General Notes
Luluyum is an upscale cake shop specializing in mille crepe cakes, which come in many different flavors: black sesame, passionfruit, salted egg yolk + pork sung, strawberry ice cream, original, milk tea, tiramisu, durian, sea salt oreo, dark chocolate, and matcha. The first time I visitied, I made the unfortunate mistake of ordering for the wrong day ... which led to my cake being very frozen, making the eating experience much less enjoyable. The second time I visited, I actually ordered for the right day, and had a much more enjoyable experience. Overall, the crepe cakes are really well done. Generally a bit less sweet than most crepe cakes, so if that's what you're looking for Luluyum is a good choice.
Positives
> Their crepe cakes have really good (surprisingly good, even) structural integrity. This is in spite of the fact that the layers are really, really thin (much thinner than your typical crepe cake)
Dishes Tasted
- ★★☆☆ Black Sesame Crepe Cake -- not my favorite; the black sesame was pretty strong but I felt that it needed a touch more sugar.
- ★★★☆ Strawberry Crepe Cake
- ★★★☆ Passionfruit Crepe Cake -- this was my brother's favorite; the tartness definitely added a nice touch
- ★★★★ Durian Crepe Cake -- really, really good. There's quite a bit of cream, and the cake feels perfectly balanced with the durian.
- ★★☆☆ Sea Salt Oreo Crepe Cake -- The flavor combination feels slightly off; there's a bit too much salt and not quite enough sugar. But generally, a pretty solid flavor combination.
Durian
