I have a tendency to favour French desserts such as creme brulee, macarons and to a lesser degree, crepes. The best crepe I had was at Mont St.Michel amidst the swarm of tourists hovering around us as we wolf down our snack. Standing outside the busy restaurant, we sank our teeth into a flavourful piece of warm crepe that is light and fragrant on the palate. No extra toppings required except for a small drizzle of syrup over it, lending a touch of sweetness.
Fast forward, I have since then discovered a few cafes serving this yummy French dessert and recently became acquainted to another place that would probably be one of my places to go to when I am in the area.
We had their homemade praline ice cream which was packed full of the mild praline aroma and was not overly sweet nor bland. Highly recommend trying this out:)
Beurre caramel with mango ice cream - simplicity at it's best. The French sure do know how to utilize butter and this was a perfect example of that. Again, not overly sweet and had a lovely buttery aroma to it.
Praline and cointreau - flambee is the name of the game for a selected few types of crepes. Pick a favourite and behold, a mini flame party dancing on your crepe, which would eventually disappear, of course. Pretty yummy too although my favourite would still be the beurre caramel :p
