Creme Brulee

By | Foodie, Yummy! | No Comments


Whenever I order Creme Brulee ( French for “burnt cream ), I always know what to expect but what i look forward to is the presentation and the chef’s creativity in adding something to it to make it more interesting.

So far the best in both taste and presentation is the Classic Creme brulee at the Eiffel Tower restaurant at the Paris Hotel, Las Vegas. It had this edible pastry fan on top of white chocolate surrounded by mixed fresh berries ( which I love! ) and generously sprinkled with confectioner’s sugar. It was absolutely heavenly!  Visit the restaurants website to discover other more delicious desserts.  

The Trio Creme brulee at the Compass Restaurant at Hyatt Hotel Phoenix, Arizona had a nice presentation for a trio.  Usually in a duo or trio, they just come in separate mini bowls.

We were invited to celebrate with Patrick at his beautiful home. Unfortunately I did not bring my better camera and so I used my small one which ran out of battery so i was only able to take a few photos. HAPPY BIRTHDAY PATRICK!

Never Lost

 It is also a directory..when you are driving and suddenly get the urge to eat in Taco Bell,  just go to the yellow pages and look for the nearest Taco Bell.  You need to pay a little more to get this gadget but it is WORTH IT!  NEVER LEAVE WITHOUT IT!
