Fans of cotton candy (or candy floss as it’s also known), can’t go past these adorable creations at Ruimilk in Flushing, Queens. First you choose your soft-serve flavor, vanilla or chocolate, or you can get a twist of both like I did. Then choose your cotton candy ‘rui’. As well as the super cute panda ($5.75), there’s also a pink tutu, a dreamy balloon and the ‘Thunder Bomb’.
While waiting for my Panda Rui to be made, I first noticed Ruimilk’s strict hygiene. Not only did the worker wear gloves when assembling the cotton candy, but he also wore a mask covering his nose and mouth. I really appreciated this!
I’ll be honest: you come to Ruimilk for the cotton candy, not the ice cream. The soft-serve was very standard, and nothing special. However, I loved my cotton candy panda! The chocolate used for the facial features is of a high quality, and tastes very good. I almost felt bad biting into the head of a panda, but that feeling soon dissipated and was replaced by feeling like a kid at the school fair. Pure bliss!
