There's not really much to say about this Asian bakery on the corner of 39th - it's a really short walk from the hotel that we stayed in, and has awesome desserts. Even more awesome bubble tea.
LoML bought a slice of Japanese cheesecake at the counter person's recommendation, as well as a slice of tiramisu. And I decided to try a bubble tea (mainly because I can't seem to find a decent place in Baltimore to get it - we don't have any kind of Asian enclave there. Which sucks. But anyway...). Horlick bubble tea - I've never heard of horlick, but hey, I got it simply for the name. It sounds dirty. (Hey, I have a dirty mind...)
We liked the Japanese cheesecake. It's a LOT more airy and light, with a lot less sugar - it doesn't sit in your stomach like a lead weight. I sure wish we could get that at home.
LoML says the tiramisu was good and compares to the one that he makes at home, though he did say that the coca powder topping was a little too much for his personal taste. All you have to do is blow it off, though - so, no big deal.
The horlick tea was.... wow, it was interesting. It's basically a milk tea with little... licorice-tasting bubbles in it, that's the best description I can come up with, and even that really doesn't suffice. You'd have to try this for yourself, I think. It was delicious, though - I wasn't used to the taste at first, but the more I drank of it, the better it became.
I wish we could take them home with us, because Baltimore is in desperate need of GOOD Asian cuisine. This is really good Asian cuisine.
God, we're going to miss New York.....
