By Camellia Tse • • 1 min readA new ice cream parlor in Koreatown has caught the attention of our favorite Pulitzer Prize-winning food writer Jonathan Gold. CottonHi specializes in soft serve topped with — wait for it — organic cotton candy, which owner Jade Kim says is all the rage in South Korea.
