Check out Dis n Dat Goo ‘Dez

Tina Ho and Pauline Yang

On a hot day after school, go to Dis n Dat Goo’Dez, located on 1112 Pensacola St. They sell many different treats like shave ice, smoothies, Vietnamese style sandwiches (banh mi), cracks seeds, pop-corn, candy and more. The shop is owned by husband-wife team, Linda and Henry. The store opened on August 8, 2012. They are having a reward system where students who have all A’s and B’s on their report cards are eligible in getting a free small shave ice cream through November 4, on Saturdays and Sundays only. Otherwise, their shave ice cream will sell for $1.25 small and $1.50 regular. As McKinley students, we happened to stumble across this little shop while walking to the bus stop. Linda and Henry are very friendly people who make us feel like family. The food is really good! We had the sandwiches and smoothies and liked them. The smoothies are rich, creamy and sweeter than other smoothies offered at local shops like Jamba Juice. They are made with fresh fruit and they come in flavors like honeydew, pineapple, lychee, strawberry, banana, mango, etc. You are able to mix flavors too and have pearl tapioca in them or not. The Vietnamese style sandwiches are ono too! We tried the steam pork with pickled carrots and mayonnaise. Every bite that we took, we got a little bit of that crispy, warm bread, with succulent steamed pork and crunchy, sweet and sour carrots. There are other combinations. (meat + vegetable. ie: tofu, chicken, beef, dicon, lemon grass, basil, pickles) If you’re getting hungry by all this why not stop by Dis n Dat Goo’Dez! Try some amazing foods and and quench your thirst with some refreshing smoothies!
