Coffee & Living

A beautiful cafe. Very Instagram worthy place.

About the food, it seems like they love crepes so much they serve everything with crepes. Both sweet and savoury.

Purple Rage (RM9)

Sweet potato crepe with Japanese potatoes, sago and pandan infused gula melaka.

I ordered this because it's purple. Bimbo decision. As for the taste, it was really weird actually. I think sweet potatoes and gula melaka just didn't work very well.

Green Tea Molten Lava Cake (RM13)

So very Molten and they definitely did use good grade Matcha powder. Love it!

Some of the other crepes - my suggestion is do not be too adventurous, stick with the flavours you're familiar with. I'm surprised they don't have my favourite Nutella Banana Crepes though! It reminds me of summer in the UK :)

Greyhound is another popular cafe started off in Bangkok.

Like any other cafes, they have a wide range of food and drinks. This place serves alcohol, but not quite ready for beer yet on their first week of opening.

Like any other cafe, they serve savoury food too.

This table for the 3 of us is definitely too small. 4 dishes with wine and we are already struggling. Maybe they don't encourage people to share as the portions are quite small. Us on the other hand loves to share, so we can try a few dishes in one visit.

Sea Salt Caramel Chocolate Cake (RM22)

Very smooth chocolate cake... I would normally avoid chocolate or caramel because it's too sweet for me, but this is just so different!! The sea salt neutralises the overall and it was made to be not that sweet for people like me! Though I have to admit, RM22 for a slice of cake is ridiculous.

Coconut Crepe (RM22)

The crepes are not that great. Crepes are slightly too thick. If it is thinner with more layers of crepes inside it would have been prefect. There is real coconut meat inside, which gives that natural coconut taste. Again, RM22 for that slice of cake is just ridiculous.

Banofee (RM18)

Nothing special. Very tiny portion of Banoffee served in the jar. It is very pretty, but not as wonderful when we started to dig in.

Desserts itself already went up to RM60ish. It was OK but not that fantastic for that kind of price.

Cakes in Klang Valley are at most going for RM14 - RM18 per slice. RM22 for a cafe cake.. Uhh... Not sure if there will be a second time.

The wine too, is way too overpriced for a cafe.

Overall food is alright, there are many selections, from Thai to Western. But again, some of the prices are just exorbitant... as though we are going for some fine dine. Dewakan Malaysia's portion may be small, but the price justifies because it is really good and you can tell the amount of effort they put to decorate the dish. Here in Greyhound it's just a very normal cafe (well, it's quite beautiful inside) but the prices are just a little shocking for the portion with minimal effort to decorate. Very honestly speaking, the desserts are worth my time but the savoury food, just don't bother.

Very thinly prepared "pancake" (crepe) and generous amount of nutella topped with banana slices

There are so many choices to pick from - from sweet to savoury with over 20 choices (or more!). Avocado, nutella, banana, strawberry, cheese, bacon, too many to even remember all of it! It is freshly made and served hot - it is so good it melts in the mouth! If you're not one with big appetite do order one to share. One portion is pretty huge and filling. I'm not quite sure of the savoury pancakes (the combination doesn't sound right to me), but the sweet pancake, something with nutella is definitely the right choice if you can't decide. I didn't pay much attention but I remember they do serve other types of desserts too, like ice cream.

Ever tried the famous crepe cake from Japan? If you're living in Malacca (or going there for a visit), be sure to visit Nadeje Bakery for the super fantastic Japanese crepe layer cake.

Nadeje Bakery only sells this cake to keep their business going. Can you imagine the popularity? Although they only sell one type of this layer cake, it comes in different flavours.

If you're a first timer, I would advise you to take the Original flavour first. The white chocolate cheese isn't that nice though. But every other flavours are quite ok. The green tea one is not bad. And the blackforest (or is it the strawberry and chocolate) one is also highly recommended.

Now, what is so special about this layer cake? Other than it's Japan product (everything Japanese is nice ne?), it is very soft. I mean very very very soft. The cake isn't baked from flour and egg like normal cake. They actually layer every single thin crepe and spread the cream in between.

One tip to eat this cake. You must always start from the tip of the cake. Slice them with a fork downwards. Do not use a spoon, it will ruin the cake. If you want to take away on a long journey, they do sell an icebox and it comes with dry ice to keep the cakes fresh.

Sadly, the cake is quite expensive though. It's about RM8.50 or RM9.50 per slice, depending on the flavour.

Nadaje Patisserie is located at Plaza Mahkota. Currently they have another branch at Dataran Pahlawan. Both in Malacca.
