A blast from the past…

Crepes!

I don’t know how many of you remember this craze back in the nineties – Japanese crepes. Filled with anything from bananas to ham, this was a sensation back in Singapore. This snack apparently originated from the streets of Harajuku.

The picture below was taken when I was wandering around Tokyo a few days after I arrived. I was never too fond of it but bought one because it was there and thought I should eat it in the Land of Origin at least once. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the crepe’s inception.

I never thought strawberries, chocolate sauce and whipped cream could taste so good. The soft sweetness was a swirly, delightful sensation on the taste buds. Check out the cheesecake embedded in the crepe – so cute but so weird. Prices start from ¥300 (SGD4).
