Tropical Hawaii in Classic France

restaurant
that serves the most amazing food. They have classic dishes such as escargot.
But,
they also
have different types of food as well.
One item from the restaurant that
was amazingly presented was the Warm
Pineapple
Croustade with Coconut Ice Cream and Passion
Fruit Syrup. A
croustade is basically a torte
with dough
on top with a more flakey crust. The pineapple croustade tastes like an apple
pie at
first,
then the pineapple flavor kicks in. The croustade is placed on a dish that has
a thin layer of
passion
fruit syrup. To top it off they add a scoop of coconut ice cream on the
croustade. This
blend of
tropical flavors makes it seem like Hawaii. The exotic flavors greatly
differentiate from
the
classic French dish. It’s like eating a piece of Hawaii in France.
This kind of dish lifts the spirit.
It makes you feel warm inside. The only thing missing is
the beach.
The idea to have such a tropical dish for a French restraint seems a bit
strange.
However,
Minstral seemed to make the idea work. The dessert will have you wanting more,
even
if you’re
full.
