So this was my first time trying a rice cake from a dessert and sandwich shop we stopped by on our Sunset park trip. The texture was gooey and flimsy, but also has some stability to it so I didnt really mind. It had just the right amount of sweetness to it which I enjoyed because some desserts can get get overwhelmingly sweet and undesirable.

So Mimi Cheng’s Dumplings located on 179 second Ave (between 11th and 12th) provided me with this lovely desert of Dulce de Leche dumpling. It was one of the BEST deserts I’ve had in life. The dumpling itself was crispy on the outside with cold ice-cream on the inside which was heaven once you bite into it. The caramel was layered on light which made it not overwhelmingly sweet.

So I’ve tried smoked quail with vadouvan eggplant, caper raisin puree from Burke & Wills located at 226 W 79th st, New York. It reminded me of fried chicken wings, but VERY salty. I loved the way the puree complimented and balanced out the salt.
