A crepe is a very thin pancake cooked on a hot, flat pan. The version on SeekSnack is the Thai crispy crepe, khanom buang, a traditional street snack made by spreading a rice-flour batter thinly on a hot griddle until crisp, then topping it with a fluffy, meringue-like cream. Sweet versions add foi thong, golden threads of egg yolk cooked in syrup, while savoury ones use shredded coconut with salty dried shrimp.
The review Thai Crepe, Khanom Buang looks at the snack as sold by street vendors in Thailand, so unlike most SeekSnack entries it is not a packaged product with a brand.
Khanom buang usually contains egg, in both the cream and the egg threads, and the savoury topping includes shrimp, a crustacean.
