Creative Dessert

You must have heard of the renowned Thai soup “tom yum” (hot and sour soup). What about “tom yum” as a dessert? Tony, based on his observations, created a set of Thai mousse with the herbs used for “tom yum”. Tony said, when he proposed the dish to his fellow cooks, they were stoned and bet it would not be welcomed by the customers. However, Tony was not discouraged and kept trying and fine-tuning the recipe. Tony’s persistence, creativity and effort eventually paid off when the special dessert is served on table.
