Homemade desserts

This was third time I made creme brulee but this time for one batch I didn't put them in ramekins. Instead I put it in a baking square dish. Use a cartoon of eggs all in one day to make it. I don't think I ever will use so many eggs in a day.

Creme Brulee in progrees in the oven Was a bit worried if was going to be cooked evenly.


After around 35mins in the oven it was cooked but somehow I ended up with cracks.

The end result was good except someone had already took chunks out of it before I put the sugar in top. It doesn't look as professional at the restaurant ones since I don't have one of those guns to put a nice solid suagry top so putting in the oven was the best I could do.


Green tea ice-cream sundae with red bean. Credit to my family friend who loves baking cakes :p.The green team ice-cream was homemade while there was a break in playing poker :P.

Gelato stop number 2 this year Gelatomassi @ Newtown

After searching for Gelatomassi at Newtown for about 10mins finally found it opposite Dendy Cinemas. Was greeted by the owner introducing the banana spilt sundae but we were too busy looking at the flavours. After Bella Gelati I have the expectation that good gelato shops stock at least 3 or 4 unique flavours. I was a little dissapointed to find only watermelon and cherry ripe.









With my love for chocolate I had try the Belgian chocolate which look so smooth and before you taste you know is going to be nice. Pistachio Nut was very nice it retained its nutty taste while able to be sweet enough to be not overpowering. Watermelon tasted very fruity but the after taste was a bit too sweet.

Grower's Market at Pyrmont Bay Park update 1

Finally after a 2 month wait Grower's Market is back. Was going to go December but didn't ended up going. Arrived at around 9 o'clock but had to wait for my friend who had a card for free parking at Starcity. First time at the markets walked around too much without buying much until it was too late the peaches was so sweet and tasted so fresh. " you see it you buy it " ( said by the store owner of the peach and apple store). Update more about it soon.




Ended buying chocolate and cocount cake , pistachio with something I can't remeber cake hee , chocolate brioche and walnut and honey pancake (honey was so very sweet)
$10 for 2 I prefer the Raspberry & Apple not as sweet.
