Crêpes du Café, Kota Damansara

Crêpes du Café is Kota Damansara’s new French-inspired crêperie, a family passion project by trailblazing Malaysian mixologist Shawn Chong, who spent five formative schoolboy years in Paris.

Crafted by co-founder Amy, conscientiously cooking with an instinct for balance, these white-flour crêpes come in sweet and savoury styles, some blanketed with brûléed bananas, peanut butter and Kapiti ice cream, others rolled with shimeji mushrooms, battered oyster mushrooms and garlic butter.

For the heartiest helping, have these smooth, thickly tender crêpes crowned with chicken fillets, cherry tomatoes and a garlicky-rich, kitchen-simmered pomodoro sauce, paired with rouge-hued elderflower soda sweetened with strawberries and apples. Très charmant.
