Gone were the days when Malacca was perhaps the only place to have mille crepe. Now, there are couple of cafes that offer the almost similar legendary dessert in Klang Valley. And this is one of them which was opened not long ago. It is said that this particular one is by the person (and/or originator) who made the dessert famous in Malaysia.

For first timers, it is tough to locate this cafe due to its tiny occupied vicinity. But fret not as it is located right beside Subway restaurant. There are very few seats in the cafe and even fewer selections of desserts available than I first thought it would have.

You will be disappointed if you would to compare them with the selection you see from their website. The usual ones like Vanilla, Coffee and Chocolate are on the menu but let’s hope that they expand their menu in near future.

French Vanilla Mille Crepe by Humble Beginnings

Since choices were limited, we opted for each of French Vanilla (RM9.90) and Coffee Bliss (RM9.90) flavour. Texture wise, we found that the crepes were a little thicker than the ones in Malacca. It was harder to cut through with given fork.

Maybe they had been sitting in the fridge for quite some time which made the crepe to harden a little bit, I don’t know. But in terms of flavour, it was still as good as it supposed to be. The taste of vanilla and coffee was subtle but yet able to impart their iconic essence.

All in all, they were good. Just that the thickness that got us wondering if this is normal. Nevertheless, one would not need to go that far off for a good slice of mille crepe anymore as there are plenty of choices in Kuala Lumpur now!

This particular stall has been in my must-visit list for as long as I could remember, all thanks to the power of internet (blogs). And for a pancake lover like me, one could not resist the temptation to try out different varieties / combinations of fillings in a single pancake as most of the pancake stalls in Klang Valley (Kuala Lumpur) only serve the generic version; crushed peanuts, sugar, corns and grated coconuts.

With over 20 types of combinations, one could not possibly bored of it. Safe fillings such as crushed peanuts, peanut butter and sweet kernel corns are available while for the more adventurous food lovers, ingredients such as tuna, egg, banana, cheese, turkey ham, sausages and brown sugar are all available for selection. However, do bear in mind that regardless of what ingredients you are choosing, the base ingredient for the pancake will always be crushed peanuts.

Besides the available combinations, what I like about this stall is its thickness of the pancakes and the amount of fillings given. As shown in the photos, the thickness was just nice while fillings were packed to the brim.
