Few days back I had the opportunity to see Chef Vincenzo Zizza a.k.a. Chef Tony of Fratelli Fresh, Renaissance, Powai at work, while he sculpted this mouth watering liqueur based caramelized chocolate pudding..
It was an insatiable experience crafted for Gods.
From the minute he served it on the table, I was ogling at it for a good 15 minutes before I devoured it down.

It was uniformly consistent and I could feel the smooth texture as my spoon slid effortlessly into it.
It had a naughty glisten as I edged closer to eat ..
The intoxicating aroma of the liqueur filled my senses and lingered as a playful smile as I awaited the experience to come..
It was the creamiest chocolate pudding I have ever had in my life.
The bitter cocoa and the caramel flavor alternately burst on my taste buds as the liqueur gushed out of it..
It sent tingles down my spine and made me shiver as I ate it, one bite at a time..
There was a point where it felt like I had paused in real time and had forgotten to breathe.

and I couldn't resist from giving it a peck as it wobbled on my spoon in response :P
Have you ever felt like you could keep free falling into a bed made of softest feather as it enveloped you in a hug?
It was exactly like that..
In fact I had my gooey eyed goofy grin on even as I walked out of the restaurant and for a good measure of the day I keep seeing this wonderful creation everywhere . . .
Drool worthy...and a must have if you visit Fratelli Fresh, Renaissance Powai.
Also, do meet Chef Tony.
He is a fun loving Italian God who is always enthusiastic about meeting people and have an animated chat with them..

Since my parents were shopping in the mall and I was getting bored, I asked them to let me slip out.
I stepped into a food court, looked at all the wonderful items there and wanted to eat them all. But I had only 20 Bahts with me, and hence, I started narrowing my options. I immediately went to the Desserts section and looked for something appealing. Ottawa Cheesecake caught my eye and I wondered whether it would be worth it. I had never tried that kind. Nevertheless, I ordered it, took it to a table and sat down. I put my fork into the cheesecake and dripped some sauce that they gave with it. Silky smooth texture it had. First bite. Orgasm. Second Bite. Double Orgasm. No matter how many bites I had, it just got better. I did not want this cheesecake to ever end. It was so creamy, yet so light that it melted in my mouth almost immediately.
How was it made, was not important to me anymore. 'Where can I get this in India' surrounded my mind. Sadly, I haven't yet even found a recipe to this kind of cheesecake in the whole of the internet, let alone a restaurant which can serve me this. Sigh!
If it does happen by the grace of chef tony from Fratelli fresh, Renaissaance, then I would want writer of this blog to describe it the same way as she did for pudding..
It reminds me of my first time at Baghdadi with their caramel custard. The way it wobbled on the spoon, the ecstatic look on my face as the custard slowly melted in my mouth . . .
I wonder if we could take Chef Tony to Baghdadi one day . . . ?
;-)
Deepti, jitni shiddhat se Chef Tony ne is pudding ko sculpt kiya, lets sculpt ourselves (you know what I'm talking about... wink)I bet the result would be... Insatiably Ecstatic! ;)
