Crazy Crepes

November 19, 2009 • Hello. I am currently out of the country and unable to respond to comments and e-mails. Rest assured, however, that future posts have been scheduled so new recipes will go live almost everyday during my absence. I'll be back soon with lots of stories and photos. Ciao for now! ~ Connie

PhP 85.00 to PhP 110.00 for a crepe might sound a bit steep but Crazy Crepes have fruits, whipped cream, ice cream, nuts, syrup—the combinations vary—and they are huge. The price actually was reasonable, everything considered.

I am not sure how many Crazy Crepes outlets there are in the Philippines or whether it is a local brand or merely a franchise of a foreign company. The Crazy Crepes we went to was in Greenhills. Models of the available choices were encased in two large glass windows and, because everything just looked delectable, we had a hard time deciding what we wanted. I had blueberry, Sam chose strawberries, Alex went for mangoes and Speedy ordered apple with cinnamon.

If a picture if worth a thousand words, well, below are photos from Crazy Crepes which I took through the glass.

Crepes are freshly made. The crepe is laid out and whipped cream is added. Then, some corn flakes.

Your fruit of choice comes next. Some crepes come with a scoop of ice cream; others don’t.

Syrup is drizzled over the ice cream, fruits and cream—caramel for the apple and cinnamon; chocolate for the strawberries.

The crepe is then folded and rolled…

And served a la ice cream in a cone—with a spoon. You can just bite on it, scoop the ice cream and fruits with a spoon or you can unroll the paper and enjoy the crepe as though you were eating off a plate.

The best thing is that the crepes are prepared before your eyes so you be the judge on issues of hygiene and sanitation.

Wonderfully delicious!

UPDATE @ 7.12 p.m. Crazy Crepes is a US company with origins in Japan.

So I won’t get bugged with questions about franchising, here is the link.

    Ms. Connie,

    There are three (3) Crazy Crepes outlets that I know of. The one you visited in Greenhills, another in SM North (The Block), and a third one inside the Shell gas station along SLEX (Northbound lane).

    Ang sarap-sarap talaga ng crepes nila grin My favorite so far is the Mango Nutella kind. Actually, anything basta with mangoes and/or strawberries. Yum. Yum.

    Have this here for a long time now.  Good as a dessert or as a quick meal.  We also have it with ham/cheese/bacon. Yummy LOL

    Hey!  Thank you so much for the kind words about Crazy Crepes!  Many more locations to come in the Philippines.  We love it there!  By the way, the Mango crepes were specially developed for this market.  Then it caught on in Australia and Japan.  But nothing beats the Philippine mangos.
