Another day of delicious desserts...

The Falls Rd-Greenspring-Mt. Washington area is so rife with delicious dessert foods, I'm not sure if I can ever "collect them all". But, as long as they're there, the internet exists, and I'm alive, I'll keep writing about the best ones. Or the worst ones.^[1]

Today, I'm writing about "Bonjour French Bakery & Cafe" on Fall Rd. This place is a quaint little building, adorned with cute things and drowned in purple paint. The color really makes it stand out from just being another little old house on Fall Rd. Once you drive by it, you'll probably never forget where it is... And, if you do, you'll find it again pretty easily. But I digress, as this is not called "the exteri0r dec0rati0n bl0g".

So, what does this place sell? All sorts of delicious dessert foods. They had pies, cakes, cookies, pastries - and even dog treats!

I got a delicious chocolate mousse cupcake, which was one of the most velvety soft chocolate things I've ever had. The icing part was smooth and full, and the cake part was chewy, yet mushy. But that's not even the beginning of how awesome this place is! You see, my PIFC got something so much more awesome than that.

My PIFC got some sort-of mocha dessert with whipped cream... That came in an edible chocolate tea cup.

I recommend this tiny bakery to anybody that likes delicious sweet stuff.

The Most Decadent Cake... Ever!

Do you like chocolate? I mean, do you REALLY, REALLY LIKE chocolate? If so, I have the the food for you: Triple Chocolate Brownie Cake from Fresh Market.

This is a two layer, rich, fudge-y cake. It comes with pile of rich frosting (with some chocolate chips mixed in) on top. And, to complete the ensemble, all-star dessert, it's also got some fudge-y syrup-y stuff, and some white chocolate lines for accent!

This was one powerful cake. It kicked my mouth's ass. Once we each had eaten a piece, both my PIFC and I were afraid that we wouldn't have any sorta restraint around it; it's really just that fucking good.

So, if you like rich, chocolate-y cake, have $6, and don't mind driving to Greenspring Avenue, you should check this cake out!

Fresh Market is located at the Quarry Lake Shopping Complex on Greenspring Avenue, a little over a mile south of the the Greenspring exit on 695.

When A Generic Chinese Food Location Isn't So Generic...

Anyone ever been to Hunan Chef on York Road in Lutherville/Timonium? Well, if you have, then perhaps you know what I'm talking about.

From the outside, it looks like an unassuming, typical Chinese takeout location. I'd venture to say the inside looks pretty typical, too, complete with the giant back-lit photograph of a beach-front with a giant stone structure jutting out from the forest behind it.^[1] Even the menu, in many places, is that of a generic Chinese takeout menu; all of the normal favorites find a place on Hunan Chef's menu.^[2]

Beyond that, though, we get to the nit-and-grit of it all: the food. The food here was absolutely delectable. I ordered orange chicken, and when I devoured it, it blew my fucking mind. It had a bit more kick to it than your average takeout orange chicken - it lit my mouth on fire in a good way. The chicken itself was juicy and soft, with a nice crisp coating of batter. Strewn throughout the sauce were hearty chunks of orange peel and quite a few hot peppers of some sort. Like a typical Chinese takeout, it came with some broccoli. The broccoli wasn't real anything special, but I did appreciate its crispness.

My PIFC (also known as the Worst Vegetarian Ever) ordered a "cheesesteak egg roll".^[3] Yes, that says CHEESESTEAK and EGG ROLL, folks! It contained steak, cheese, a little bit of mushroom and onions, and was absolutely delicious-looking (and actually delicious, according to her).

The price was in-line with normal Chinese takeout prices for the area, and the guy who took our order was super friendly and genuinely interested to see us there. He even let us in at 11:36, when the hours stated they closed at 11:30.
