Praline

Posted by jenz on 9:22 PM

Leaving Cafe De Paris, we walked several blocks to Plaza Bisnis Kemang. At the back of the building, right next to Die Stube restaurant (will try this next time), is a French Crêperies. The room was quite dark, decorated in red classic wallpaper wth several vintage posters on the wall. I felt like I were on Moulin Rouge's movie set. This place is famous for their home made ice cream, sorbet and crepes, but they also serve several kinds of savory dishes.

From their crêpes sucráes au froment (sweet crepes) selection we ordered the Flambé (crepes with mandarin liquor flambe served with vanilla ice cream) 40K, and from the coupes garnies (home made ice creams and sorbets) we ordered Can Can (vanilla, coffee and rum raisin ice cream served with espresso sauce, chocolate jelly, meringue and chantilly) 39K. The ice cream portion was very generous and tasted delicious, but the star of the show was the wonderful crepes. Served in flamed liquor, it tasted very different from the crepes we usually had. I love the bitterness of the liquor, which balanced the sweet vanilla ice cream and savory crepes. All of that dissapeared rather quickly from our sight. :)

Jenz, as lia said die stube is really famous for their pork knuckle...but it takes 2 hrs preparation..so my advice u have to order it on ur way there...their bratkatoffeln (german fried potatoes) is way better than the one @ ya udah...they had delicious bratwurst and pork steak 2

Hi Jen.. Hot chocolate-nya juga enaaak. Pekat, kental dengan sedikit chilli (CMIIW)yang bikin rasanya lebih unik. Sama dgn Lindie, saya juga suka crepe gandumnya yang pake smoked salmon, yumm....
