| - My experience with Cruffs more or less started with a group of gals right after my Dragon Boat team's boot camp training session. We were all tired, hot, sweaty and eating one of these cream puffs.... and all of the women were glaring at me in terms of pure love AND hate for bringing a box of these and wiping out the previous hour's workout. There were many things said, like "this is the best thing I've ever had", "OMG", "I'm going to kick you in the b**** for ruining my diet but thanks for the awesome cream puff". "pure sweet heaven" "we're going to pound you dead for this but yum!" and "I've never had anything this creamy in my mouth" (yes, I know this last one could be a risque quote, but it's true!). And then I had one....
Cruffs is a specialty dutch cream puff and pannekoek (a dutch version of the crepe) maker in Mission (and Calgary Farmers Market). But of course, there is a twist! Imagine a pretty huge cream puff, and fill it with some truly tasty variations, such as strawberry cream, chocolate, chantilly, banana, baileys irish cream and quite a few more. The pastry part of the puff is light, crisp and airy as it should be, while the cream is rich and sinful, yet also still fairly light. Guys, so long as your wife or girlfriend is not lactose intolerant, think of it as kryptonite. It'll definately weaken her to your demands to let you hang out with the guys instead next Valentine's day! (well... maybe Arbour Day really...) Still, it'll definately charm the gals, and the guys will just like it period (though NOT with beer).
Just go on in, ask for a number of big or small puffs, pick out your cream flavours (they literally inject them with cream in front of you) and enjoy! Wait, maybe enjoy in front of a window of a fitness club to make it ever more sinful. Slow small bites into each puff to properly display the sensuous cream inside. Stretch it out... make the fitness people suffer. (Yes, I know this is cruel, but I never said that I wasn't an evil reviewer :P)
In a funny trivia way, the family that owns and operates it are following their tradition, despite being Indonesian. This family previously owned the popular resto on 14th St SW, The Indonesian, before selling it and going off on their own business adventures. The chef and main owner does Indonesian food catering on the side, while other members of her family opened Cruffs. Indoneisa, being a former Dutch, colony, picked up a lot of their culture and foods, and vice versa. To get a really good idea and if you've had Indonesian before, head over to Indonesian Kitchen on 17 Ave SE for a meal, and you'll see how many Indonesian dishes are what you may have thought was dutch!
