Me + Crepe is known for their traditional Chinese Breakfast called Jian Bing. They currently have 5 locations Greater Vancouver, so no matter which city you’re in, Me+ Crepe is somewhere close by.
We were invited to the Burnaby location inside the Old Orchard Shopping Centre for lunch.
Interior
The interior has 6 tables and its a good spot for a quick breakfast or lunch if you’re in the area. A lot of people were here for the lunch rush.
Most of the tables have chairs for 2 people. There was only one table for a group of 4.
Menu
You can check in on Yelp for an extra free egg or you can Instagram or Facebook a photo as well.
Soymilk
One of their popular drinks here is their soymilk, which you can order ala carte or as part of the combos. It comes hot or cold, but whichever one you decide, it both tastes delicious and goes well with the Jian Bing. I personally like it cold but my parents liked it hot.
Tea Infused Egg
This also comes with the combo, or you can get it free by checking into Yelp or taking a photo on Instagram or Facebook.
I really enjoyed the eggs and there was a good amount of tea flavour in the eggs. One of the better ones I’ve had so far.
Crepes (Jian Bing)
We ordered a few of the different crepes on the menu.
With more than 23 ingredients that can be customized into each crepe, you can create any crepe and flavour you want (or pick from the menu of specialized crepes. I’m indecisive, so we got 4 of the pre-made ones.
- Bing: Origin
- Double Down
- Lamb Cumin
- Peking Duck
We got a mix with the Chinese donut and Fried Fritter. I felt that the fried fritter helped keep the shape of the crepe better as well it was more crispy.
All of them were pretty filling as combos. For the Bing:Origin, I wish I added a few more item inside to make it a bit more filling compared to the other three. Nonetheless, overall delicious.
Tofu ‘Now’
These items are so unique that I’ve never had anything like this in Vancouver. They are served hot and have a lot of flavour from the sauces.
We tried three different options on the menu.
- Traditional Tofu ‘Now’
- Spicy Tofu ‘Now’
- Hot & Sour Tofu ‘Now’
- Century Egg Tofu ‘Now’
These are essentially savoury version of tofu pudding. Of the four we tried, I liked the traditional Tofu ‘Now’ with the preserved and fermented veggies. It’s a unique taste and really reminded me of mapo tofu. If you like mapo tofu, you’ll enjoy the Tofu ‘Now’.
Final Thoughts
Overall, we were impressed with Me+Crepe. So many options and very customizable to your taste. It’s a quick and casual spot for breakfast or lunch. Highly recommend getting your crepe as a combo.
