Now that we have tackled the savoury food, let’s proceed to the sweet stuff as I headed over to the Dessert Station which was also next to our table; how convenient. The desserts were placed on marble counter surrounding a centre pillar.

I have not had Basque Burnt Cheesecake before so this is my first time trying. The burnt and caramelized surface hides a creamy interior that was so rich, creamy and velvety. This just begged to be eaten more than once and I did just that.

Beside it was the Pecan Tart topped with plenty of toasted pecan nuts and a cape gooseberry. The brown sugar filling that holds the nuts together was not overly sweet making this a plus point. I did not try the Carrot Cake so I can’t comment on it.

The New York Cheesecake was not as rich and cheesy as the Basque Burnt Cheesecake so if cheese is not your favorite thing, give this a try. Gave this Cream Caramel Custard a miss too as my tummy was almost at full capacity but my “son” took a scoop of it.

Fairytail crack! It’s that time of the day!

I think that mystogan is just as crazy as the rest of the guild but with ✨DRAMA✨

Cause if you think about Jellal, he was so fucking dramatic. And technically edolas is supposed to be opposite, but adding Mystogan being just the most crazy person ever would be opposite and hilarious.

Like everyone thinks he’s normal and calm because of his interactions with Wendy and Erza, but in reality he’s punching clients because they said something dumb and is jumping off cliffs just cause. I wouldn’t be surprised if that man met a dragon and just decided to fight it. Like, that would be so funny.

He has serious mode and then he has regular mode. He’s in serious king mode when he’s in Edolas and with Wendy. Erza’s whole thing was for the drama, obviously. But then when he’s doing his jobs he’s just the wildest, sluttiest man ever.

Jellal is walking down the street one day and an old one night stand mystogan had recognizes Jellal and starts talking and flirting and he’s just so confused. He’s never met this person and they’re acting like they’ve seen each other naked.

And the best part is, no one knows. Everyone thinks he was the most normal person in the guild. Except for Laxus. He knows. And he also knows that no one will ever believe him when he says that he once saw Mystogan throw a pig at a bad guy they were fighting (cause how else would he know what he looked like if they didn’t work together at least once?). Mystogan could hula hoop for like three hours while sword fighting on a plank and even though it’s true, no one would ever believe Laxus.

Like how funny is that? Everyone is talking one day about Mystogan and Laxus can’t say anything because he knows that the bastard was the best goddamn actor in the world. But, Jellal’s been dealing with the consequences of Mystogan’s actions for a few years now. The two share a look. They both understand. That man left a legacy and only two people know about it.

Apple-Pecan Tart

(Via Our Kitchen Sink)

Recipe from the New York Times

Ingredients:

1 1/3 cups flour, more for rolling

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

10 tablespoons cold unsalted butter

1 large egg yolk plus 3 large eggs

2 medium tart apples, peeled, cored and sliced

2 tablespoons light brown sugar

1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped pecans

1 cup maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup heavy cream, whipped, for serving

Yield: 8 to 10 servings.

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place flour, sugar and salt in food processor. Pulse to blend. Dice 8 tablespoons butter, place in food processor and give it about 20 quick pulses, until butter is in tiny lumps. Beat egg yolk with 4 tablespoons ice water. Open cover of machine and sprinkle in egg mixture. Pulse briefly. Ingredients should start to clump together to form a dough; do not allow a ball of dough to form. If dough is too dry to hold together, add another teaspoon or two of water and pulse again.

2. Transfer dough mixture to lightly floured work surface and gather together to form into a flat, smooth disk. Roll to a circle about 13 inches in diameter and fit into a 10-inch fluted tart pan. Line with foil, weight with pastry weights and bake 10 minutes, until dry-looking. Remove foil and weights, prick bottom of pastry in a few places and bake until golden, about 20 minutes more. Remove from oven.

3. While pastry is baking melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet. Add apples and sauté over medium-high heat until lightly browned. Stir in brown sugar, then add pecans. Sauté another minute. Remove from heat and spread in baked pastry. Beat eggs, stir in syrup and vanilla and pour over apples and pecans.

4. Bake 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake until set and browned on top, about 25 minutes more.

To make ahead: Bake tart; let cool completely. Wrap pan and all in plastic, then foil. Freeze. Thaw 2 hours, then bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes and allow to cool 30 minutes before serving with whipped cream.

Pastry can be mixed, formed into a disk, wrapped in plastic and refrigerated up to 2 days in advance of using. Let it come to room temperature 1 hour before rolling. Prebaked pastry, cooled, not filled, can also be frozen in pan, wrapped in plastic, for up to 1 week.

oh musakhkhan (to be clear no one spells it like that except for freaks who use words such as “mistransliterated”) is phenomenal btw. I think it might be the best food. like it might be planet Earth’s best food.

Sis bought these Almond Frangipane Tarts from her office’s canteen caterer. Price had gone up to S$1 each plus the tart’s height went shorter. :( Nonetheless, they are still crispy if toasted in oven for about 10 minutes with a nutty fragrance.
