Food on wheels; Children crepes or pancakes

Food on wheels; Children crepes or pancakes

The Thai government schools on Samui are closed or about to close down, our daughter still has two days of exams ahead of her and our son started his 4 week reign over the house already.

Since it's time for another entry in the Food on Wheels series, I thought that a school related entry was in place.

This is a very popular lady at my sons school in Chaweng, the same school our daughter visited as well for 4 years. She sells crepes or pancakes with all kinds of wild options, as can be seen in front of her cart. All the boxes contain sweets in various sorts and forms, ranging from chocolate flakes to various kind of jam and also contain some very typical Thai treats like pork skin.
Plenty of liquid add ons are available as well, like fluid chocolate . Get the picture? The kids are in pancake heaven with this lady!
She's got a routine of spreading the dough on the hot plates which shows years of experience.

She's also very busy and at the end of the school day, when she shows up, waiting times can be serious, especially enjoyable if you have to wait in the blazing sun! She only has two hot plates, fired on by a bottle of gas, well hidden in the inside of the bike.

Hope you enjoy this entry, if you have children here in Thailand, you may be familiar with this lady's sisters who stand outside schools around the country!

Crepes rule! Suzette is the top!
These ones are sweet though and definitely rule in children land!

Thanks for dropping by Khun Boonie!

Hi Camille, my son is only three but already he waits outside the gate with his 5 baht for the icecre am lady. I would imagine that he will be joining the queue for a crepe soon.
