A Quest for Cheesecake!

A couple of us spent Thursday evening at a local jazz bar, called Jazz Tones. When the waitress gave us the money, we immediately decided to order cheesecake. Unfortunately, there was no cheesecake. Disappointed, we ordered bowls of ice cream--no ice cream. Giving up, I ordered a Pina Colada, but they couldn't make it: it had ice cream in it.

After all of us settled on something to eat and drink, we enjoyed the music. The singer and owner is an American ex-pat, who just recently bought Jazz Tones. Toward the end of the night, she came over to talk to us. Because she is transforming the place and changing what is offered, she tells the wait staff not to give out menus.

The next morning, we decided to find cheesecake. Sunshine Cafe, where we usually go to dinner, always has cheesecake in their display case. We went for lunch, and ended up ordering sandwiches instead because... there was no cheesecake. There were cupcakes, carrot bread, and lemon coconut cake, but the delicious cranberry cheesecake that is always sitting there was not sitting there.

At this point, not finding cheesecake was no longer an option. We took a cab to Koala and headed straight for the bakery. There it was, with a toasted cream coating and graham cracker crust. With our cheesecake and a small tub of ice cream, we checked out.

Back in the dorms, we decided to watch A Knight's Tale to commemorate the end of our quest. We sat down with our ice cream and cheesecake and took a bite... it was not true cheesecake. Instead, it was similar to a sponge cake, not bad, but not cheesecake. Oh well. We finished our movie and went to bed, since Saturday was going to come early.
