Interior



Getting to know random people on the flights sometimes does bring good things. Jeni's ice cream, which was once featured on the New York Times, was brought to our attention by Lisa Marie Miller who works at the local Dispatch. Having heard how wonderful it is, me and my co-worker Dorothy decided to journey down this famous place after work last week.



Flavors that bloom



It's called flavors that bloom because Jeni's ice cream serves homemade handcrafted seasonal flavors. Jeni takes ingredients freshly found in the Ohio countryside according to the season and mixes them with responsibly-raised exotics from around the world. Jeni's ice cream are known to be less sweet and more flavorful, which both me and Dorothy has proven it true.


We ordered two studies ($4.75 USD) which consist of three tasting scoops each. The flavors we tried out were: Thai chili, Mackenzie creamery goat cheese with roasted red cherries, riesling poached pear, wildberry lavender, rhubarb rosé, mango lassi. And frankly speaking, the flavors were all so good that we had a very hard time trying to rank them. The closest conclusion we could come to was probably a 6 for mango lassi, and then 1s for all the other flavors. My personal favorite was the riesling poached pear. It really pretty much taste just like a real pear, very refreshing and cool. The first bite of the Thai chili came down with a very peanut like flavor, then the spices came around slowly. The rhubarb rosé was very interesting too, you can actually taste the rosé first and then the wine flavor came a ted later. The flavor of goat cheese in the Mackenzie creamery goat cheese with roasted red cherries absolutely stood out. It felt very different from having a bite of cheese cake in the way that it didn't feel stuffy at all. Last but not least was the wildberry lavender which flavors were once again all separated in very distinguishable layers. It almost felt like science to me, that the layers would just kick into your taste buds by a carefully timed sequence.



Sundaes and Macaroons



Other than that, Jeni's also serves sundaes and macaroons. They look big, don't they?


To summarize, Jeni's Ice Cream is definitely a must-try if you happen to be traveling around Ohio. To make things even better, Jeni's do ship out to almost all US states. Check under 'Buy Now' on their website for shipping rates.

3D蛋糕 @ The Violet Cake Shop

Type: Desserts 食甜o野


蛋糕大家就食得多喇﹐今次同大家介紹下 The Violet Cake Shop 的立體蛋糕。


Address: Located in Markham, pickup in Markham or Mississauga, delivery can be arranged at a minimal charge
E-mail: thevioletcakeshop@yahoo.com
Website: thevioletcakeshop.webs.com
Facebook: The Violet Cake Shop


愛車的朋友生日﹐女朋友為他訂了超靚的生日蛋糕。




車子是平放在灰色的大底板上的﹐師傅用四塊藏在輪胎背後的小木頭架起鋁紙盤﹐然後將車身蛋糕放在上面。車牌上寫了朋友的名字﹐車頭蓋部份微微突起﹐像極了真車的線條。車身線條齊備不特止﹐連車身手柄﹐細緻如倒後鏡也有上色! 車尾部份細節如車子型號﹐死氣喉﹐車尾燈也交足功課﹐嘆為觀止。


雖然好唔捨得﹐但係最後都係決定切開黎食。於是朋友把Z4變成開蓬版。




而這些餅﹐就通常也好看不好吃。驚喜地﹐這個餅還算相當好吃﹐沒一般餅的鬆軟﹐但帶有很香的奶和蛋味。


順道送多個大統華搞笑餅比大家。係咪一樣甘搞o野呢? 不過呢個就平好多。在 Steeles/Warden T&T 有售。

餐室內觀



Novecento 環境寬敞﹐有木椅子的四人方桌﹐也有藤椅子的多人圓桌﹐相當舒適。




甜品



這裡最有名的是西餅和意式 gelati. 這晚朋友點了 hazenut 和 raffaello gelati with affogato (topped with a shot of hot espresso and a shot of amaretto)﹐ 而台長則因先前吃得太飽的關係點了小喝 sgroppino (lemon gelato, premium vodka with chilled prosecco). Sgroppino 喝起來有點像刨冰﹐涼快好喝﹐也不太甜。



咖啡



那當然﹐來到這裡﹐少不了要嘗嘗這裡的咖啡。圖中所見是 Americano 和 macchiato.
