TL;DR: must go !
For everybody else read my review it was writing itself.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Stellar reviews made us curious about this place and since we love ice cream it was a must visit for us. Had lunch nearby and thought to have a small desert here, but boy let me tell you how things turned out.
First look got me interested already as an old Benz was parked outside.
Clearly an eye magnet, but I knew I was at the right place already.
The place had history that was clear, we did a quick thinking and went to sit inside, immediately you can spot what's going on as the walls, all of them covered with writing from tourists. Saying thanks in all the worlds languages. A person approached us, foreign in appearance so I think this might be the owner. We got seated. Sat down in a sofa facing the street, had leaned back so I can "study" the markings on the walls looking for that familiar flag of ours. Nowhere to be seen. Seemed like an instant and we are presented with the choices.
I went for the passions fruit ICEBERG, wifey for the pancakes with mango topping.
Owner dressed in white disappeared with our order in the kitchen for a brief moment before hurrying out to take care of the other guests sitting in his cafe. His movement was very quick, almost erratic in nature but that is a good signal. It means he's busy and busy means business. While looking in all the directions to spot our home, I notice a lot of Japanese symbols on the walls but also far away places from many continents. I will not spoil you the fun of discovery and move onto the order that gets presented to us. First wifey gets a wooden plate with pancakes on it topped with smooth yellow sauce topped with mint. While I'm busy investigating the pancakes
I glimpse a giant ICEBERG floating my way.
Next to it, I get a bowl with passion fruit sauce and a good advise from the owner to take the spoon and let it drip on the ice mountain as the dish is called for a very good reason. He wishes us "bon appeti" and we dig in. My wife is no stranger to sweet stuff, she immediately says how great the pancakes are. I'm letting the gold sauce with black dots drop from the spoon on the white mountain, first spoon goes right in and I feel the delicious combination of ice cream, milk and passion fruit sauce melt together in my mouth. Fast forward a few moments, we switch the plates and get to taste that pancakes and the area stunner!
Not sure what or why it was so delicious but it instantly made my day and we just came from visiting Angkor Wat!
You could call it the cherry on top of the shake or a finish to a great half day. After a few more bites wifey wants back her order. For a reason I hesitate to give it back but I want to conquer the mountain Ao we switch. Spoon after spoon I try my best but it seems there's still plenty left. Holding my course like the Titanic I'm nearly finished with the iceberg but at a cost of almost fainting into a delirious state. I look at my wife and we are like:
Worth it!!
I lean my had back and continue to look through the scribbles on the walls and outside on the street.
Owner comes to ask us how we like it and we answer that this needs to be shared on social. We start talking and he asks where we are coming from. He takes our plates and vanishes behind a door. We are ready to pay and leave but then he comes out and says thank you in our language, which is spoken only by a fraction on the global population. We are in shock, how did he?! What is happening? OK?! care to explain? So he asked his wife to google the thank you in Slovak ;) she comes out and says thanks in Slovak as well.
At this point it's surreal and we are amazed by the hospitality of the couple.
Before we leave we leave our mark on the wall, pay with an extra tip for a tasty meal and a special experience.
