NYDC, Holland Village
We passed on dessert at Michelangelo's because we were all hot, sweaty and bothered, being given a table at the outdoor terrace.But, we still wanted dessert, and so, we walked across to NYDC at Holland Village for a sweet treat in comfortable air-conditioned surroundings. Or so we thought. The air-conditioning at NYDC was obviously wonky that day, and it was later confirmed by the staff, so we still ended up hot and bothered. Ah well, that's Murphy's Law isn't it?
We got a couple of desserts to share amongst ourselves so we could spread the consequential guilt around.
The Pick Me Up ($7.20), which is really just a creative name for what we know as tiramisu, is a layered creation of mascarpone, Kahlua-soaked lady's fingers drenched with espresso and chocolate. This is loaded with cocoa powder, which contains caffeine, so I guess it does "pick you up". NYDC's version wasn't as moist or as fluffy as we'd like, the liberal dusting of cocoa powder, the lack of "soaking" of the lady's fingers, and the shortfall of mascarpone made this disappointingly dry.
We got our favourite, That Boney Cake ($11.80 9.80), which, on the other hand, was a hit as usual. A huge slice of rich chocolatey Elmer Fudge cake was served warm with creamy macadamia nut ice-cream and an additional scoop ($3) of double chocolate chip ice-cream. Indulgent, decadent and so yummy.
Greedy us were hit with a case of the munchies and so we ordered a portion of the Brooklyn Wings ($8.80), deep fried drumlets and wings brushed with a paprika-spiked orange cajun dip. This was nice, chicken was well-marinated and juicy and the dip was delectably piquant, peppery and sweet.
