Village Tart's apple turnover with bacon vanilla ice cream - NYCFoodGuy.com

Thank you Pichet Ong.  Thank you for being willing to take risks when it comes to dessert.  And thank you for constantly reinventing sweet tooth satisfaction.  Your apple turnover with bacon vanilla ice cream at Village Tart offers so many varieties of awesome.  My spoon dissects the flaky, buttery pastry shell revealing fresh slices of crunchy apple coated in just enough gooey cinnamon.    Invisible salt crystals coat the surface of the pastry, surging to the front of my palate before the vanilla ice cream’s sweetness seizes control.  But an uprising of smokey top notes is surfacing, a prelude to the return of salt complements of crispy bits of bacon.  Every bite is a surprise, flavors seamlessly intersecting, gliding past each other closely without colliding.
