Big Desserts!

We've just got back from dinner. Our first night in NY City, so we decided to have something that looks like a real American diner.

I had salad which was huge that I had to leave to save some space for the dessert. I also had a little taste of Andy's sides, the corn cake (they call it corn cake, but it looks like a muffin...) and the apple compote. Corn cake was quite savory and the kicks of corn grits were something bit different. The apple compote was nicely done too though I was bit surprised by the fact they served it as a side menu for the main.

And yes, the dessert, New York Cheese Cake! They serve the cheese cake from a famous cake shop called Roxy. My first mouthful..., oooh this is what I call cheese cake! It's so rich that I felt like my mouth was covered with creamy cheese. There is no fancy top ups on this cake. It's just a pure, ultimate cheese cake. Seriously, taste-wise and potion-wise, it is one of the best cheese cake I've ever had, a must-try!

What I've found in NY so far...

There are cakes (or food in general..) in NY everywhere. I'm like a kid in a toy store:) The cakes in shops and cafe are so cute, especially the big muffins topped with colourful chocolate, jellies and cookies are lovely.

On the way back to the hotel, I found Sugar Free Jelly Belly. Although it's sugar free, they are as sweet as the original and flavours are the same. I found them a little softer, but I won't be tell the difference between the sugar free and the original. My favourite flavour, buttered popcorn was in it too, yummy:)

Haven't I tried a proper American dessert yet? no..., I haven't... we've been walking around whole day, and getting distracted by the big buildings. We're gonna get food now, so I'm hoping to try a real American treat:)

I'm in New York!!

Last few days, I was busy packing up and getting ready for our trip to America and Japan. We left London yesterday and got on a plane to our first destination, New York! This is my first time in America, so I'm really excited!

Before we got on a plane, we got Starbucks chai tea latte and this skinny lemo poppy seeds muffin (btw, I always think they shouldn't call it "Skinny" when they covered the muffin with incing sugar, which is of course lovely for me...)
We saved the muffin till we sit down and all settled on the plane. The lemony ran through nicely my tired boy, and then I drifted into a nap....

Since I'm not in my kitchen next few weeks, I'm going to to try sweets and desserts everywhere we're going to visit:) Exciting stuff:)
