Over Milk Bar cookies and my first viewing of Raiders of the Lost Ark the other night, Don was kind enough to drop note that Milk Bar brought out newww soft serve flavours. I stored the info in the must-eat-sweets half of my brain, and made good on it tonight.
Greg and I were supposed to meet for ONLY soft serve. But we got carried away, as often happens when it comes to sweets. Simply. No. Control. Whatsoever.
"I have a chicken to roast at home," he mentioned.
It's a good thing soft serve doesn't take up much stomach space.
We scanned the board for new items.
"Oh carrot cake! I haven't had that one yet!"
"Oh man, ok, let's try it."
"Oh and wait. The banana bread. Did you have that?"
"With green curry?"
"Yeah!"
"Let's get that one too."
And that is how we ended up with two cups, and four flavours of the new soft serve...
...the first cup twisting Graham and Malted Chocolate...
...and the second with Root Beer Float (top) and Orange Julius (bottom)...The two flavours don't "twist" together unlike the ones above, but you can still get both layered in a single serving. The root beer float is insane, it tastes exactly like a root beer float. Which sounds silly, because things should always taste as they are...they just...rarely do.
The Carrot Cake, including layers of cheesecake, milk crumbs, and streusel buttercream wasn't as exciting as the other cakes I've had in the past (pistachio cake, yes, yes :) Though no cake, however fancy or plain, can top the one from M&I International in Brighton Beach. That is, without a doubt, the ultimate carrot cake.
...and warm green curry banana bread. A surprisingly great deal at $2 for a massive hunk, it was also my favourite item tonight. It is not quite sweet and not quite savoury with the curry kick mildly rising in the end. Served hot, and very, very buttery. Fat is what I love most.
Stomachs content, our visit ended with, "I guess the chicken will have to wait another day." :)
