Excellent flavor! I used Mexican vanilla and only white sugar on top, as we've experimented with brown sugar mixtures in the past and prefer the white only, but the whole family really enjoyed this recipe. Thanks for posting, Momaphet! Made & enjoyed for Photo Forum's National Dessert Month. :)

Definitely the best CrÃ©me Brulee! Here in HI, we have a Kinkaids restaurant (same family of restaurants as Scotts Seafood) ... I got this recipe from them on a 3x5 card about 25 years ago and misplaced it -- mahalo for posting!
