La Crêperie de Caroline. We've passed by the crêperie several times when we've had to run some errands around Telawi, but have never ventured in until now. After being seated, we were presented a special menu (a printed piece of paper in a sheet of plastic, really) which showed us the selection of crêpes we could pick from for the deal. As you can see above, we decided on the La Fermiere (savoury) and caramelised apples and homemade salted butter caramel (sweet).

After reading rave reviews about the food, I'd have to say I thought the La Fermiere was a bit of a letdown. It was rather one-dimensional in taste, and the cheese got a little cloying after awhile. I felt the chicken pieces would have been better off ground and folded in as part of the crêpe rather than sitting atop the crêpe looking a little bit like an afterthought, but that's just a personal preference. 

I've always been a savoury over sweet sort of person, but surprisingly I found myself preferring the sweet crêpe. A little bit sweeter than I'd like (disclaimer: I don't have much of a sweet tooth),sure, but the delicious caramelised apples and homemade salted butter caramel proved to be a winning combination, likely to delight the tastebuds of any dessert lover.

The savoury crêpe came with a simple side salad, and both sets came with a choice of iced lemon tea or iced peach tea.

It was certainly a refreshing change to our lunch menu; truth be told, we might not have tried Caroline's if not for the voucher. Paying above RM20 for a crepe is just a little out of our price range for lunch on a typical day.

Tax: Service charge  of 10% and government tax of 6% (or so it was stated in the deal)

How much we paid: RM17
