Food Safari - Latin Ameria (and French)

Our latest food safari was at the Cruzao Arepa Bar, where we had a very delicious lunch. We started off with a platter of the entrees (also known as pasapalos). The small fried arepitas (small arepas with a cheese filling) were so tasty. The guacamole sauce was good, but the garlic aoili was packed with garlic so was an absolute favourite for the group.



We ordered an arepa (with a different filling) each which came with a salad. The arepas are pretty small, but the flat corn bread has a very unique texture and when dipped in the aoili, was very satisfying :)



Even better though? The venezuelan style corn flan. Corn flan didn't sound all that appetising, but it was amazing. It was like a creme caramel but denser.



Since we were in the neighboorhood, we naturally had to have some crepes (post-desert desert) from the ONLY Breizoz French Creperie in Melbourne (my regular Williamstown branch is no more, which was devasting news). The crepes were just as good in Fitzroy.
