"Thousand Layered Cake"

Many who asked me where to find this "Thousand Layered Cake" in Melaka. To be honest, I've NEVER heard of it before they've asked me. I'm more like a Subang people now since I spent most of my time here and I rarely go back to Melaka. Hence, after more than 2 months+ in Subang, I decided to head back to Melaka. Coincidently, my sister was back from Johor, and to make things simpler for me, I've asked her about this "Thousand Layered Cake". After, giving some description of it that I got from my friends who asked me about it, she finally recognized it and showed me exactly where the shop is located.

Nadeje, located in Dataran Pahlawan at the same level to the field, near Old Town White Coffee, sells this cake (if I'm not mistaken there have another shop in Mahkota Parade). According to my sister, the shop owner is a Japanese who learned French cooking and created the crepe cake (pardon me if this information is false cause I can't recall properly).

Tadaa!! Urm.. someone took a huge bite before I could take any pictures of it >.<

Apparently, "Thousand Layered Cake" is just a nickname for this cake. It is actually Crepe Cake as you can see there are many layers of crepe (sorry for the bad picture quality, didn't bring back GF1).

I tasted 4 different flavors of the crepe cakes: Original, Chocolate Banana, Chocolate, & Mango Yogurt. I like Mango Yogurt the most. It was the cake of the day and it is slightly more expensive than the others (normal RM8+, mango yogurt RM9+). My verdict of this cake? It is distinct but overall, tasted mediocre. Why? I think it depends on individuals. I have sweet-tooth so I have a thing for sweet stuff. So for me, it didn't really meet my sweet-expectations. However, my grandma, who prefer less sweet stuff, like it. In conclusion, this crepe cake is a new, unique & distinctive (I bet there will be copy-cats by the next few years) thing to try out. I'm not promoting this but hey, just try it! It's a new experience :D You can feel those layered part when you eat it xD
