Radioactive

Café Breton is the only restaurant I know of in Metro Manila that specializes in crêpes and galettes. I've posted a photo of its interior in Sweet and savory in Bretagne and a photo of two of its galettes in Galettes. Now here is a photo of one of its crêpe chefs. I can watch them make those ultra-thin pancakes for hours—their speed and control is absolutely fascinating.

    Thanks for the information about buying things there and the costs compared to here in the states. I am always interested in computers and laptops and I know they cost a lot of money here. I just thought they might be brands in your country, made there, that are less costly then here. I know Japan has some home grown ones that are really light years ahead of us and they are cheaper. Or that used to be the case about 5 years ago.

    Is there a website in English that sells computers made in your country?

    And I hasten to point out, that this photo reminds me of all those places that used to sell steaming noodles on the streets in Japan. It is a nice shot.

    I like Cafe Breton myself. Shame the one in Alabang is no longer open for business.

    Thanks for visiting Norwich Daily Photo and leaving your comments. Enjoy the weekend!

    Oh, I like the flurry of hand motion you showed in this picture, Hilda - it goes well with the description of speed and control you said about her.

    Oh, and btw, and crepes? The mere mention of its name makes me hungry ...
