Love of My Life

I finally found you!
After all these years!
:')

Crème Caramel! So that's what you are!
Oh, God... this is such a weird entry I am writing here. Haha.

Me and this food had a very... unforgettable past.
How long has it been? 10 years? More? I don't know, I can't remember.

The first time I ate this food was when I was very little. My dad had a seminar about neurology somewhere in some hotel that I can't remember. Me and my mom always follow wherever he goes for seminar, even until today (except now that I am far away in New Zealand it'll be just my mom following dad).

Anyways, the story of me falling in love with this dessert started on the buffet table of that seminar a long long time ago. Of all the desserts that were served on that buffet table, the Caramel Cream got my attention from the first time I laid eyes on it.
I took a slice of it (it was not served as individual dish like my photo here) and took it back to the table where my mom and dad sat. I grabbed my fork, cut a little part on the edge of the slice that i took, stabbed it with my fork (yes, stabbed), and put it in my mouth.

HEAVEN.

BEST.
CAKE, PUDDING, SWEETS, WHATEVER CATEGORY IT IS.
EVER.
YUM.
OMG.

I jumped and told my mom that it was the best thing I have ever eaten in my whole life. I quickly finished the slice and went to get another one or two or three... I think I finished the whole thing myself..

Not long after that, my dad had another seminar in another hotel. Of course, I went with him for the free food (HAHA!). And I met it again, Cream Caramel.

This is the part that I can never get it out of my head.

From the first time I saw it on the buffet table, I asked my mom permission to have cake before the main dish. The seminar hadn't even started yet, so nobody had eaten yet. But, the dessert table was open and I remembered that people (especially kids like me) grabbed one or two of the sweets.

I cut myself a slice and ate it. By the time I was on my way to grab another slice, the seminar started and the room went dark. It was hard to see.
I cut another slice and put it on my plate. When I wanted to grab a fork, i felt my plate had gotten lighter. When I looked at the plate, it was gone. I don't know why that time I did not think that it may have fallen from the plate. I grabbed another slice from the table and when i turned back, I was looking at the floor, and I saw that there was a piece of the caramel cream on a man's shoes. That was the moment I realised my pudding had fell from my plate onto a man's shoes. DUM DUM DUM DUUUMMMMM.
I looked up and saw his face. He was looking down at his shoes, then at me. I did not know what to do, so I just stepped back, walked away from the buffet table, back to my mom and dad, and pretend nothing had happened.
That man will hate me forever and forever. ._.

Funny...
A few days before cuisine class, I actually remembered about this event and I laughed to myself.
And in cuisine class I made this. Deja vu much....

Anyways, I am now happy that I know what is the name of my favourite dessert of all time and now I know how to make it! Haha~
