I was browsing newly listed restaurants on OpenRice and found this one.
Kramp House caught my attention.
Kramp House sounded interesting. I didnt know what to expect, but KRAMP sounded like Cramp, so I was wondering if the restaurant was small and cramped but actually they probably chose the name because Krampouz is a famous manufacturer for crepe and waffle making machinery in France.
I wondered if their machinery was also from Krampouz.
Anyway, it was listed as a French restaurant on OpenRice, but after searching it on the internet, found out they served French Crepes.
There are now two Creperie restaurants in Wan Chai, and this one is closer in distance to Alliance Francais.
Apart from this restaurant, there is another newly opened restaurant called Madam Sixty Ate (headed by an Aussie and an English chef) at J senses which was also tempting to go, but I opted to go to this one.
It is located on Ship Street where Shakembuns used to be, I was actually quite surprised it had closed down, there is only one branch remaining in Central.
Anyway, the decor of that restaurant matched that street and it was very modern, however the name and design of the logo made me feel like I was in Belgium.
The restaurant had a simplistic modern colour theme, red, black, white and silver, the tables were red, and chairs were silver.
The menu was red with black and white fonts and the menu cover had their logo on it.
The chairs were actually solid metal!
Anyway be prepared for the icy coldness of the metal chairs, If you are wearing thin material, short skirt/shorts you will feel the icy coldness of the metal chair on your skin!
It takes a few seconds to get accustomed to it!
It reminded me of jumping in icy cold water and the coldness passing from the lower limbs to the upper body!
Foodwise, this place serves savoury crepes, sweet crepes and waffles.
On weekdays they have set lunches like La Creperie and on weekends it is A la Carte, but there are more choice for A la Carte.
The pricing is slightly cheaper than La Creperie.
At La Creperie it felt like a local town in France, and the restaurant was more masculine, however Kramp house had more French femininity to it but it felt more like Belgium.
I ordered four crepes two savoury and two sweet ones.
Le complete, Le Poulet, Le Tatin and Le Tartine
******************************
Le complete:
This was simply cheese, ham, egg.
It was simple and delicious, however I cant compare it to La Creperie because I havent had their version of le complete.
The crepe was crisp and slightly soft in the centre, the egg yolk was good for dipping the crisp parts of the crepe.
The crepe was topped with fresh chives and the cheese inside this crepe was just melted and I loved that texture.
The ham was wafer thin, it was pale think but it was delicious, not too salty.
******************************
Le Poulet:
This crepe contained chicken, mushrooms, parsley. creme fraiche, garlic and cheese.
This was also nice, it was creamy, the chicken that was used was white meat, and the mushrooms were button mushrooms.
******************************
Le Tatin:
This was a sweet crepe filled with stewed apple, creme fraiche and sprinkled with cinnamon.
The sweetness of the apple was just right, the apple was apple puree.
******************************
Le Tartine:
Tartine with fig jam
This was also a sweet crepe with a choice of jam, so I chose Fig, it was quite sweet.
******************************
All crepes were folded into a square and served on a rectangular plate.
The crepes arrived quite fast and they did not arrive one by one.
I cant wait to come again for more crepes!
Je voudrais délicieux crêpe à bientôt!
