| - Ever wanted a funnel cake in the dead of winter, and knew you weren't going to satisfy that craving till next summer when Wonderland opens up or the next fair rolls into town?
Probably you have because everyone loves funnel cake. Moist fried dough covered in rich creamy ice cream drizzled with fresh strawberries and chocolate sauce.....
Imagine my delight when I discovered Tea Shop 168 / Dessert 168. It's a new brand of the 168 franchise that offers bubble tea along with various desserts. I was there for bubble tea originally and found out that they also had funnel cakes on the menu. Initially I wanted to order one right away, where else could you get one in November? I then thought, "Ok, why is there funnel cake at a tea shop, how good could it be"? Despite this, I ordered a funnel cake with vanilla ice cream and strawberry sauce. They have other fruits you can choose but I think funnel cakes with strawberries are the best combo.
My funnel cake comes out, I check the batter, it's fluffy and golden.....perfect. I can't stand burnt or dark brown. Its even better then Wonderland's version. It's not oily which funnel cakes can be at times, it's more cakey and not overly sweet which is a good thing. The ice cream that came with it went well with the funnel cake, the strawberry sauce was too sweet for my liking but still was ok as long as you didn't get a lot on your fork. Now I can have funnel cake whenever I like, but I don't have to pay park admission to get it.
