i never order deserts but sometimes i have to make an exception: OUTMUTHA****INSTANDING funnel cake @ ESM. absolutely worth the detour just to order this $5.95 bones cheap desert to transport you back to those amazing childhood memories at canada's wonderland. it is a SHAME that not many resto's serve funnel cake. dough squirted through a tube in hot oil, then dressed beavertail style with cinnamon + sugar + ice cream with caramel + chocolate sauce. such a dish loaded with tradition, evokes the most pleasant memories, hot-cold differential, varying textures... this is worthy of michelin status LMAO!!!!

I've been wanting to try this ever since MelodySoul mentioned that ESM offers it. Last night, following a relatively light meal at Taste of Japan in Bells Corners, was the perfect opportunity.
In contrast to what you get at Paramount Canada's Wonderland, the ESM version lacks soft serve and whole strawberries. However, the hard ice cream and strawberry sauce are still very good. And the whipped cream and caramel sauce are welcome additions. All in all, a fantastic dessert for once in a while. It would be great for sharing but I ate the whole thing. ;-)

Many cultures seem to have desserts that are similar to funnel cake -- in which a batter is drizzled into hot fat to form a flat and round but intricately patterned "cracker." Then they are dredged in rose water or honey syrup or icing sugar. Oh yum!
