creme brulee

I’ve always wanted to make creme brulee but for whatever reason I didnt! So last Vday Hubby and I had dinner at Pearl bar and dining( Bellevue square) and for dessert I ordered their mocha creme brulee and it was so good that I promised myself I’m gonna make this at home! Off we went to the grocery store and home depot to get the necessary “gadget”, hello blowtorch!!!

so excited to try other creme brulee recipe!

so expensive,next time i will just use vanilla extract

mixing the cream gradually to the egg mixture

looks so yummy already..need to be patient coz will take a while to cool them then 4-5 hours to chill in the ref!

little messy! but we are happy with the result!

We are happy with the result of our first creme brulee making adventure! I cannot wait to try other recipes like the coffee creme brulee and triple chocolate creme brulee!

z tejas lunch@bellevue!!

Hubby wanted to repair his Bose headphones(thanks to Riley!!) so were off to Bellevue Square and decided to stop at Z’Tejas for a quick lunch! We are not “lunch” people so we only got appetizers. We like it that way:)

chips with 3 sauces,love the cheese dip!

After the yummy lunch, my sweet husband had to stop at my fave popcorn store! gotta get my cheddar cheese popcorn:)

Calamari Queen!!

I chose the nickname “calamari queen” because my husband finds it catchy. I do like to eat calamari but rarely prepare it because it can be a little laborious.
