Dessert 1 - Poires Belle-Helene


"Beautiful Helen pears" were invented in Paris in the 19th century and were named after an opera by Offenbach. What a romantic introduction for this French dessert par excellence, a true classic, found in at least (this is a guess) half of the restaurants of the Hexagone. It only takes a few minutes (maybe seconds!) to assemble this dish if you use ready-made ingredients; it is actually not much longer to prepare half of them from scratch (the poached pears and the melted chocolate).

Dessert 2 - Mille-feuilles


Traditionally, a Mille-feuille is made up of three layers of puff pastry, alternating with two layers of cream pâtissière, but sometimes whipped cream, or jam. The top is usually glazed with icing or fondant in alternating white (icing) and brown (chocolate) strips, and combed.

Newbie Blogging

Today is my first day blogging. I don't even know why i blog but i said to myself why not giving it a try. So... yeah i really got nothing to write yet but i'll just talk about today(meaning later). Well in the morning i have to wake up early to fry the curry puffs and also get ready for my church duty.
I am adc-ing pastor, the word ADC (Aide-DE-Camp) is a french word meaning personal assistant to a high rank person.
After that i'll coach badminton in Setia Alam under a former world number 1 badminton player long ago. His name is Han Jian, Han Jian took up badminton late at the age of 16 and was still able to reach the top when he was about 26, about 10 years of training! I must say he is an exception and many of China's aspirants receive their training at about half that age nowadays.
