So this is how the chocolate tasting plate turned out! I need to work on my creative presentatio of food I reckon! It looked a little too "proper"/"too straight"! Anyhow, the most interesting was the chocolate brulee - as I got to use the blowtorch to caramelise the top - you can't really tell from here as this was the "before" shot - however I think I shall have to practice as even when I used it, there was a thin layer of hardened sugar but it wasn't brown - I think I needed to sprinkle on more sugar and maybe I needed to burn it more! Anyhow who knows the technique, please let me know! :P
The brulee wasn't too bad - but not smooth enough despite being sieved through a muslin cloth! :((( The flavour was really nice and chocolatey!
Chocolate tart - oh my... the chocolate is really every chocolate lover's dream... it was just full of chocolate goodness.. and very smooth too... the pampus pastry was a little odd this time though, it seemed to take forever to heat up!!! :P
Enjoy a piece of a chocolate or chocolate in some form this week! A bit of chocolate can work wonders!!! :)

your creme brulee is chocolate flavoured is it?? If it is, probably you can't tell the caramelisation clearly coz of the color of the chocolate. Am i making sense?? HEehheh

Hahaha yes you make sense but still I think I needed to torch it a bit longer! O well! Next time! Yep the brulee was chocolate flavoured... actually it is really smooth but it doesnt look as smooth as the restaurant ones!!! :P
