Hey, thanks for clicking by today. How the heck are you? Ready for summer? Yessiree, this week end marks the unofficial start of summer. Yesterday here in Cornwall it reached more than 30 C...quite a change from the -30C we experienced a couple times during the winter. Help yourself to an ice-presso and a virtual treat, why don't'cha? Y'know, nothing heralds summer more than ice cream. Well, here's the absolute king of ice cream wonders...
Cafe Olympic, a small restaurant in Nagasaki, Japan, is
better known as ‘Parfait Heaven’. And for good reason – they serve a
variety of jumbo-size parfaits that range in height from 1.5 ft. to a
whopping 4 ft. tall.
The tallest parfait, the Nagasaki Dream Tower (120 cm), is
filled with all kinds of wonderful things – ice cream, ice cream cones,
chocolate cake, sherbet, soft serve ice cream, fruit, chiffon cake,
coffee jello, whipped cream, corn flakes and even a slice of
cheesecake.
All these ingredients and more are stuffed into an extremely
large parfait glass and topped off with Olympic Rings, to match the
name of the restaurant and also mark the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The sinful
dessert is served with a giant spoon to reach all the sugary goodness
down to the bottom of the glass.
Funny...they didn't mention how much that parfait tower costs. Japanese prices can be horrendous so I can imagine what this costs. Five young dudes are shown in the picture. I think they are going to need at least a similar number of 'dudettes' if they're ever going to finish the humungous ice cream treat!
See ya, eh!
Bob
