I was only going to grab a coffee and run off for the morning meetings. But the colors at the breakfast table caught my eye. So I wandered over to take a look and see if the spread would entice me to eat something sometime during the week.
When I saw fresh figs, I couldn't help but take one to nibble. I LOVE FIGS. I dithered over the fig tart. It looked awesome yummy! But at 7.30am, I wasn't sure if the stomach could take it. Still, I took a tiny slice. OMG. That tart is divine! It isn't as sweet as I expected. In fact, I wouldn't call it sweet. The pastry is exquisite. A bit crumbly as expected of tarts, but not dry. It was perfect for breakfast, and my palate. It was so good that I had a second slice. Heh.
The sign on the stand did say 'tart of the day', a phrase which made me grin. Anyway, I hope the kitchen makes this fig tart again tomorrow or the day after, or sometime again. I'm definitely coming back to check out the elegant tarts at breakfast.

Your fig tart looks delicious. I love figs too, but those figs I find in supermarts here are always mushy. Ironically the sweetest & most divine fig I've eaten was from Goto.
Senora, did you have time to try the coffees yet?

Oh, they look divine! I love fresh figs with parma ham and cheese. Fig tart.. that I haven't tried.
fresh figs are sooooo expensive here, as you can imagine! Dig in, babe! Eat those figs and tarts to your heart's content. Meanwhile, I eat sambal! *evil grin*
lol at jomel. 'evil' indeed, haha.
i was wondering how the imp's gonna survive without sambal for this long. *runs before she comes in*
joanne: good fig tarts aren't easy to make!
tuti + jomel: i've been so busy that my appetite has dramatically decreased. so no sambal is still okay, for now. heh.
