Hey guys, how are you doing in the new week?
I enjoyed the weekend so much, joining the party at a friend's home, competing tennis skills on wii, and shopping around in Natick Mall, even my parents who used to video chat with me in weekends complained that they couldn't see me cuz i was too busy hanging out with my friends, haha~
And i think last week was filled with surprise, one of which is the new spot we "explored" - Melt cafe. Li, one of my Chinese friends, lived in Italy for 2 years pursing her first master's degree before coming to Boston, strongly recommended us to try Melt's sweet crepe when we were considering about shopping together, and i have to admit that it's the most important reason that i decided to put my assignments aside and join them, lol~
So, this dessert seems to be easy making, and we can see the procedure from the small hub's glass wall. They put a small amount of flour mix, and then flip it to make both sides a crisp, then some chocolate syrup was drawn onto the thin crepe, and the second round of syrup was added after it was folded like a napkin.
In the beginning I wanted to try some combo type since the basic crepe was too simple with only syrup and cream, but it turned out to be sooo classic and unforgettable, since my tongue was totally overwhelmed by the hazelnut flavor of the chocolate syrup as well as the creamy taste of the crepe!
After the happy moment enjoying this dessert, i began to consider that if i could make it at home, and I thought i could since the ingredients were not difficult to find, but i was wrong. The key step of making crepe is the flour mix, and I made it as a pancake rather than soft wrap...
Anyway, i can go to Melt though I can't make it by myself, and this is the only reason that I can use to comfort myself. :)
