Dragon Breath
Essentially it’s cereal mixed with liquid nitrogen to get the “dragon breath” effect. The cereal balls have a crunchy texture with a very faint fruit loop taste.
We ended up at Chocolate Chair by chance because as we were walking by, there was a large crowd of people laughing and giggling while taking photos of cold air being blown out of their mouths. It looked intriguing enough that we went out of our way to try whatever those people were having. Even though Chocolate Chair sells other items, everyone seems to only order the iconic “Dragon Breath.” Even their small storefront seems to dedicate over 60% of their space to the production of “Dragon Breathe,”
When you think of “Dragon Breath,” you have to categorize it in the same group of carnival food. The great thing about carnival food is that it’s usually fun, quick, and unexpected. You’re essentially purchasing a novelty, similar too fried twinkes or fried kool-aid. Admittedly, the “Dragon Breathe” is fun to eat and watch others and yourself blow out a stream of cold air. The “Dragon Breathe” has a texture and constitency similar to Captain Crunch but doesn’t have any real flavor – it’s like eating crunchy cold air.
Dragon Breath is worth at least trying once. It’s fun and you can snap some cool photos and videos. It’s a great thing to order during a break after walking around the Japantown mall or something interesting to do while killing time while you wait in line for a neighboring restaurant. In the end it’s a gimmick, and you shouldn’t expect anymore than that.
