Wondrous Mille Crepe at Nadeje Café Sdn. Bhd.

I've been craving for cakes a long, long time. This was my second visit here and I can't help myself from satisfying my sweet tooth at Nadeje Sdn. Bhd, famous for its mille crepe or also known as "thousand layers cakes". Mille Crepe is a French cake made of many crepe layers. “Mille” means “a thousand” in French, implying the many layers of crepe used. 


My first cake there was the Original Mille Crepe. The origin of Nadeje Mille Crepe, a cake made of custard cream with Tahitian Vanilla Beans mix with Fresh Cream. The layers worked wonders, with each melting smoothly in your mouth once you take a bite. The only thing that stays was the rich taste and aroma of the cakes. 


I prefer Tiramisu and the original Mille Crepe the most. It's light and creamy, as light as feather. 

Tiramisu  - Rich profound taste of high quality Mascarpone cheese of Galbani, Italy. 

Cafe - Moderately sweet and aromatic taste of roasted Italian Coffee cake. 

Cheese - Freshness of New Zealand Cream cheese and home made Lemon Jam. 

Chocolate Banana Cheese Cake - Harmony of home made banana jam and New Zealand cream cheese.  


The drinks and beverages were said to made from fresh ingredient without any artificial colourings. There are a wide variety of drinks for you to choose from soft drinks, teas (strawberry, berry berry, apple, etc), matcha milk, ginger ale, milkshake, yakult drinks, fresh juices,etc. 


This was my favourite of the drinks we ordered. 







This is not really of my liking. However, my friend prefers this though, it's fizzy, rather like Soda. Great for those who love soft drinks. 


It felt great trying their salad udon after eating so much of strong spices and thick gravy in the past few days. Something light for the taste buds. 

The Salad Udon - It's so fresh, love the vegetables, and light taste with mayonnaise as well as a little bit of tuna on top. 

The food was okay and the prices were affordable. Quite similar to those other chain stores and branches of cake houses or cafes.  


You'll need an ice box for take aways if you live far from the cake house. Bring it from home, or otherwise you can get it from the cake house. The cakes were priced at RM 8.50 per slice and RM 65.00 for a whole cake if I was not mistaken. 


For cake ordering, you need to place your order early, 3-6 working days are required to process your order.

Satay Capitol and Prawn Noodles

" Sometimes one of the greatest delights of life is food! "



During travel, it's nice to experience the culture and authentic cuisines found in different parts of the world. I went to Malacca town, Malacca, Malaysia few months ago for a two day trip. It was an exciting food tour. I got to try some of the town 's specialty. Had a quick lunch in the afternoon. We had prawn noodles at the town center.


Prawn noodles



A little spicy. Nevertheless, most locals think that it is not spicy after all. It adds flavour to the noodles and soup.


During the night, we went to the famous Satay Capitol.


Front view of the Restaurant


It is often crowded especially during the weekends where poeple from all over Malaysia as well as tourists from Singapore and Europe flock to the restaurant.

I found some European backpackers on holiday to Langkawi and had dropped by Malacca to try this gastronomical delight. They said they found out about it in the Food Guide Book.




We started queing around 6 pm and had managed to get a place in the restaurant at around 7.30 pm. Considered lucky and pretty fast actually!! Sometimes you may not even get a place.



Beware of imposters!! Shop owner reminding visitors that they are the only restaurant and there's no other branches!!



Authentic and one of its kind, the original restaurant owner (Maybe grandpa or great grandpa of today's owner?) was the founder of this special cuisine. It had been more than 3 generations of family business . Nevertheless, there are no branch in Malacca or anywhere else.


A worker ensuring that the sause is mixed well

What is so special about this cuisine lies in the gravy. It is a special sause made of peanuts and other flavourings (not sure, secret recipe of the owner). After we were seated, the worker prepared the pots and poured in the sause. When the time was just right, other ingredients and peanuts were added into the sause.


While waiting for the gravy to boil, we went to get our selections. There are many choices available, mostly of fishballs, dices of meat, sausages. All ingredients are very fresh. These are inserted into sticks.


Our favourite! MYR 80 cents (RM 0.80) per stick for all types. Those in plates are slightly more expensive, around RM 3-5.




In Asian countries especially the Chinese community, they always believe in Yin and Yang balance. Therefore, because the sause may be heaty, so the owner provided customers some cucumbers to cool down our system.


After the sause is boiled, put your choices of sticks in and wait till it is cooked.





Ready to eat! Yummy!!!




Usually, towards the end of your meal the owner will offer you these delicious abalone, prawns and seafood at the same price of MYR 80 cents.

The owner greeted us and we had a short chat. He was very kind and friendly. He gave us some specially brewed coffee of his own collection. That was sometimes New, a very aromatic coffee indeed.

For those who had never tried, it is definetely something not to be missed.
