An avocado milkshake is like a regular milkshake—except the scoops of ice cream are replaced with scoops of avocado. Both ice cream and avocado are full of fat, yet the avocado milkshake tastes way better. You can get them at Asian restaurants all over Seattle, but depending on the particular culture of the place, the avocado shake is made—and tastes—totally different.
Rain Cafe, located next to the Asian Food Center on Aurora Avenue (13200 Aurora Ave N), is a fusion restaurant that serves a mix of Pacific Rim dishes drawing elements from Taiwanese, Japanese, and Chinese coastal cooking. For their avocado milkshake, they mix in espresso and add a rich layer of chocolate malt powder on top. The malt powder is an extremely Shanghai touch, as their cooking has a strong Western influence.
