finally weekend. you worked so hard this week that you didn't even eat your dinner for the last 5 nights. not that you go to sleep starving but you had enough munches in the late afternoon way into late evening at the office. hence dinner is not necessarily.
you had enough sleep too. you slept well, way into 9am. then you take your time to visit another market but that will be another story.
for now, you just want to indulge in the imagery of the sweetness that you tasted this afternoon at sloane square.
it took you awhile to located the outlet, but once you're there everything just flow...
it's a charming dessert shop, serving french inspired pastries and selling different kinds of chocolate related products. it's really cozy in there and for the entire duration that you were there, it's feel like a meeting point. the staffs know most of the clients. and people just drop by for a cup of hot chocolate and small munch.
you are probably the first one starting on the dessert bar menu. you decided to pamper yourself and had your dessert menu with lauren pierre extra brut champagne. you worked so hard, so you deserved it.
first, start with the rhubarb and custard ice cream with hazelnut crumble... the sourness from rhubarb balances the ice cream and the crunch from hazelnut is a welcome ^^
greek yoghurt with a spiced plum compote and chocolate granita. this look like a morning breakfast but definitely a luxury one, plum and chocolate work wonder too!
this is as clean as you could get...
caramelized apple tarte tatin with vanilla ice-cream, this is good but nothing extra ordinary...
the finale, chocolate raspberry macaron with raspberry sauce.... it's fine
perhaps this is your fourth course, you are overdose already and hence the thickness of chocolate cream is a little overwhelmed....
the petit fours...
the chocolate truffle, the lemon chocolate entremet and a matcha raspberry macaroon
the champagne works wonder to wipe away the different sweetness and you really enjoy your afternoon time there. alone. yet you're like accompanied by the entire neighborhood, there's enough things to entertain you while you sample your courses in between.
and this is literally your lunch. you swap your lunch with dessert. writing this now, you better sink back to your last bit of work, so that you could have your tomorrow work hassle free day.
missing lowland, but there are just moments like these where you have to stay over the weekend, not your own will but that's the best for the work situation.
