St Jude & Citronelle

Last Sunday I was lucky enough to be invited to the famous Citronelle for a dessert reception and a toy drive/fundraiser for St Jude. I took my friend Radha with me and we got to sample a few desserts.

To be honest, the desserts looked better than they tasted, but it was still a fun outing.

Look at the spread! One of my favorites was a chocolate cream puff with mini chocolate-y things on top.


The other good dessert was a pear tart on the left. The fruit tart on the right was mediocre: the dough was really hard, so I just ate the berries.


I did not try the apricot tart on the left, but the cute looking "egg" dessert was good. The inside had lemon curd, which looked exactly like an egg yolk; the outside was merengue.


After 3 desserts I was actually full, so did not get to try the cheesecake or the lemony looking dessert below.
