easy dessert ii

half day today... took cos signed up for easy dessert class. met a long time no see and hard to meetup friend who just returned to singapore. very very long time no see fren. not much changes still like to argue with me and more to tease cos of my size now comparison to when i was 21... as years pass not only age ascending but on the scale too! glad to have met up and it be for a long time till we meet again.

rushed to holland v for lesson. with lots of courage cos i find it difficult to make the first move to approach the chef owner of the school. but i really need to know... so i found a perfect quiet timing when she was not busy, silence in the class and approached her. I find her intimidating but she is nice after she nicely and kindly shared her answer with me. Think she was surprise cos so far no one mentioned anything about the poached pears. I really like the pears. Told her i liked pears and ate a pear tart in Nice which i loved so much! she must be surprise to hear Nice. But that was a pear poached in white wine. With her advice i hope to make my pear tart sometime soon... i want my own kitchen! i wana do anything i wan in my own kitchen! its always easier to dirty own place and not mum's or mil's... glad i talked to her.

today's lesson mostly chocolate. chocolate tart, chocolate pots, chocolate mousse, creme brulee, sticky date toffee pudding and eggnog. like the tart best. like last week's lesson better. but was good to see how she does the creme brulee but was a little too sweet. and there were 3 sas teachers who were late for class cos they headed straight after school which ended 3.15pm and as it was raining they were very late!

menu for today

chocolate pots which i yet to try. took the one that was favoured mint. hope it will be good. looks very thick. like the presentation in espresso cups and shotglass. if its good i will do this someday! haha when is someday? i wonder.

chocolate mousse in a HUGE bowl. bitter choco and i mean bitter. was thick and but too bitter the choc is really good stuff but dun know if its was bcos ate the creme brulee which was too sweet for me that affected the taste...

chocolate tarlets and presentation of mousse in martini glass. creme brulee texture was soft and the caramelised top was cripsy but too sweet!

sticky date toffee pudding was ok nicer than the pudding i eat at hotel buffets. dun think many of my friends or family will like this very much cos of its moist texture. some may feel its like eating uncook cake? not many that i know of like to even try puddings.

after class went into an interesting shop and bot some xmasy stuff for kidos and i myself love the things in there and managed to get 2 pairs of glasses for myself. like them lots!
