Attempt at the Chocolate Fondant
I was so excited about the Chocolate Fondant from Saturday's class, that I went straight home that very evening (after a short detour to Phoon Huat) to try out the recipe at home. Yes, I ish siao on!
R@e and @ndrea would be delighted to know that I have finally started using the weighing scale they got me for Christmas. I've been making rough measurements with the tablespoon so far, whenever I'm trying out recipes at home. Decided that it would be safer in this case to have precise measurement.
First attempt: FAILED!!!! Made a frantic SOS call to my chef for help. Suspected that there could be a few reasons for the "exploded" cake. One, I might not have beat the eggs to the right consistency. Two, the remekin used is slightly bigger than those we used in class - the difference in size, as well as different operating condition of the ovens could also be the cause.
Finally, on the 2nd attempt - The Boy's only comment was "ORGASMIC"! *Grins* Ok, I just need to practise a few more times to perfect the Chocolate Fondant. Might as well, in time to help The Boy put on some weight - he's lost quite a bit due to his hectic work schedule these days.

waaaah...now that you can make this at home...does this mean no more ordering of this outside?
Ha, you are quite right leh! Especially now I know the simple ingredients of eggs, sugar, butter, flour and chocolates can't cost that much!
Then again, sometimes it's nice to be indulged rather than indulge la.... :D
wahhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey, u really siao on...LOL...I was too tired out to even go pipe out my choux pastry, which is now still sitting in my chiller. BTW, if u haven't got your torch yet, I got mine from Pantry Magic last week (b4 the class) & finally got the gas for it today at Holland V. So now I am ready to do some caramelising, etc...
:-)

domesticrat > confinement time can have chocolates?
YUM! That looks great! Well done babe! I was going to ask the same question as lilsnooze... I'm sure you'll now find that your own is better that those outside!
I won't say it's better than those outside, but definitely it's like what you feel about pastas outside whereby you'd think "i can do this at home too". =p
