Crème brûlée
posted by Kerry-Anne
Crème brûlée may not seem like a very South African dish, but you might be surprised to discover just how many Cape Town restaurants feature this dessert on their menu. It's almost a standard offering, in fact. Be warned, of course: not all crème brûlées are created equal, and if you're as picky about them as I am, you'd do well to interrogate the waiter about the quality of their particular dish before placing your order... I've had some sublime specimens around Cape Town, as well as some rather less-than-delicious ones.This shot was taken not at a restaurant, but at a friend's 30th birthday party on Saturday evening.
Oh, and in case anyone wants to send me gifts, yes indeed, crème brûlée IS my favourite dessert. ;-)

love creme brulee. too bad it's not that popular here
Well it's also my husbands favourite dessert and he has tried quite a few in restaurants around CT as I'm sure he will be doing so again on our next visit!
I have to admit creme brulee isn't a favourite dessert of mine (I'm more of a chocolate-person), perhaps because I hadn't taste a decent. Not until last summer - it was positively sinfully divine...:)

Cute picture, I'd love to try and make my own brulee one day.
If you are ever in Stellenbosch and in need of crème brûlée, the best always used to be at Fandango (I say "used to", because I haven't been there for some time). Second-best: l'Olive.
