New Year's Eve dinner at Sofitel's Le Sud Restaurant

Some friends and I indulged in a luscious seafood buffet dinner on the banks of the Nile for New Year's Eve last night. The real star in my opinion were the delicate French desserts, ranging from flaky custard-covered lady fingers stuffed with fresh, juicy blackberries to mini creme brulées topped with a crackled sugar topping, a sweet, fleshy litchi and a tart gooseberry.


Here's a raspberry coulis, litchi and berry dessert, topped off with half of a fresh passion fruit, blueberries, blackberries and cassis berries. It tasted like the first days of summer eaten with a spoon...delightful.
