Crème brûlée is an unpretentious dessert that's simple yet incredibly rich - the little black dress of desserts if you will. I've come to expect a rich, creamy layer contrasted with a snappy disc of burnt sugar that cracks beautifully when introduced to a spoon. I've never been tempted to try crème brûlée in Seoul because it's a dessert that, in this society, is sure to command a high price tag. The story traversed down the usual path - I ended up making my own.
