A Friday evening as I dated my Mother for a dinner at 一風堂. She arrived way earlier than me, holding 2 number tickets for both 一風堂 and Curry House CoCo. My classes ran late so it took me over an hour to meet my Mum..by the time I arrived, she had already been standing for around two hours (Sorry Mum!). Expectedly, two hours of queuing was not enough for 一風堂 on a Friday evening..we had no choice but to give it up but turned to Curry House CoCo, which we waited another 45 minutes or so...I kept starring at the MENU and the customers inside the restaurant, wondering what has been the magical ingredient that sparkled the interest of all these curry cravers out here

Once we got the table, we sat ourselves down and ordered two set meals immediately, due to our excessive waiting time to have finely decided the best choice (which I later realised it was kinda a wrong decision). Looking at the branding of the restaurant, it was a very homey kind of Curry House, something that you would expect finding in somewhere around the corner of a high street in Japan, publicising the "home-made curry" and the "non-commerical" type of atmosphere. I was indeed influenced by this during my experience in Curry House Coco.

Walking into the restaurant, it was quite a refreshing scenery to me. Similiar to the name of the restaurant, the inner-decoration did not require any excessive items to decorate the restaurant. Instead, it used still colours such as red for tables and silver for chairs. White walls, mini blackboard and chalks for stand-up menus and black lamps for lit-up on the wall to give a sense of the 80s-90s. Everything so simple and quiet, just the right thing for a place of French Crepes.The Groupon offer that my mother and I purchased included a can of soft drink, an appetizer and a Savory galette complete. First came the can of soft drink and an appetizer - I ordered mash potato and my mother ordered salad. The mash potato was finely mashed, and flavoured. It was not too salty but it had a slight taste of salt and pepper. It was a light appetizer that one could ask for. As for the salad, my mother liked it a lot as the pieces of lettuce were very refresh and cool, nicely blended with the vinegar sauce. The soft drinks were just out of the fridge - making them cool and chilled to drink. Next arrived the maindish, the highlight of the Groupon offer, the Savory galette complete! This savory crepe contained a sunny-side up and slices of hams and cheddar cheese as in the ingredients. It was very attractive just to look at it.....and how did it taste? Well, on my first and second bites of the crepes..frankly, I was disappointed. As I continued to have my third and the fourth bites (and so on)..I felt more discouraged to go on! One, it was way, way TOO SALTY! It was weird that the plate that my mother had was less saltier than mine. Mine was very salty that I couldn't finish my plate after I had a few bites Two, the crepe was rather cold and hard, given that it had a thin layer, it felt like I was chewing a piece of 'overnight pizza crust' that was not crusty but chewy instead.Third, the flavour of the sunny-side up did not match with the crepe, and a bit bizzare when mixing with the slices of hams. I felt like I was eating..something of a breakfast but a French crepe breakfast? Oh gosh I had no idea...

All in all, I really wonder if my experience here in the Kramp House was truly an authentic French crepe journey as I did not feel any slight moment of the authenticness at all...my plate of Savory galette complete was quite, depressing. I was not full, obviously, after my meal. There were a lot of things to improve on, in the menu especially.
