Crepes make a perfect light lunch, while sweet waffles draw lovely endings. Located just around the central fountain of Raffles Marketplace is a modern creperie dishing creations of Asian and European infusion. I noticed a revamped menu with obvious modifications done- new dishes inserted and some taken out.
To get the best of both worlds, Dad and i shared a crepe & a waffle.
Prawn Otah Crepe ($16.50)
Generous pieces of fresh succulent prawns smothered in a wet mushy otah paste. The slight spice added much excitement to the lovely whole-wheat crepe, still soft and good.
Hazelnut Royal Waffle ($11.50)
I seriously have much to rave about their waffles here! Stack of four waffle halves sandwiched with luxurious hazelnut custard cream, chocolate icecream and a mango salad alongside- all elaborately presented over chocolate sauce.
Now for the unplesant confusion... apparently my request for a vanilla icecream substitution was neglected but when i notified the waiter, he slowly served others before approaching to clarify and was reluctant to change it. The slight argument then brought his colleague over, who immediately got it switched for me. At least that was better. Sadly, all they did was to replace the top, leaving my waffle soaked with those melted chocolate icecream. terrible.
Nevertheless, i still enjoyed my dish. Waffles were impressively substantial, offering firm chewy pleasures plus a fragrant hint of cinnamon spice. thumbs up for their homemade vanilla icecream as well; being thick and not sickly sweet. Overall both taste and presentation excellently covered.
Ambience here may be a little odd with countless pairs of eyes staring but foodwise worth that sacrifice. All they had to do was improve on their service, seriously.
