Sweet Stuff

Dear diary,

Dessert Bar is was having 50% off all items in their menu.

On one of the weekends, I went there twice.

The best thing of all is this:

Vanilla Crème brûlée

…is a dessert consisting of a rich custard base topped with a layer of hard caramel, created by burning sugar under a grill, or with a blowtorch or other intense heat source.

(Wikipedia, 2009)

It’s very the super the nice! The texture is creamy, not filling (maybe because the portion is fairly small) and the top layer of thin crust completed the package.

Now I’m missing it already!
And because it was half price back then, I kept ordering it, as if it’s FOC.

And also other sweet stuff……

Chocolate Fruit Fondue

Ice-cream!!

etc etc etc

Then I had a conversation with the waiter:

Me: “Why’re you all having this 50% discount promotion?”
Waiter: “Oh, it’s because we’re changing to a new menu and we want customers to try everything in the menu.”
Me: (smile and thinks) I’m so gonna turn diabetic that way.

But somehow, it works pretty well, because within my 2 visits to Dessert Bar, I think I tried most of the menu items, causing my sugar level to sway aloof from the safe zone. And what happened is, I’m so gonna go back there to order a few more Brulee, even if it’s not half price.

50% discount is not too bad a marketing strategy afterall.
At least it works on me.
