Crepezee Crepe @ Singapore Food Festival

From my previous blog entry, you would have learnt that my sister and her boyfriend (Vera & Aik Hin) had set up a booth at Clarke Quay by the Singapore river for the Singapore Food Festival, selling their home made crepes! This is the first time they are selling the crepes so do go down to support them~ I did yesterday and I took photos of them in action so I shall promote for them here!

See~ I very kind one okay?

Located outside The Central, a long stretch of booths selling a variety of food stands by Singapore's iconic river. Well, if you have difficulties locating where Crepezee Crepe is, it's just right in front of this huge orange "Central" word because I took the photo there. Convenient, no?

And this is their humble menu. I personally find that it's a little hard to understand because the design is a little all over the place but with a little explanation from the friendly helpers there (either my siblings or Aik Hin plus his own siblings), you will understand how to order your crepe.

Well, I shall explain how ordering works here in case you want to get your orders faster when you head down to support them young people. First of all, you select your crepe's flavor. Pick from the original recipe (also known as plain), strawberry or pandan. Then, select your spread of Nutella, chocolate sauce, strawberry or caramel. Top it up with a topping of your choice - either almonds, pumpkin seeds, crushed Oreo cookies, rainbow cereals or sugar. This will cost you S$3.00.

If you want to make your crepe even more delightful, you can top up an additional $1.20 for a scoop of ice cream (pick from mint, chocolate, raspberry or cookies and cream) or an additional $1.20 for something healthier - fruits (pick from strawberries, mango, and I forgot... :P)

They also have this Savory Crepe which features tuna or salmon if you are feeling daring.

Understand how to order now? :)

Vera proudly presenting to you Crepezee Crepe!

Like I've said previously, this stall is man by teenagers whose ages range from 17 - 20 years old so they are really young people so don't be bullin' them! Furthermore, this is no school project because Aik Hin decided to rent this space for himself to sell his creations and prior to this, he practiced day and night to perfect his skills of making the excellent crepe. Really daring teenager, no? To set up a stall for real isn't simple, you know...

And of course, Vera goes down almost daily to help out because one person manning the store is definitely not enough. Leon also goes down occasionally to help prepare the crepes for the customers as well.

Vera scooping out the correct portion of batter for the crepe. It's a little hard to imagine that Vera can actually make crepes because she can't even cook instant noodles to save her life... Just sayin'~ At least she can make something edible though. :)

I supported them by getting a pandan crepe and this is Vera spreading the batter on the crepe hot pan skillfully using the wooden thingie.

Flipping the crepe over isn't as simple as it seems but Vera managed to do it anyway. And remember! She can't cook instant noodles!! By the way, you can request for your crepe to be soft or crispy. I like it crispy because it adds texture to the dessert but it's up to your personal preference. The soft one is really chewy and fun to have too~

When the crepe is prepared, Leon helps by dressing up the thin skin by applying your favorite spreads and toppings. I think Nutella is the best selling spread so far because out of 10 customers that I noticed patronizing, 7 - 8 would pick the Nutella.

Disclaimer: The photos in this post are not arranged in chronological order. I'm using this photo to demonstrate the process of crepe making. After the spread is done, Leon will top your crepe with ice cream (if you're willing to pay more but it's definitely worth it!!) and toppings. After that, he will roll it up and present it to you like a bouquet of sweetness.

This is what I had - Pandan crepe with Nutella spread topped with almond flakes and a scoop of mint ice cream! Yummy! The crepe is crispy and the crushy almonds add texture to the whole dessert and the mint ice cream cools your mouth and gives the whole thing the creamy finish~ Really delicious! I highly recommend everyone to try the ice cream crepe as opposed to the ones just with the toppings! It's worth the additional $1.20!

The master/boss preparing the crepe. Normally, Aik Hin is the one preparing the crepe skin because he's the most skillful at it. Unless he's in the loo or that Vera wants to impress some people (like myself), he would normally be assuming control of the crepe pan and wood thingie. :)

Because the crepe is so thin and delicate, extreme care has to be exercised to make sure that it keeps its shape and flipping it isn't easy, especially when the stall is located just beside the river and the breeze will mess the crepe up. There had been cases that the crepes were blown away but I believe they will get better through these experiences.

Some close ups of the preparation process and recap on how to order your crepe. First, the flavor of the crepe. Second, the spread... 

Next, the toppings...

And lastly, that fabulous ice cream!!

Some of the toppings... Inspired by frozen yoghurt, I suppose.

Vera rolling the crepe into this hand made paper cone.

Well I was fortunate to be able to capture some portraits of people enjoying the crepe while I was there yesterday. This is Yi Hui enjoying her strawberry crepe with ice cream~

Alvin's friend who I only know him as Machamp also enjoying his strawberry crepe with ice cream. So happened to bump into him and just had to introduce him to the fantastic crepes. :D

And of course, Nick digging into his pandan crepe with raspberry ice cream. This is probably the most unglam way of eating the crepe but hey~ It's up to you how you want to have it!!

This is how the crowd was like yesterday and I hope that the crowd will continue to grow today as well~ :)

And the final photo of this entry - Doraemon hand soap that they use to keep their hands germ free while preparing their crepe. They may be young but they sure know about personal hygiene when it comes to food preparation so you can be assured that you get clean and tasty sweets from them!

I hope that this entry will make you feel like going down to support them! :D That's the whole purpose of this post. In case you want to know more about their crepe, you can visit their Facebook page here. In case you're lazy, I shall just write some of the essential things that you should know~
