Crepe Suzette and a little after-dinner drinks at Château 33 made for the perfect intimate gathering.
I didn’t expect Crepe Suzette to steal the night, but it did — and in the best way possible.
Dinner at Château 33, tucked inside Prangin Mall in George Town, ended with my first-ever Crepe Suzette experience.
Honestly, I’m still thinking about it.
I’ve always loved pancakes.
So, when I first discovered Mille Crepes cake — with its twenty-two layers of paper-thin crepes and whipped pastry cream in between — I was over the moon.
But that night at Château 33, the Crepe Suzette stole the show and completely bowled me over.
Good Wine selection.
Impressive! Size does matter!
Opulent Private Rooms.
Chillaxx to some cool sounds.
For nibbles, we ordered some Onion Rings and Nachos.
What Makes Crepe Suzette So Special?
The French really know how to elevate humble pancakes.
They turn them into a dazzling dessert, full of flavor and flair.
The classic Crepe Suzette is no exception — it’s served freshly cooked.
The pancakes are drenched in a luscious caramelized butter and sugar sauce.
The concoction is brightened by fresh orange juice and finished with a splash of Grand Marnier.
Watching Crepe Suzette Come to Life
What really made it special was the tableside preparation.
The dining room captain brought out a small cooking cart with a gas stove, which immediately drew everyone’s attention.
Watching the process unfold felt like a mini performance.
First, butter and sugar melted together in a skillet.
Then, the sugar caramelized to a beautiful golden gloss.
Orange juice was added next, simmering down to a fragrant reduction.
Finally, the crepe was warmed through before Grand Marnier was poured in and flambéed.
It lit up the dish with dancing flames.
The flames danced briefly, lighting up the table.
The tableside drama was simply unforgettable.
Watching the servers in action felt like a tribute to their craftsmanship and skill.
Every move showed care and precision.
That moment made me realize just how much love goes into crafting the perfect Crepe Suzette.
It’s not just a dessert—it’s an experience.
The dish itself balances bright citrus and sweetness with rich, buttery goodness.
All of that wrapped up in a delicate, soft crepe that practically melts in your mouth.
The tableside cooking cart with a gas stove draws attention during the dining captain’s live preparation.
Melt butter and sugar, then add orange juice and simmer until glossy and slightly reduced.
Add the crepe to the pan and warm through. Grand Marnier is added and flambé with the added crepe.
Crepe Suzette
All elements of added drama were present for finishing the crepes and pays homage to the “back of house”.
