A Cottage for the Crepe or Pancake

It's really a story of "Once upon the time...", I've been thinking and nagging about visiting this restaurant, the Crepe Cottage that is located at the Gurney Drive. I wouldn't have noticed or known about this small house if I've not read about it in the website. Standing strong despite it's only a crepe and pancake stall, you'll be surprised by the varieties that are served here.

Starting with the main courses and we girls have decided to share the Crepe Cottage Original Roast Chicken, the Brown Sauce with Mushrooms on Chicken Breast, the Cheesy Bake and the Triple Seafood Crepe. The roast chicken is the boneless chicken drumstick that is topped with the Crepe Cottage's Special Sauce that is made of black pepper. The succulent chicken meat goes well with the thick gravy that is slightly spicy and it has a nice aroma of the black pepper. For a non-drumstick lover alike me, I feel that the chicken meat is just too fat and softy. The button mushroom that is cooked in the brown sauce, it's a good match to the breast meat. I love the saltiness and thickness of the sauce that go well with the chicken meat that has been grilled plainly without too much seasonings. Moreover, the sauce is matching the crepe that is filled with sliced onion, it's refreshing! The chicken cubes are sauteed with mushrooms and onions that are then wrapped into the crepe. Finally, the wrap is topped with the Cheddar and Parmesan Cheeses before being heated in the oven; this is the delicious Cheesy Bake! The only small disappointment is the chicken cube that is slightly dry and chewy. The fish, prawn and calamari are cooked in a sweet and sour sauce, we agree that there has been an unknown ingredient in the sauce that has ruined the freshness of the seafood. The sauce tastes somehow weird. The combination of seafood with crepe, I'll definitely not order it again in my life. Indeed, not all poultry goes well with the crepe or pancake. In our orders, we think that the black pepper chicken is delicious only on its own.

It's a must to try out the crepe as sweet dessert. We've taken the Hot Apple on Ice-cream Crepe and the Chocolate Crepe with Nutella & Banana. The crepe is rolled with 2 big scoops of vanilla ice-cream and then being topped with the sliced apples that are freshly sauteed with sugar and cinnamon; the meeting-point of hot and cold, the taste is marvelous! I do enjoy the chocolate crepe that is filled with Nutella and slices of banana but not the side dishes of chocolate ice-cream and whipped cream. I would like to have more Nutella Chocolate, pleaseeeeeeee...

Please remind the Chef if you dislike onion because they're using it in almost every dishes here. Do come here and try out the crepe, especially the desserts. I bet your mood will be cheered up completely.
