A cup of souffle with the gals

We have planned on getting together to try out this new fancy resto in Seminyak area for some time, but never get down to it because one reason or another. Mine was mainly because the place is very fancy, it just doesn’t feel right to just casually go there. If there’s something to celebrate, that would justify it.

So we finally agreed to go this weekend. M sure was nice, typical resort hang out place, laid back setting but still hip on the selection of interior that create nice ambiance, add with a view of paddy field, which was surely peaceful.

We each ordered soufflé, for myself it was pistachoco soufflé. We were warned that it would take at least 25 mins for them to make but lo and behold, when they finally brought it the presentation itself was certainly worth the wait. Pretty plumpy soufflé covered with what I suspected to be choco powder, next to a tiny cup of pistachio sauce, then whip cream sprayed with more choco powder and shorbet of vanilla sitting on a slice of marmalade.

On one side it made my mouth water, but on the other hand it’s just so pretty I didn’t have the heart to puncture the soufflé so I can pour pistachio and start enjoying the taste in my mouth. But the inevitable happened, and my the first bite was exhilarating. A perfect dessert for a nice cozy afternoon, accompanied by two fabulous friends.

Who said one should have something special to celebrate to go to a fancy place for dining or simply enjoy dessert? No, I’m not implying that I would have this as a new tradition, because it’s too darn expensive to do on a regular basis. So even though we didn’t have anything in particular to celebrate, it was some sort of celebrating something we’re grateful to have, which is a good life. With that in mind, I immerse myself in the delight of a soufflé, grateful that in this life I’m blessed.
