The more the munchier: Choux Love, Sydney

We originally wrote this post early in the year but never got around to publishing it. Some parts may be out of date.

How does 20 layers of thin crepes interspersed between layers of cream sound? If like us, you're already hungry, read on about the mille crepes at Choux Love!

"Mille" means 1000 in French and whilst there isn't actually 1000 layers of crepe, this classic French cake has been given a bit of an Asian spin by Choux Love and is worth checking out.

Choux Love is hidden in Sydney's Chinatown, in a little arcade nestled between Dixon and Sussex Street. The interior is simple and quite dainty and the kitchen occupies more than half of the actual shop space. The owners may not be French, but they're certainly onto something, giving this traditional French recipe a bit of an Asian spin.

C went back quite a few times to buy these cakes so we could try a few more flavours and not stuff ourselves silly with sugar all in one dose. After many tries, our verdict remains the same - the durian mille crepe is by far the favourite. The durian flavours offsets the sweetness of the cake and we only wish that the durian flavours are even more intense!

If you're looking for dessert in Chinatown, definitely give this a try!
