Cafe De Vie @ Lintas Plaza

What is mille crepe?

Mille crepe is a cake made of many layers of thin crepes, that are comprised of flour. Anyone has traveled to Malacca before should have tried the famous one from Nadeje. Well, KK peeps don't have to imagine & dream of it anymore, as now there is a mille crepe shop available in Lintas (located around Moo Cow). It has further expanded to Metrotown as well (2nd branch).

Cafe De Vie has a few choices of normal cake, and the remaining are majority the mille crepes selling @ RM11.90 per slice (different flavour has different pricing). But this is not the only food item contained in the menu. It sells some Western food, snacks, soup, and other common desserts too.
Business Hour: 12pm-10pm daily

Cafe De Vie is slightly packed as it is not spacious enough to occupy more customers during peak hours (probably after dinner hour). The whole shop looks rather special with its seen-able bricked wall & wood concept of design.



All the mille crepes are displayed beside the counter, depends on availability. There are special flavours like cempedak, rum & raisins, pandan, etc. The nice ones usually sold out fast, thereof u need to go earlier to get them.
P/S: I heard that the oreo's cookies & cream flavour is delicious, but it is selling fast! =O


The menu is easily understood, and the food are of reasonable price range.
What food are they offering besides than the mille crepes?
1. Pumpkin/mushroom/onion/cool soup selling @ RM6.50 each.
2. Cheese baked cream sauce rice/spiral @ RM15.90.
3. Western meal such as sirloin steak, fish steak, etc..
4. Pastas such as squid ink spaghetti, black truffle pate pasta, etc..
5. Snacks such as BBQ chicken wings, fries, etc..
6. Desserts such as cream brulee with ice cream, mango ice, etc..


Cream sauce cheese baked rice with smoked turkey ham. 
This is delicious in the sense that it is super cheesy but u won't get satiated of it. 
Cheesy lover should love this! ;D
Fish steak with capsicum sauce.
The fish is grilled nicely matching with the capsicum sauce
which tastes like the bell pepper. Many ppl dislike green pepper
but this sauce tastes quite special and not bad instead.   
Seafood pasta in tomato sauce.
Spaghetti cooked in tomato sauce with
olives, prawns, and sotong.


For their mille crepes, Cafe De Vie offers quite big varieties of flavours.
Oops! First try was taking away due to the overcrowded customers
who were waiting for their seats. =X
The green tea mille crepe (upper one) tastes very 'green-tea-ish'.
The french vanila mille crepe (lower one) has simple taste
which enables us to barely focus on enjoying its super thin layers of crepes.
Blueberry Cheese mille crepe was my favourite amongst those I've tried.
The blueberry's slight sour taste is nice to be eaten with the thousand layers.
P/S: The most mouth watering part is the cream at the upper edge.
It is not normal fresh cream, it is
cheese cream.  
Cheesy Cheese mille crepe is just like how it is named.
Cheesy-taste mille crepe actually tastes quite similar with the Nadeje's original one.
Mango mille crepe is simply a good choice for those who love mango.
However, the mango taste was rather strong at the top part only.
Strawberry mille crepe looks nice, but it is not special for me.
It is just a normal crepe with some strawberries.

As having the mille crepes making us too full, fruit tea is a better option to help digesting our food haha.. xP
We ordered a teapot of mix berries @ RM14 (refillable).
Hmm to be frank, it tasted abit like my kid's time cough medicine. =X
Otherwise, there are fruit juice blended freshly, with different healthy functions written. This is a healthy option and i like that the juices are not sweet.
Dragon fruit + Lemon + Yoghurt -
Helps to reduce stress.
Papaya + milk -
Helps in beauty.


At our first glance on the menu, we felt that its mille crepes are selling at slight expensive price. But after giving them a try, we were willing to pay for their hardwork in producing such tiny layers of crepes as this might require specific competences and diligence to a certain extent hehe..

Overall, Cafe De Vie's mille crepes are considered nice as its layers of crepes are quite thin. But if they are to be compared with the famous Nadeje's ones, I think that Nadeje's ones are softer and could melt faster in the mouth. In addition, Cafe De Vie's mille crepes' skin part is abit rough and hard; it would be perfect if its softness does not vary too much with its layered crepes. =D Nonetheless, its food tastes delicious and I would prefer if there are more choices added hehe..


So, now mille crepe could be an additional choice for KK peeps who have bored of having normal cakes for their birthday occasion hehe..
Whee, we celebrated Annabel's sweet birthday here!
