I think the winner,  hands down, over crepes is Will.  
Bringing out the Dragon Fruit was especially clever of him and his
hotel turn-down service. 

Dragon Fruit, or Hylocereus blooms only at night; the large white fragrant flowers of the typical cactusflower shape are among those called "moonflower" or "Queen of the Night". Sweet pitayas have a creamy pulp and a delicate aroma. 

And check out what it looks like when it is cut open:
