Sweet treats

Lets start it off with something sweet..

Crepes a la Normande Style - Refer to Recipes section


Sight- Golden brown crepes glazed with shiny apricot glaze. Apple cubes shimmering as the caramelized sauce coats and oozes out from the crepes. A snowy effect from the icing sugar.


Nose - Smells of cooked pastry with apple aromas which give a sweet distinct smell of calvados. The perfectly cooked apples gives it a caramelized burnt aroma.


Texture - Delicate and crispy skin that compliments with the soft yet crunchy apples that ends off with a powdery feeling.


Flavour - Intense buttery-like crepes flavour with sweet and sour apples that gives a tinge of alcohol from the calvados. Slowly, the tongue gets covered with the caramelized sauce and lingers.


Feeling - Upon closing your eyes, you'll feel that it warms up ur mouth but as it moves around your mouth, the sensation just bursts into your palates.
