Today I got the jambalaya. It was good for what I could taste while sick. My dad got The Stallion and my sister got Au Bon Curry. I liked those too, but it was easier to detect the spiciness of the jambalaya one. In any case, we also split the Napolean.

Today I came back with five of my friends. While the main goal was to get sweet crepes, two of my friends split a Crepe Carbonara and I split an Al Mare three ways with the two of them.
This Al Mare is absolutely delicious! I love the taste of mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes bursting in my mouth. My self-assigned third didn't have so much shrimp. Including the shrimp set on top, I had three shrimp. Note that the one on top has its tail on for presentation, but the shrimp inside have their tail removed.

Al Mare Jumbo shrimp, sun-dried and plum tomatoes, wild mushrooms, shallots and mozzarella cheese in a lobster basil cream sauce

After the Al Mare, I had a taste of the Crepe Carbonara. I find the chicken too dry, the sauce too thin, and perhaps the bacon too crisp. I don't know. Maybe it's good, but I like the Al Mare more. 4:22PM PT

I didn't have any of this, but Stephanie and Phuong seemed to finish it quickly enough.

Originally Michael and Josh were going to split this. But Michael got pretty far into it by the time Josh finished his portion of the savory crepes, so instead it became Michael's to consume and share bites. I found the banana to be just a little on the mushy side. The taste is mostly good. Perhaps the banana flavor was too strong.

After having tried Michael's Martinique, I started diving into my Crepe Tiramisu. The tiramisu was too soggy. But if you like tiramisu, then perhaps you'd enjoy this crepe anyways.

While consuming my tiramisu, Stephanie cut a little sample of the Poire Belle Helene for me to try. The pear was good. I also like how the textural and slight contribution of the toasted almonds. 4:39PM PT

Favorite Crepe: Al Mare.
Remark: In hindsight, it was a good idea I had the Crepe Tiramisu come out after the Al Mare, otherwise the ice cream would have certainly melted before I finished the Al Mare.
Tip: Have your dessert crepe come out after your entree. Of course, if you're only getting dessert, have it come out while others are having their entree.
Tip: Sharing is caring.
