After our lovely supper at Asahi, we headed over to Dessert Sinsations to satisfy our sweet tooth(s). Luckily, it also happens to be CiaoWinnipeg's ChocolateFest, and so, we chose two of their chocolate specials to share: the Rolo torte and the Chocolate Amaretto cheesecake. Both were exceedingly decadent, and I am happy that Colleen and I decided to share the slice of torte.
The slice of torte was more generous than that of the cheesecake and the multiple layers of chocolate goodness presented a challenge. The layers of chocolate cake nearest to the cream were moist and tasty, but the outer layers were just a tad dry. The layer of chocolate ganache was heavenly but quickly became too much for our tastebuds, especially in combination with the equally rich icing. The Rolo bits were lovely to come across and the drizzle of caramel over the plate provided a nice dipping sauce for the drier pieces of cake.
Colleen indulged in a Long Island Iced Tea for $3.95 (the day's special), while our ChocolateFest specials were $5 a slice. We enjoyed ourselves and the lovely service (she didn't charge us the minimum $5/person since it was fairly slow) and vowed to return to have a meal. The table next to us had a mound of French fries that smelled heavenly.
