Crepes With a Smile

First Published in Options, The Edge Malaysia, 28 February, 2015

A gustatory diversion into imaginative renderings of crepes with a variety of fillings

“No strangers … only friends we haven’t met” proclaims the sign on the wall above the painting of a gentlemanly bear holding hands with his foxy lady friend.  And that sets the theme for the friendly service at Strangers at Forty7, an outlet started in mid-2014 that has crepes as its central theme. It continues a trend in culinary experimentation that has seen independent eateries offering burgers, pies and latterly, waffles prepared in non-traditional ways. What these experiments seem to share in common is youthful enthusiasm and the desire to produce something original, and Strangers at Forty7 is no exception in these respects.
