Au bon vieux temps: ice desserts

Been busy (and it's the rainy season), so not much running or cake, but went to the cafe in Au Bon Vieux Temp in Oyamadai (near Jiyuugaoka) to try some of the frozen desserts, which are really expensive, so I waited until I was not alone. .

These both have bites out of them. The first is chocolate, with a name something like Monse Glaci Choco Choco, for 1000 yen. It's chocolate, of course. The inside is frozen chocolate mousse, so it doesn't melt at all on the plate, even as the outer chocolate, which is maybe more a traditional ice cream, but still very hard, melts to the touch. It's good, but not as a good as great cake. 

The second is called something like Bombe ABVT, where ABVT refers to the name of the shop. This is caramel on the outside, with white maybe ice cream, yellow maybe chestnut-flavored ice cream, and a frozen pear core. I like this better and it was 800 yen, which is still steep, like all the ice desserts.

These were interesting, but I think I'll stick with regular cake. At home, yesterday and today, we finished off the other two cheese pies (baked cheese cake). When not warm, the olive oil crust is solid but with not such a strong taste; actually, it's a little salty. The tart crust one was also good, although still a little boring; it's sort of like a cookie. Both they and the cheese froze fine, which is good news, as I don't usually want to eat it all at once.
