Comments on: Angels Hearts and Marion Crepes at Harajuku http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/07/07/angels-hearts-and-marion-crepes-at-harajuku/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

I wonder how many they give a day? No no sweating for me, I love the heat and something you probably didn't know about me is that I can't actually sweat very much-odd but true! Hi M-Oh cool!! I get nostalgic when I read books about Tokyo or see pictures too. There's something about that strange city. I don't get the same about any other city that I've visited, I don't know why... I really wanted to get an Alice in Wonderland costume, did you ever get one of those? How fantastic, you'll have a great time, especially if the exchange rate continues like this :) I adore takoyaki but I haven't actually seen any stalls around. If I did, I'd be first in line, I love them! :) Thankyou! Hi Carolyn-Thanks for that! I should check it out and see if they are like Harajuku crepes :) Haha your mum sounds funny although a crepe isn't exactly a pancake :lol: Hi grace-hehe cool! Perhaps there is something like that if you have a Chinatown near you? :D Hi Lilia-I wonder why they closed down? Thanks for letting me know where we can get them here! :D Hi Maria-they did offer maybe half a dozen savoury crepe fillings but I got the feeling that sweet crepes were definitely the order of the day :) You're right, the wafer was like the bottom layer of a mille feuille! Hi Y-Since I lived there I've seen a few of the Sundays and was actually quite glad that we missed it crowd wise although I would have loved to have shown my husband everyone dressed up! It took me ages to have my first crepe, they just looked too big! Thanks! :) Hi SydneyGal-it sounds like they’ve been doing the free hugs for a while. I wonder how many they give a day?

The crush of people is just incredible. We saw all those crazy crepes, but not being crepe people, we steered clear of them. Great photos, by the way! I'm enjoying reading your travelogue :) Too bad you weren’t there during Sunday. The crush of people is just incredible.

I must take the kids to Hornsby to re-experience the crepes. Carolyn – thanks for the tip. I must take the kids to Hornsby to re-experience the crepes.

Did they offer any savoury fillings or were they all sweet? Interesting looking wafer also.. the texture I mean. It almost looks like it has buttery, flakiness.. mmmm. :) Pretty-looking food crepe stalls! Did they offer any savoury fillings or were they all sweet?

It is close to Boost stall, you will not miss it as it is green and got the candles display that look like the one Marion has above with limited filling and flavour.

Their buttermilk pancake is so yummy delicious and smell so nice. I had to satisfy myself with crepe stall inside Hurstville Mall, it is delicious Japanese crepe but it is not as nice as the one I had in Haymarket.

I thought it was pretty cool since I had never had a 'Japanese Crepe' before ;) I remember in year 4 we learned how to cook pancakes and I went home so excitedly wanting to cook for my mum. However she didn't like it. She complains to me, 'THAT is not a pancake.... I'll show you pancake' - and she makes a crepe and goes 'THIS is a pancake'. (She went to a French international school.) I had no idea what crepes were back then, and she had no idea what pancakes were back then! hehe They have a shop in Hornsby Westfield called Japan Crepes (or something like that), and make crepes like those too (probably not as good as the ones in Japan?)!!

I went to Tokyo in 2005 and Takeshita Dori's Angel Crepe photos made me gasp, sheer food nostalgia! I hate to admit to it, but I used to be a rather heavy Harajuku-phile... There's quite a cult following of the Elegant Gothic Lolita style outside of Japan. (Think Little Bo Peep cross Marie Antoinette cross Alice in Wonderland, I'm sure you've seen a few around.) http://www.labelism.com/BlackAlice/250308_1.jpg Hahaha. Sydney has a few stores carrying the clothes, but most of the addicts (myself included) would go to incredible lengths to import clothes from Japan. *shakes head* Ahh, the infectiousness of Japan... The SO and I are visiting Tokyo during the summer vacation so, again, your blog is providing sound advice as to where one ought to eat! (I've already put my foot down and demanded a visit to the yakitori stall. Pork and miso are a match made in heaven... Combine it with charcoal grill and you have a happy customer.) Have you tried any of the takoyaki stalls yet? The best thing about Japan is that it's so easy to get a really wonderful, cheap meal. Then there's the fact that Tokyo has the highest concentration of 3 Michelin star restaurants! ;) It's really wonderful to see you're enjoying yourself so much! I loved this post!
