Beyond Newport’s Mansions: Rhode Island’s Foodie Guide ❣️
Rhode Island’s mansion districts are famous for a reason—but let’s be real, once you’ve visited The Breakers and Rosecliff, you might be ready to switch gears… to food! Here’s how I spent a perfect day eating my way through the Ocean State 🍴: 📍 Stop 1: Viral Fruit Tarts (Seasonal Limited!) Pastiche Fine DessertsThis spot lives up to all the hype—their desserts are chef’s kiss! The best part? They hit that sweet spot (literally) of “not too sweet”—total peak of Chinese-style dessert philosophy 😍. Pro tip: These fruit tarts are seasonal limited editions, so make sure to pre-order ahead of time—you don’t want to miss out! 🥧 📍 Stop 2: Teddy Bear Ice Cream Sandwiches 🍦 Tricycle Ice CreamWho knew an ice cream sandwich could be this good? Their combo of ube ice cream, coconut flakes, and buttery cookies was a total surprise—way better than I expected! 😋 The creamy ube pairs perfectly with the crunchy coconut and soft cookie, making every bite a sweet, chewy delight. It’s cute, tasty, and perfect for a sunny day! 🐻 📍 Stop 3: Beachside Eats 🍴 Monahan's Clam ShackNo Rhode Island food tour is complete without a seafood stop! We ordered their classic hot Boston lobster roll, plus a special limited-edition fried scallop roll and clam cakes. The lobster roll was solid—while it didn’t have the ultra-sweet freshness of Maine lobsters, the meat was still firm and juicy 👍. The special limited-edition roll? Chef’s kiss! The sauce had a subtle wasabi kick that made every bite pop—total flavor surprise 😲. It was such a perfect day of eating and exploring—left Rhode Island full and happy, heading back to Massachusetts with a full belly! 😊 #InternationalStudentFoodie #GlobalFoodTribe #RhodeIslandEats #RhodeIslandLife #RhodeIslandGuide #BostonAreaTravel #NorthAmericanLife #FoodLoversAreGuides #SatisfyChineseTasteBuds #FoodOasisInTheDesert
