Wanting some Western food for dinner, we decided to go to Café Crêpe. For those who have lived in Toronto in the last 20 years, you will know that we had our own Café Crêpe on Queen Street. It opened when I was in high school and I went there every time I ventured downtown (which was a lot, 'cause I used to go to a lot of local rock shows) and it was one of my restaurant staples well into university. It became a Queen Street icon. Except COVID happened. And then it permanently closed, after nearly two decades of business. But for some odd reason, their locations in Vancouver and Hong Kong remained opened. I didn't even know they had locations outside of Canada, but I FOUND ONE.

I decided to get the West Coast savoury crêpe (which has smoked salmon, cream cheese, red onion, spinach, and dill) because I didn't want something too heavy. It was good but I do think one of the other options with meat and cheese would've worked better with the sweetness of a crêpe. What was magical, though, was the HK Style French Toast sweet crêpe, which I assume is a Hong Kong exclusive item. Egg, peanut butter, sweetened condensed milk, maple syrup, and icing sugar — it tasted EXACTLY like HK-style French toast. It doesn't replace an actual HK-style French toast, mind you (it lacks, you know, the toast part), but it was good enough of a replacement that I felt like I ate one.
