Simon LA Finale: You’ve never had dessert like this





Hey again,

It’s Dani from www.makeaquick.com here. Today, I bring you the finale of my experience at Simon LA restaurant, the latest venture from celebrity chef Kerry Simon. The dessert from Simon LA is so intense and exquisite, that it requires a whole separate post to itself. By this picture, you will see what I mean!

So, this dessert looks like absolutely every kids dream dessert, all at once! Well, that’s the point! Simon LA has created this eclectic dessert platter that features everything a kid could get at a candy store. It also features some American favourites! What’s the catch? Everything is homemade by the Simon LA staff.

The cookies are absolutely delicious, featuring white chocolate macadamia nut, moist chocolate chip and butterscotch chip. I saved a couple to have with my morning cappuccino, and damn it was worth it! The rice crispys, both chocolate and regular, were incomparable to most I’ve ever had. I’m not even a fan of dessert!

The sorbet is unbelievable. One was an orange strawberry combination that is extremely fresh and easily cleansed the pallet. The other is a banana version of rocky road. Both were so good, that when I had to rush off to a meeting I took both to-go so I could eat them in the car.

The only thing that I found disappointing was the donut holes. Donut holes are basically the US version of TimBits, if you’re Canadian, you know what I mean. I have yet to taste a TimBit rival, and this wasn’t even close.

The milkshakes were great and complimented the cotton candy, and tasty caramel corn. Our two favourites out of the whole dish were the chocolate cup cakes, which were made to look like Hostess Chocolate Cup Cakes. The were astounding and jaw dropping to any chocolate aficionado. They were not too rich, and had a very moist chocolate flavour. The other highlight of the dessert platter was the pink coconut cream puffs. They had a pink coconut encrusted crust, with a delicious cream filling.

This dessert platter is great to share with a couple friend! There is enough variety for everyone to be happy. In this case, I would definitely say to leave room for dessert!
