Dessert: "Le Sucre"
Le Sucre
Golden sugar sphere filled with strawberry and saffron honey mousse, served with honey saffron mousse, pomegranate gelee, and vanilla ice cream. ($17)
Notes: What a magnificent plating and presentation. Like "Le Thon," this could be a Dali creation... somehow, it also reminds me of the mysticism and naturalism of "A Midsummer Night's Dream." But, I digress...
I'm not a sweet-tooth, and to that end, this dessert really failed to catch my attention. The best part of this dessert, besides its tremendously gorgeous presentation, was shattering the sugar globe and seeing all of the saffron honey mousse filling, along with blood-red strawberry compote ooze out - a gorgeous seduction. I found myself enjoying three things about this dessert: the vanilla ice cream, the pomegranate gelee, which had a nice tartness, and the saffron honey mousse for its wonderful flavor.
