Strawberry Eton Mess

After eating a delicious Strawberry Eton Mess at Assiette, I was singing its praises to anyone who would listen. And listen they did - Queen Chu's mum knew that I was thinking about making it myself at home and kindly gave me a giant slab of leftover meringue! I was a happy penguin indeed =D

I didn't have strawberry sorbet as they had as Assiette, and I don't really like berry coulis so instead I substituted it with a simple sugar syrup that I used to macerate the strawberries. And even though it wasn't a "winter warmer" kind of dessert, it was nevertheless oh-so-satisfying!
