Sweet Tour : Choux

All photos by Dee at Sweet Scarlett

This is my first sweet tour.

And i feel like choux's in. So i went to Beard Papa's at Pondok Indah Mall 2, South Jakarta.

I was bought two of their variations of Choux.

The first one is the classic one, Vanilla cream.

Vanilla Cream. Damn good! So delicious. Very natural vanilla taste.The texture of the filling 90 % perfect ! I love the natural - not very sweet taste of this choux.

Green Tea Choux.I guess this is my fav ! The

greentea flavour was not very strong enough but still give the green tea slightly bitter after taste.I love this since it's not too sweet, less sugar i guess.

Probably one of Beard Papa's Choux that i will buy again someday.

Heaven ! For me spooning the creamy cream brulee in to my mouth always feel like heaven. Hyperball? Yes. But damn it's true.

Eating creme brulee is like licking chocolate mousse. Very soft, tender yet silky and velvety. Giving high satisfy feeling. Close to orgasm. Hyperball ? No.

For people who's got sweet tooth and love this kind of dessert would say the same. But how ever the opinion, i will always adore this humble queen of dessert...Cream Brulee.

This is the recipe from my very best cream brulee. Enjoy.

Sometimes I get so strawberry in. wanna taste their beautiful acid yet refreshing.
After all, this so exotic-red fruit was so perfect in to any kind of desserts. Yeah .. not all. But strawberry and cream always a perfect marriage.

The best strawberry dessert in my sweet opinion was (always) Strawberry Shortcake. But in Japanese style. I don’t very in to American style that using shortcake (sweet pastry dough) as a a base. In Japanese style their using very light, spongy and creamy sponge cake. The cream usually Chantilly cream, even u can always change it with plain whipped cream, as you like it to be. Another version is strawberry cake. Still using sponge cake as a base and top, sandwiched between mousselin cream (mixed vanilla pastry cream and plain buttercream) and halved strawberries. Glazed with strawberry coulis/jelly. Its so chic ! I tell you. But it’s more heavy in taste than strawberry shortcake.

But For some easy refreshing snack for your afternoon treat probably chocolate coating strawberries is the perfect treats for you.You just need washed fresh strawberries, melted dark chocolate and white chocolate. Put each of strawberry in to melted dark chocolate.Decor with white chocolate.Let it set. Just like that. The taste? Don't ask. Delicious and also refreshing. I ate 5 ... err ... maybe more ...
