I’ve never heard of Crepe de Chine since it’s located in Binondo, Manila. I almost never go to Binondo since it’s so far and I always hear of really bad traffic stories. I didn’t have any expectations when I opened the styro container. It didn’t look so good. I didn’t even know what was inside the crepe. When I took a bite I was very pleased with the soft crepe and the burst of flavors and textures that assaulted my taste buds.
I opened the crepe and realized it was salad inside a crepe. It had lettuce, grilled chicken, ham, cucumber, asparagus, tomatoes, pineapple, cheese and dressing. I had one crepe for lunch. It was very filling and satisfying. I never thought of putting salad inside a crepe. It sounds odd but the combination works! It’s a welcome change from the usual creamy savory or sweet and fattening crepes.
I like the food of Crepe de Chine based on these 2 dishes. I hope they open in Greenhills or Ortigas area or else I doubt if I’d ever get to try their other dishes.
