My sweet dinner

It's no secret that I have a pretty big sweet tooth, and have no problems eating desserts as a regular meal. I believe that the desserts menu is what really sets a restaurant and/or cafe apart, is usually what I remember the most about a meal. So once in awhile, CharK will indulge me and agree to some unconventional meals.

After running some errands at Festival Walk, I wanted to try Sweet-O-logy a Japanese-style cafe. As the name suggests, the cafe focuses on desserts like souffles, waffles, and soufflé. But interestingly, they also serve all-day breakfast and other light meals like sandwiches and pasta.

The cafe has a "European street cafe" atmosphere and so they seating is limited. But even on a Friday night, the turn over is pretty fast. CharK and I waited for maybe 20 minutes for a table compared to other Cafe's which had nearly double the lines.

The meal was definitely worth the wait. I really enjoyed the chestnut cream honey toast. Basically it's thick pieces of lightly fried toast that's encrusted in a layer of honey/sugar. The toast is served with a scoop of Mövenpick vanilla bean ice cream. The whole dessert is also sprinkled with blueberries and hazel, and almonds.

CharK also found something he liked on the menu, the English breakfast. Although, one complain he had was that fries were served instead of the tater tots as listed on the menu. But the apple tea that was ordered was a refreshing drink for the hot summer night.

The two orders were more than enough for the two of us for dinner. So it was pretty impressive to see that many of the other tables were able to order at a mains plus at desserts per person. Maybe it's the summer heat, but overall I think our appetite has reduced over since Spring.
