This was one of the crepe lunches my friends and I had. It's a nice and quaint place, opposite Raffles hotel and has friendly staff. 

I wanted to feel healthy that day so I tried the Tomato crepe S$12.30 

It was nice, thought i didn't really like that my tomatoes were mashed but what did I expect? they couldn't possibly have come in whole tomatoes and a crepe separately. 

Doesn't it look pretty though? All the crepes are made of buck wheat flour (if i remember correctly) Definitely some kind of wheat though. It has a nice texture to it, probably more chewy than normal, and crispy at the edges. 

My friend had the Ham with Mushroom in cream sauce. S$14.90 

It was fabulous, must say this combination is surely more delectable than mine. More flavors involved, it was just the right amount of salty and fresh. 

For dessert we tried their promoted dessert of the day - Apple and Salted butter caramel S$14.90 

It looked good and tasted even better. As promised, the sweet and salty flavors of the apple and caramel sauce blended together perfectly. The ice cream just did it for us. We were all " Ooooh " and "Oh this is damn good " 

I wanna come back again for sure! The location is ideal for working adults who want some good crepes. Obviously, without said, fabulous for tourists if they are touring around the area and want to drop in for a  snack. 

Till next time!

Opening Hours: Daily 7:30am - 9pm

Nearest MRT station : Clarke Quay

My friends and i have been having sunday tea together for quite a few times and this place probably fails in comparison but nevertheless, it's a nice and quaint place, one I may return to try their main dishes, but only if I'm in the area. The place is italian, just like many of the bistros along Robertson Quay, staff are very friendly and likable. 

Coffee was good and strong, came in a set with the chocolate ice cream crepe I had in the picture below. S$8.90. 

I've read in other food blogs that this place often gives good deals like 9.90 lunch sets so I assume that's probably their marketing way of attracting customers (which is perfectly suitable for me). 

Crepe was thick and soft, Chocolate ice cream was, well, chocolate ice cream. Nothing to go ga-ga over. 

But i like the crepe this way. Though my friend suggested you could buy pre-made mixes, make them yourself and still get the same result. 

A friend had a savory crepe, Chicken breast and leek. Good, slightly salty but I liked it. 

We shared a little dessert, the Choco Lava cake with icecream, which was S$7.90. 

There was nothing to boast about honestly, the lava didn't even ooze out. 

Oh well, maybe they'll enchant me the next time I visit, but for now, my appetite craves for better.
