During the last couple of weeks, I went to Malacca with my family! On our second day, we stopped by Nadeje to try out their Mille Crepe cakes! I've never ate a mille crepe cake before in my life, although somewhere in the town near to my hostel, there's a cafe selling mille crepe as well, I've still never tried any of them before. Maybe I wanted to save the first time for the best? Haha. People always say "save the best for the last" but this was totally the opposite.
A crepe is a kind of thin pancake made of wheat flour, while "mille crepe" means French cake made of many layers of crepe. The word "Mille" means "a thousand", pointing to the numerous layers of crepe that make up the cake itself. Between the crepe lies layers of cream, flavor depending on the cake itself.
It sounded so much like a guilty pleasure, but I just can't resist trying them out! Even if it breaks the screen on my bathroom scale! :P I have a sweet tooth and an extra stomach just for dessert purposes, so I definitely cannot miss this!
After reaching the cafe, it was literally flooded with people! Seriously, I felt bad making my family and my brother's girlfriend waiting for us to be seated. There was so many people in the waiting line until I wondered whether should I just order take away. The take-away line was so empty, there was no line whatsoever. In the end, I decided to queue up and wait no matter what. We can't just leave without enjoying the ambience for a little bit, can we?
The cafe was so considerate for the waiting line, they even provided long benches for customers to sit and rest, while the others lining up. After waiting for about 15-20 minutes, we finally get to enter the cafe! Also because we chose to sit outdoors rather than indoors. That's when I realized so many people preferred to sit indoors. For the air-cond? Haha. Just joking!
The cafe itself was decorated, I can say, kind of luxurious. It felt expensive, and the furniture in the cafe were tasteful. I can see they made the effort to make the cafe look like a high class cafe where people go and enjoy some hi-tea. Too bad I didn't take any photos of the interior, I was too busy rushing to our seats outdoors and grab the menu as fast as I can! *stomach rumbles*
Well, I don't really know what to order, but anyhow we ordered Mango Yogurt and Tiramisu Mille Crepe. Along with some drinks to refresh ourselves!
Mango Yogurt Mille Crepe
I love mangoes, that's why I ordered the Mango Yogurt Mille Crepe after flipping through their menu. Honestly, it was hard for me to even choose one because I had the urge to try every single cake in the house. I told myself, "Self control!" and just ordered one.
On the other hand, my brother ordered Tiramisu for no apparent reason. I guess it looked tasty. Haha. Btw, it's alcoholic. I even worried I might sleep on the table itself, because I get knocked out whenever any alcoholic stuff exceeds my tolerance level. Luckily, this one wasn't so strong (?) haha. This cake had high quality of Mascarpone Cheese from Galbani, Italy. I don't really know what is that cheese, I mean, I don't even know the place Galbani. Still, I was super excited to try it out! *Gobble gobble*
The cakes were all so yummy! They have numerous layers of crepe interlacing between the cream. Since there was a generous amount of cream in one piece of cake, it wasn't too yucky. The cream was soft and smooth, not too sweet. I can see that each layer was made with their best effort. They were so even and pretty, I even stopped eating to admire the cake itself for a while. Before it gets complete devoured by us! Mwahaha! Om nom nom!
Nadeje has branches at different locations now, even in Klang Valley! The one I visited was in Mahkota Parade, though. They are so heavenly delicious .. I would so revisit again in the near future, if possible! <3 <3 <3
