Chikalicious

昨天晚上在东村吃了饭，想叫个冰淇淋没叫到，胃里装甜点的那些缝隙上上下下，不得安静。朋友说，正好带你去个好地方--甜点吧。就在两条街外，十街和二大道角上，非常小，玻璃门内一览无余，一半是吧台，另一半几个小桌子和沙发。主人叫Chika, 五十多岁的日裔妇女，在吧台后面忙着切切洗洗做东西。另一个主人兼酒师Don 是个黑大汉，笑容可掬的迎上来招呼我们坐下，
我叫了个Coconut Panna Cotta with basil icecream and tropical fruit salad. Panna Cotta 介乎布丁和果冻之间，奶油，椰子味都很足而不腻，轻滑适口。九层塔冰淇淋清香爽口，配奶味重的Panna Cotta 真是妙极。热带水果色拉是精致的菠萝丁和芒果丁拌绿色的小籽，酸而香，我尝不出是甚么，猜是密猴桃籽，问chika 答是九层塔籽。朋友的strawberry parfait 也好吃，不过草莓就是草莓，没我的新鲜有趣。垫的一种柠檬水者哩非常好，冻到半流动，里面还有气泡，在舌头上刚融化尝到酸甜，就轻轻霹雳啪啦，小小的轰炸味蕾一下。

他们的甜酒选择也挺多，我们没甚么兴趣。看了周围一眼，几乎全是女孩子，少数几个男人都在喝酒 ---嗯，知道，他们觉得吃甜点是太娘娘腔的事，又不能干坐着。

Be a tourist then. Fly in this weekend and indulge yourself, pick up some hot marines, eat a lot of dessert -- New Yorkers are all out of the town this weekend and someone has to do it.

How much?

It is actually a surprisingly cheap date, prefix menu, Amuse, Choice of Dessert, and Petit Fours for $12. Small quantity, of cause. But it is truly amazing dessert, the kind you get in a top restaurant lucky enough to have a creative dessert chef. In fact, Chika worked in Gramercy Tavern before starting this.
