Sweet and Fluffy Soufflé Pancake @ Flipper's Singapore (Takashimaya) and Flipper's Kyoto 京都

0 comments

Flipper's Kyoto

First experience was in Kyoto 2018, and I was searching for pancakes to indulge in. There's plenty of options in Kyoto such as Happy Pancake, Flipper's, Cafe Elk etc.

The yellow banner was attractive from afar, and thus to Flipper's it was!

Flipper's 京都

 

The service staff was friendly and welcoming. As a tourist, I'd go for their Kyoto Limited Special Pancakes on the menu.

let's get Kyoto Limited

Kiseki Pancake Uji Match with Coffee Set @ ¥1400+ (~SGD19)

Curious guests could take a peek into their kitchen. The staff in there was cute too!

It was a nice experience at Flipper's Kyoto but the store has since closed.

Flipper's Singapore (Takashimaya)

Fast forward to 3 years later, and Flipper's had arrived in Singapore. Managed to try it recently with Wendy. I realised that the 3 fluffy, airy pancakes is still too much for one person to have it all. Best shared!

Seasonal Limited Edition (Feb 2021)

Hahaa, the modus operandi seemed to be, just try those seasonal limited edition!

nice to see this colour again

Japanese Awayuki Strawberry Souffle @$24.80


These pancakes in Singapore, was more eggy which I liked, but it also deflated pretty quickly too. Maybe due to the weather here?

The strawberry cream was good and the fruit itself had a tinge of tangy and was mildly sweet.

pretty colour

We visited at about 3pm, and the interior were full, so only outside seats remained. Walk-in is possible during that time. Otherwise, could visit their FB page to get the reservation link.

[Media Invite] Beyond Pancakes @ Marina Square Mall

0 comments
Pannenkoek? Galettes? Now you have can them all at Beyond Pancakes. This halal-certified casual eatery is located at Level 3 of Marina Square Mall, serves a variety of European influenced pancakes, burgers and pastas.

menu
As usual, we went with the Chef's recommendation. For hors d'oeuvre, we had the Nachos Set. Yes, that's French for appetizer. The nachos were actually toasted crispy crepe which was served warm and crispy, then loaded with mozarella cheese, avocado strips, onions, olives, jalapenos and topped with a beautiful sunny side up. For the set, it was served with cheese sauce, spring onion dip and cheesy sundried tomato dip. The spring onion dip was refreshing but my favourite was the cheesy sundried tomato dip.

Nachos Set @$10.90


If you are ordering the Nachos Set, I do urge you to eat it as soon as it arrived. So good to have warm crispy crepe scooping up those yummy dips which quickly made their exit into our stomachs.

Next, we had the Chicken Bolognaise from the pasta section. Served with moderate amount of sauce and it sprinkled with parmesan cheese and fresh herbs. The noodles strands were soft. The flavours were mild.

Chicken Bolognaise @$13.90

Saumon Fume Galette @$14.90
Was pleasantly surprised by the presentation of the smoked salmon galette. Thin thin layer of French crepe made of wheat, had edges so crisps that it fell off as soon as our finger tips gave it the tiniest of a nudge, which was lined with pesto sauce and topped with avocado, smoked salmon and a sunny side up.

We ate it the way Europeans would usually have it, which was to break the yolk, smear it around before rolling up the pancake. I liked it! The flavours were balanced and the rolled salmon, avocado and pesto mix with the thin galette skin was a big hit amongst the group.

For most of us, we are more familiar with the American styled pancakes. Round, soft and fluffy, and usually sweet. At Beyond Pancakes, there are savoury pancakes to choose and we had Le Poulet.

Le Poulet @$12.90
Butter in semi-melting state and spring onion mushrooms on my pancakes? Yes, please! The taste of the pancake was mildly sweet and the combination of grilled chicken strips, capsicum, onions and cherry tomatoes on the side would make this dish slightly more substantial.

Having a meal at Beyond Pancake was like taking a pancake journey to around European continent.  Pannenkoek was our next dish, and this is a Dutch-style pancake. Thin crepe, almost like a more hardy popiah-skin and topped with sliced chicken, black pepper sausages, turkey bacon, onions, capsicum, olives, and mozarella cheese.

De Kip @$13.90

No one resists desserts, right? Neither did we. This is for the sweet-toothed ones. The plate that we had was a special order of singular pancakes for tasting. Usual order would be Short (2 pieces), Medium (4 pieces) and Tall (6 pieces). Price ranges from $5.90 to $10.90 for Short.

(front counter clockwise) strawberry cream cheese, plain, chocolate chip and blueberry
Cheesy Nutella Roll @$14.90

The Cheesy Nutella Roll was basically Pannenkoek rolled with cream cheese, nutella, choco biscuit crumbs, served with vanilla ice-cream and peaches. The sweetness level was just right. Most of us were happy with just the original and the chocolate chip pancakes with butter and maple syrup.

My favourites were the Saumon Fume Pannenkoek, Le Poulet and the chocolate chip pancake.

Good halal option for pancakes.
