I'm definitely coming to America.

And ILUVAdrianaLima :persuazn: Did you know it was barely impossible to find cheesecake in France ?

I miss it sooo so much

Really, there is not one bakery, restaurant that serves it that u know of?

It's not always easy for me to get a good cake...(most cakes are too sugary!) for a party. What would you recommend?

A good Red velvet or strawberry short cake is usually not overpowering:

It's tough to get a chocolate cake or a lemon creme cake that's not overpowering..

Cheesecakes are tough- I like them but many are too sweet in my view :-?

There is but they're quite rare, not like in other places. French people dont eat cheesecake.

U cant go wrong with a great Red velvet cake. Just ask on the frosting they use, most tend not to go homemade and thus u get that overpowering sugar rush from those mass produced frosting's.

Hmm well u learn something new everyday, had no idea the French didn't have much appetite for cheesecakes.

what's a 5 homers for you, ILA?

French Apple Pie a la Mode (5 of 5 Homers)

I like a good tiramisu-

LOL that was in the back of my mind too, so give it a rating on the Homer Drool Scale.

A 4, probably. You know, the best desserts I've had were usually unplanned- haha A good dinner partner, a good restaurant, and good context can manipulate my tastes quite well

Agreed, simply because we are out of the usual norm and thats when the best chance for new flavors are introduced.

Here is another fav of mine: Strawberry Mascarpone Tart

I had a strawberry tart a few weeks ago- is it supposed to be kind of sour? the creme, that is?

Yep, some kind of citrus (usually lemon juice) is used for the filling and fruit topping.

My favorite cake is carrot cake

Lyon would know about this, too, but the Asian"Mochi" dessert is quite good- if you manage to get near a chinese or japanese restaurant I urge you to try it! (in case you haven't yet!)

It's exotic ice creams (great tea, black sesame flavor, etc.) wrapped with a coating. It works out pretty well, in my view- the coating enhances the ice cream quite well

I will have to try it when I get a chance

some xo sauce noodles with beef I cooked the other day

XO sauce = (Y)

^ that looks absolutely delicious

What about a nice piece of cheesecake ehhhh?

I LIKE cheese cake (I know I'm odd but I don't like cheese )

Haha. Are you going to come make me some dessert Cult Icon

Yep, I know this beautiful dessert But since this is way too common here in asian,

you can find it everywhere, that makes me not want to put it to my fave list

However, I do like this kind of candy, I actually wanted to introduce mochi to u guys under the Japanese section

Let me show you some more different styles of mochi

Taiwanese one:

For the Japanese style, we usually have other stuffing instead of icecream, like this:

(Greentea, red bean, peanut butter, sesame butter, sweet potato, etc.)

Me too!!!!

Oh, no.

Cheese cake, like carrot cake etc.. are american, that's why you can find them everywhere, and in Asia where the market is very opened.

...but not in France, cause these are not french desserts and it's just not common here. (dont know in Paris though, maybe there's more).

Same thing with burgers, in America you have many many brands. Here there's only McDonald's, lol.

I have to introduce you this Japanese dessert after CI posting mochi

If you know what is "Doraemon" I LOVE IT

Dorayaki

(Traditional one)

(New style - Greentea / Peanut butter)

I almost forgot snack !!!!

This is one of the Japanese snack, Takotaki. Don't want to put too many description for it, just see how "delicious" it looks like

...

yes xo sauce is (Y), but I can't get it here, so my gf has to send me from HK

it is not odd, I also don't like cheese.

luckily german cheesecakes use quark instead of cheese, even though by law quark is a type of cheese (cream cheese, which is different to regular cheese)

new york cheesecake is quite yummy
