想飛 I WANT TO FLY

Finally I had the chance to revisit one of my favorite dessert shops Chikalicious in Manhattan. The shop was closed on my last night before I flew back to Taiwan 2 years ago, and I had to go back to Taiwan with regret. So this place is definitely a must go for me.

Chikalicious is a small dessert bar which features a prix fixe 3 course dessert that comes with Amuse (similar to the appetizer in a formal meal, it is usually gelato), a choice of menu (the main dessert), and Petite Fours (the last dessert) for US$12. By sitting at the bar you can see how the dessert chefs prepare our dessert, and it is quite a performance. You won't be having the same thing because from time to time the chefs try to change the dessert menu, so it is also quite an adventure for you don't usually know what you will get. Expect to have a 30 min wait because the shop is really popular!

The Amuse: vanilla sorbet and pumpkin cubes


Main dessert: brown sugar cream and grapefruit sorbet


Main dessert: steam rice pudding (I don't recall what the name is)


Main dessert: warm chocolate tart with red wine sauce (this one is always on the menu)


Petite Fours
