Tasty Station in Rowland Heights, California

Menu Item: Crispy Walnut Shrimp

Menu Item: Build your own crepe

Description: Crepe with green tea ice cream, sliced strawberries & bananas, and nutella wrapped in a soft crepe shell. These crepes are not only displayed artistically, but you could also taste the quality of the crepes. The soft doughy wrapping was cooked perfectly and really tied the entire crepe together.
