Crepe Cafe – Hidden Thai Crepe Hangout in Golden Mile Complex!

Golden Mile Complex, AKA Singapore’s own land of smiles, brings us some of the finest renditions of Thai street food and entertainment. Some of the best (and my favourite) Mookata joints and Thai eateries can be found in every corner of this towering mall. But, did you know that Golden Mile Complex is also home to one of the best Thai-style crepes and beverage? Yes, it’s none other than Crepe Cafe.

Word has it that the once–famous stall began from a romance that sparked between a Singaporean man and Thai woman. While they weren’t available on the day of our visit, a Thai vendor tended to our orders. The experience of ordering from here seemed oddly familiar, though. The stall’s interior, such as the flashing neon sign that says “open” or the jumbo unnamed collages of menu offerings, was a reminiscence of the street food stalls in the city of angels. The vendor’s Thai accent also transported me back to Bangkok. However, what pulled me back to reality was the prices of the Thai treats. You can easily grab 2-3 crepes in Bangkok at a fraction of the cost it takes to get one crepe at Crepe Cafe.

Crepe cafe sells not only sweet crepes, but also the savoury versions as well. They’re just like magical blank canvasses, ready to be topped with just about any type of ingredients. Different fillings do fetch you a one–of–a–kind taste. You might find it a bit of a hassle to go through the menu for a first–timer, so heed our advice and try number 1 – the Banana + Sweet Egg Floss + hazelnut spread ($6.50). This wonderful crepe came folded, with a rather generous portion of sliced bananas, saccharine threads of Thai sweet egg floss and peanut butter–chocolate spread. An excellent crepe is one that is able to hold its delicate integrity despite being blanketed by an array of fillings – and the crepe here is exactly that. The mild-tasting crepe is thick but crumbled quickly when bitten into. So satisfying! Eaten together with the fillings, and it’s like you’ve swallowed a rainbow. The combustion of sweet and fruity will amaze you!

On the other hand, the savoury crepe we ordered failed to impress. It’s great that most of their savoury crepes were cheaper than the sweet crepes, such as this Ham + Egg + Cheese ($5.50) crepe that we had. Don’t be mistaken, this crepe option was decent but not mindblowing. A good amount of chilli sauce was slathered atop ham slices, melted cheese and egg. Honestly, it might have tasted better if the chilli sauce was left out or served separately as a dipping sauce. The taste and texture of the cheese did not help much too, instead creating unnecessary richness.

Pictures of Thai beverages filled in these instagram–worthy packaging adorned the stall front of crepe cafe. You definitely can’t resist grabbing one for yourself (or to take a picture with)! While most drinks, such as the Thai Milk Tea ($4), is fairly familiar to the general Singaporean, Crepe Cafe concocts these drinks in a rather peculiar way. Unlike the run–off–the–mill Thai milk tea stalls,  the tea here is first extracted using an expresso machine. Other essential ingredients, such as condensed milk and evaporated milk, are then measured out using a small glass before being mixed into the tea. The result is a rich orange-coloured beverage filled in an attractive bag. Beyond just aesthetics, the taste of the milk actually resembled those found on streets of Thailand. It’s milky and addictive! Too bad the pricing of the Thai milk tea isn’t like those found in Bangkok. 

There are still a ton of menu offerings to be sampled here in Crepe Cafe. It’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area. I can safely say that I’ll treat myself to a crepe every time if I’m in Golden Mile Complex.
