As with all open cooking stalls, I stood in front of her and stared while she made it. Pressurizing? I’m not sure, but the lady chef seemed quite accustomed to crepe-making, which made me feel reassured about the final outcome of my crepe.
Indeed, I felt the crepe-maker had done well, and it was the ingredients that were a let-down.
The strawberries were still half frozen, and the chocolate sauce hardly tasted like chocolate. The ice-cream, apparently low-fat, was also quite tasteless. The fresh cream wasn’t that rich, and since the ice-cream was tasteless too, they both sort of became one. Not great.
The brownie was of poor-quality, and tiny, and not worth an addition of $7, but I can’t imagine eating the crepe without it… it would have been incredibly boring and unsatisfying with the cream-ice-cream and frozen strawberry quarters. Oh, and the tasteless choc sauce.
The pancake was fine, but there was too much of it – or rather, too little filling inside. It was folded nicely so the melting cream-ice-cream didn’t leak out, but the repetitive folding made it too thick. It became a pancake rather than a crepe.
The end-product was made by first letting the pancake cool down, then folding it, then adding the ingredients in the following order: cream, choc sauce, strawberries, icecream, dollops of cream around it, strawberries on top of each dollop – at this point, I was wondering where on earth the brownie would fit, but I realized, when she took it out, that it was so small that it could be fitted in wherever.
The best part was at the end, when I was nearly finishing, and there was a mixture of melted sweet mesh of a bit of everything at the bottom of the pancake-cone. It so happens that even when the ingredients are so average, you can still make a good mesh out of them. But the ingredients are in need of improvement, so that satisfaction arrives on the first bites, rather than the last ones.
