If you've been to Brittany before
And crave her food from Singapore
Then read about this creperie
That'll douse some of that misery
Le P'tit Breton, 200 Upper Thomson Road, #01-11A Thomson Imperial Court

Thursday night, some quasi-members of a food-enthusiasts club of sorts headed down to Upper Thomson Rd to taste la Bretagne (Brittany). It's a region in the north-western part of France. In the picture above, you can see pictures of gorgeous Brittany hanging on the homey, orange walls of the crêperie.
Breton cuisine is traditionally crêpes (pancakes) - either savoury (when made with buckwheat flour) or sweet (usually for desserts), washed down with a bottle of apple cider.
Depending on the sort of crêpes you eat, you can choose to have a light / heavy meal. We tried a variety of different flavoured crêpes - because there were so many types to choose from! And numerous bottles of apple cider! Mais...c'est la Bretagne, n'est ce pas??
a) chicken sausage and eggs
e) apple caramel and chocolate
f) banana caramel and rum
g) simple crêpe made with butter and eggs and lightly sprinkled with sugar
(you can definitely have more than 3 of these over and above your meal as we witnessed and heard about!)
h) crêpe suzette - orange juice, lemon juice and Grand Manier liquor (zesty and citric!)
I know many vegetarians. This is a place you could go to and find something to eat - aside from what we had above, there are other cheesy crêpes as well as with tomato toppings. Plus, their selection of dessert crêpes is amazing so you can even head down there just for some sweet crêpes and cider.
Cider, like beer and wine is vegetarian - so drink away! Else, opt for the coffees on the menus.Another thing I appreciate about this place is that it tries to stay as authentic a crêperie as possible. According to the lady boss, the menu is typical of what you would find in Brittany if you went there.
I wrote a more formal article for a friend who is coming up with his online magazine really soon - check it out!
