Dishes mentioned
French Toast
This French toast is incredibly crunchy on the outside and like a cloud inside. It's covered in honey, and you can taste the honey melting in your mouth as you chew. It's warm, freshly baked. The outside is super crunchy and the inside is soft and spongy. Dipping it makes it even better — it's a dream.
Tortino con Crema di Uovo
This little tart with egg cream is amazing. The puff pastry crumbles in your fingers. The top is caramelized from the egg cream in the oven. The egg flavor is really intense — you can taste it strongly. It's like a zabaglione cream made with egg yolk and sugar. Inside the cream is lighter, the top is darker from caramelization. If you like egg, this is for you.
Butter Toast
This butter toast is the life. It's super soft inside and super crunchy outside. I like this more than the egg tart. It's too good.
