While trying to decide on the dessert for the evening I managed to catch Head Maid, Chef and manager, Pikkane for a little chat about the work and the place.
Of course, I ordered what the chef recommended. Alpaca milk chocolate muffins with a fluffy cream top and sprinkled candy beads, and I added a mug of hot chocolate to the order. Why not go mad with the chocolate while I was at it.
As mentioned before, the wait was a little long, but it was busy - so maybe take this into consideration if you decide to visit, don't be impatient, quality takes time, and quality is what I got served.
Not long after Head Chef, Head Maid, and Manager, Pikkane showed up back at our table. A mug of hot chocolate and a plate with the biggest muffin I ever seen in my life. And I have seen a few muffins.
The hot chocolate, as expected by, now was to perfection. Milky, sweet, a hint of vanilla, and unlike it's cousin, the hot cocoa, far easier to drink due the milk and sugar, leaving you with less of a bitterness than you get from a mug of hot cocoa.
The muffin. Light, the muffin. The fluffiness, the buttery creaminess mixed with the milk and chocolate, the way the flavours and sweetness spreads all over your palate makes you reminder your first kiss. Only, you can never have a second serving of your first kiss - that time is behind you - but this muffin? you can have more.
Oh right, the competition:
Ahem. I nearly forgot, blessed by amazing food and almost dazed. While I was eating my dessert and chatting with the Head Chef, Mel had left our table to spectate the drinking championship downstairs. She missed dessert. But she did get to see alliance and horde competing in a
-somewhat- friendly drinking competition. Lined up was vulpera, trolls, orcs, a tauren and a human. After a series of various drinks only one person emerged victorious. Emiliënne, a blackhaired human woman. Congratulations to her!
Conclusion:
For me, this was one of the highlights of a stressful week. I felt safe, I felt pampered, cared for, and I got my belly full of amazing food. Give the place a visit, it is located off the coast of Tol Barad, in a quaint little village.
As head maid and head chef Pikkane, who is also a priest, said: May my cookings keep misfortuous days at bay, and keep illness away!
