Ben's (Closed)

Sundaethis dish is the sundae. Don't mistaken this sundae as the same as the one at mc donald's. It is defintely not. This sundae is a cheesecake and caramel in a glass. It is not an ice-cream. The cheesecake is delicious and they are very cheesy. The caramel matches the cheesecake too. continue reading

It is never too late and too full for desserts!Too poor their pavlova is . Too much of CREAM sandwiched with meringue between each layer as you can see on the photo obviously. It was like eating cream more than a pavlova.The Macadamia Cheesecake Sundae is in a generous portion so 2 persons can share if you want to go for some desserts after dinner. There are some cut-up cheesecake inside, combined with vanilla ice-cream until it filled to the brim, also with some crunchy macadamia nuts and top with a drizzle of caramel sauce on it. So tempting! I am probably going to die after having my first scoop.Anyway, you still have a lot of choices because there are variety of desserts on the menu definitely a dessert lovers' favorite hangout hot spot! continue reading
