly patient, insisting that you try every flavor so you're sure to choose the ones you like. The blue corn with goat milk caramel doesn't make the cut for me as it is so much blander than it sounds, and it's mostly milky with kinda a hint of corn. Uji matcha is good, though, as is the rich Belgian chocolate. and creamy Thai tea. 

Don't come here if you don't have time to wait. Service is incredibly friendly but hardly fast, and seating is limited to a couple of narrow benches. Still, the ice cream is absolutely worth it, pricey but quality, unique and easily the best in the mall.
