Saturday desserts@Canele

The chic choc was really good ... Simply a wonderful dessert. It was not something unique and expensive at $15. Chic Choc is one of canele sweet crepes offerings, not that the crepes are sweet, it is the ice cream, ingredients and condiments on it. My chic choc comes with one scoop of chocolate ice cream, dashes of warm chocolate sauces here and there, numerous meringue pieces, 4 huge pieces of chocolate shards, chocolates cookies and vanilla cream, all these on top of a big piece of crepe.


The crepe itself was done just right to golden brown though not really hot. You can just eat it alone with some maple syrup, quite nice. The chocolate ice cream was the different from the others, it was rich in chocolate but it has another taste which couldn't make out what could that be, anyway it was good. The meringue was crisp on the outside and goes well with the warm chocolate sauce.

The chocolate cookies or crumble pieces are not too overwhelming and adds another level of chocolate in this dessert. The shards are abit too much as you finished the whole thing. The vanilla cream, definitely not the usual whipped cream.

The simple hot crepes surprises as well both on taste and price. Paris ham, Emmental cheese and sunny side up. I think maybe the crepes are done nicely and with the correct ingredients, the creation was good. And also of course I like crepes !
