death by desserts: the third installment

i truly have to give credit to my auntie ta for the array of outstanding desserts that she whips up faithfully, week after week...so much so that i think this third installment will still not quite yet bring me up to speed with the repertoire of good stuff that we have been spoiled with *blush* (yes, i'm already thinking of installment four!)

knowing that pak law was putting on his pernankan hat one weekend, auntie ta matched up and brought over some pretty fantastic apom. there is apom and there is apom....and mind you with the crowd at one six b giving probably only peramakan the nod for authentic pernankan desserts, auntie ta's home made version was pretty much quite up there as well. fluffy and fresh pancakes, complemented by sweet pisang rajah's and outstanding gravy, these melt in your mouth treats were so well done that despite cries of 'i'm stuffed', all i'll say is that there were seconds going round!

the next two desserts are what i coin classics with a twist. the regulars of one six b were first treated to a lemoncello tiramisu. knowing sometimes how full we get with dinners at one six b, auntie ta always manages to serve up something that will fit right into that section of the tummy we reserve and proudly call the dessert section *grin*! light, refreshing and tangy (the lemoncello is imported fyi!), this version of the classic tiramisu was defintely a welcome change to the palate following a big meaty meal.

the roulade was the other somewhat twist on the classic swiss roll. it was auntie ta's first time at a roll and she nailed it. having had some gos in the kitchen, i shy away from rolls and cakes in general as they are well...that much more technical! the lemon roulade again, complemented the rich meal perfectly, with it being a lot less rich as compared to the tiramisu but still sufficiently tangy and refreshing to hit that sweet spot.

the final dessert (these are not listed in any particular order, although i do tend to save the my favourites for last *wink*) in this partie trois installment is the hibiscus peach granita. yup! you read right... hibiscus. combined with the fuzzy half sweet half tangy flavour of the peach, the hibiscus added a nice fragrance and sweetness to the drink dessert. with or without the shot of vodka, the granita was a perfect end to an outstanding meal on a warm september evening.
