Silly food question....

[baxley]

I noticed that at the Culinary school onboard....they teach you to make Creme Brulee. I was wondering if they ever serve it in the MDR or only at the specialty restaurants? I told you it was silly....:D

Yes, they do serve it in the MDR but I must say it was much tastier in the Pinnacle Grill. I found the Creme Brûlée in the MDR varied in quality - sometimes good but sometimes a little too runny.

Yes, no, and maybe. Yes they serve it in the MDR and the specialty restaurants. They do teach it in the classes but not all the time/every class or cruise.

Hi I had creme brulee in the main dining room on the Veendam in April. Kendra

I noticed the difference as well and mentioned it to the dining room manager. He told me that the Creme Brulee in the Pinnacle is made from scratch with eggs and cream.... and the MDR is basically a "custard" made from a pudding mix.

I knew it! Creme brûlée is one of the very few desserts I eat and I was really disappointed in the one I had in MDR. Told DD I thought it was a pudding flavoured like custard and dolled up with a sugar crust.

I agree. The crème brûlée served in the dining room is totally bland and the texture is not right. It's not worth the calorie intake. The Pinnacle has a much better offering. Delicious, in fact.

I tried the crème brulee a couple of times in the dining room -- really bland.

The one served at Le Cirque in the Pinnacle is the best tasting one.

I agree! I do think that most of the MDR desserts are either frozen or from a mix and have been for quite a while.

Yes, because this is HAL we are talking about HAL. Their Signature of Inconsistency: yes, no, maybe.

 

Not to be negative, but this inconsistency gets old....

Just off the Amsterdam in April and the crème brulee in the MDR was good while the Pinnacle was varied flavors, which made it even better. Maybe it is a chef thing as do not think the MDR was a mix, which I do not like.
