La Creperie

By | Foodie | 2 Comments

Last week, I met up with my bestfriend, Eds to catch up and to get my copy of our Velada coffeetable book!

Previous entry:  What is a Velada July 19, 2013 

She took me to her side of town and we went to La Creperie.  We wanted to eat near the new Rustan’s Fresh at P. Guevara

Eds told me that this place is owned by our friend, Cheese Ledesma Ong who is also behind the Big Chill.

They have already 4 branches – Eastwood Mall, Shangri-la Mall, Robinsons and this branch in Little Baguio

 Heart2Heart loves these type of places!!! Cozy, dainty, fresh, cool, bright and perfect to meet up with friends 


 They serve TWG!




It’s a small and narrow space so there is a second floor which I forgot to go up to before leaving to take photos

I got this photo from their facebook page

Preparing our crepes

Eds ordered the Savoyarde for me because she knows I like raclette 🙂

Le JJ was really good too 🙂  The basic ham and cheese – Yum!




Banana Foster for dessert 🙂

 You can also make your own crepe!

All photos from hereon are not our orders but food coming out of the kitchen and passing us.  Just making sure since you might think we ate all of that! 🙂

Don’t forget your Red Plaid card

Right beside La Creperie is a Spanish restaurant which Eds said is also very good – need to go back with the gang so we can share more dishes! 🙂

I am sharing this beautiful video which my batchmates made!  I was asked to go to the shoot and be part of the video – after seeing the finished product, I regret not showing up.  I don’t like to regret not doing things!  Let’s not have regrets and show up for the many beautiful events in our life – one of them is the Velada!  Thank you to Karla Siopongco Campos for putting together all the videos!!
