VAMPIRE PENGUIN OF HILLSBOROUGH – Chinese
The Hillsborough County outpost of the shaved snow brand, on East Bloomingdale Avenue in Brandon. Blocks of flavored ice are shaved into fine, feathery ribbons and stacked with syrups and toppings: strawberry with strawberry syrup, mango and watermelon, banana cream pie, cotton candy, mint chocolate, Mexican candy, the Orange Dreamscapade, a pina colada version that turns up in a lot of photos. Staff will walk you through every ingredient if you ask. Regulars mention the coloring sheets, the community-event turnouts and owners who clearly enjoy the job. Worth the drive across the county.
