A soufflé is a light, fluffy, baked cake made with egg yolks and beaten egg whites combined with various other ingredients and served as a savory main dish or sweetened as a dessert. The word soufflé is the past participle of the French verb souffler which means "to blow up" or more loosely "puff up" — an apt description of what happens to this combination of custard and egg whites.

Influenced by Jimmy, who constantly being working in his kitchen over the past few weekends to sharpen his baking skills. Today afternoon, I decided to throw away my lab coat and put on my apron and make Rose and Strawberry soufflé... Crispy top and fluffy and cream filling... the rose aroma and the sweet-sour strawberry slipped through my taste-bud... nice....
