coulis

And during a recent birthday dinner, Han received another surprise when the restaurant sent over a dessert inspired by Jeremiah, a golden retriever frat boy and budding foodie, and his special wedding request to Belly: A two-tiered dark chocolate cake with a raspberry coulis filling and a mirror glaze.

The other was Halo Halo-inspired, with vegan ube soft serve adorned with mango coulis and toasted coconut.

But since my last visit, a chocolate lava cake — an intriguing take on the dated favorite with chocolate mochi, raspberry coulis, dark chocolate ganache, vanilla gelato and cocoa tuile — has been added to the menu.

His task: Decorate a baked meringue wreath with blueberry coulis, mascarpone cream and sugared berries.

By that point, Le Marché had opened, with stations offering steak, grilled fish, pizza and plain pastas to which you could add your chosen sauce, small salads, smoked local salmon, a bean soup, desserts like a Saint Honoré tart, raspberry coulis with meringue.
