Classic Tahitian Vanilla Crème Brulée
The creme brulee was delicious and soft. A thicker crust, which I like actually. A very generous, filling portion.
Pilon de Chocolat – bittersweet chocolate cone, peanuts, fenugreek ice cream, raisins, caramel
Fenugreek is a spice, which gives the ice cream a butterscotch-like taste. Unfortunately, I didn't get to taste the ice cream. The chocolate cone was filled with a chocolate cream, which you can't see in the picture. The first picture above, shows the orientation of the plate as it was served, but didn't make the best picture, so I rotated the plate and took another so you can see the caramel, raisins and fenugreek ice cream.
Assorted Bite-sized desserts. Amuse bouche for dessert! Espresso truffles, spiced mango gelee, and apple-honey-peanut tartlet. Unfortunately, I didn't like any of these. The espresso in the truffle was too strong for me. I'm not a mango fan, and the spicy mango isn't something my taste buds are drawn to. I'm not sure why I didn't like the tartlet. As I'm writing this, I can't even remember what it tasted like. Well, not memorable is not a good sign. One thing I really loved about this dessert plate, was the appearance of the truffles. They were just perfect!
