Crêpes is original French dessert-type pancake. The Japanese have taken crêpes to obsession to create savory meals with them. In Seoul, the franchise from Japan – Marion Crêpes has spread the crêpes to mass markets in malls, like Yongsan iPark Mall.
Just after watching a movie and lunch, we decided to have crêpes for dessert. After browsing the some 30 odd selections including sweet and savory ones, I decided on the ever popular (number #3 choice) ham & cheese crêpe. We also decided on the sweets strawberry ice cream and cheese cake crêpe.
As I watched the masters, some random teenager, spread the batter over the round hot plate, I was completely mesmerized and fascinated by the way the crêpe is formed perfectly round. I’ve seen crêpes made in the US and in France, and it is always made the same way. You can’t really produce a perfect round crêpe any other way. Then after carefully removing and readying the thin pancake, the tops are then put on. I saw mine with the ham, tomato sauce, then lettuce, and cheese placed on the crêpe, yet while still on the grill. WIth dessert ones, they remove the crêpe from the grill then put the ice cream and other sweet goodies on top.
The sweet crêpe we had was clearly the winner, while I lost – in selecting the savory one. Perhaps it was the strange combination of the slightly sweet crêpe with the savory ham. Anyways. . . sweet crêpes are a nice dessert than fill your afternoon as well as your bellies.
