Tucked at the void deck of an Ang Mo Kio flat, this hidden gem specialises in both sweet and savoury crepes, catering to a myriad of taste buds. Flambé Desserts And Mille Crepe Cakes At This HDB Cafe In Ang Mo Kio Food at Galettes Flambéed food will never fail to catch our attention, which is why we got the Crepe Suzette ($12.50) first.

The dessert crepe is drenched in their signature sauce, and served with orange slices and a scoop of gelato. Once the plate is brought to your table, the server will then flambé it with Cointreau.

One of the key components of flambé is to make sure you burn off most of the alcohol, lest you wind up with boozy food. Thankfully, the Crepe Suzette manages just that; leaving a clean orange taste to balance the sour orange slices.

Even if crepes are supposed to be plain, we would have preferred ours to be a tad sweeter to make up for the average gelato. Filling up the layers of this mille crepe cake is a rich vanilla bean custard.

Going to Eating it together with the torched sugar top, a nice dimension to the dessert, with the crunch from the sugar counterbalancing the creamy custard. The layers managed to hold together and didn’t deflate even after multiple stabs.

Biting into the Funghi & Cheese ($10) unleashed a cornucopia of decadent flavours, courtesy of the buttery mushrooms and melted cheese. A minor complaint was that the crepe was doughy, even if that could be because we didn’t consume it immediately.

The biggest surprise that day were the Har Cheong Kai Wings ($8) . Eating it proved to be another pleasant experience, as the flesh was tender and had the right amount of saltiness.

The Truffle Fries ($8) were exactly how I liked ‘em: crispy with a fluffy interior. Ambience at Galettes The ambience here is one that deserves high praise.
