"In Japan, you would see women walking down the streets of Harajuku with shopping bags in one hand and a crepe in another, Marion Crepes started that trend."

So goes the emcee's introduction for Marion Crepes, the pioneer brand for Harajuku crepe that started the crepe revolution in 1976, which recently held the grand opening of its store in Malaysia.

"Back when I was in Japan, this was one of my favourite crepes," said Malaysian actress Koe Yeet, who was present at the grand opening of the store at Plaza Mont Kiara. Lucky for the actress, as she had the chance to taste her favourite crepe again and even had a hand in making one too!

Not only is the new location its first outlet in the tropical country, it is also the first Asian outlet for the brand outside of Japan.

Currently, Marion Crepes is available nationwide in its home country with 82 stores and has only two other outlets outside of Japan, both located in Hawaii.

Mr. Tsutomu Yumoto revealed that he chose to open a Marion Crepes store in Malaysia because of his love for the country, saying that he was touched by the warmth of the people and would like to repay everyone's kindness with this sweet treat.

Marion Crepes started its operation in Malaysia since 8 February 2018 and held its grand opening on 1 March 2018.
