NLD: Pancakes Amsterdam

Sweet or savoury Dutch pancakes for you?

Pancakes Amsterdam serves not only traditional Dutch pancakes with a little twist, but also American pancakes for those who prefer something thicker. Founded in 2007, the brand has grown into four branches in the capital city. My BFF and I visited the branch at Amsterdam Centraal.


We didn't order any American pancakes.


Apple and Almond Dutch Pancake €11.00 (~S$17.40)
Taste: 8.5/10

I noticed that the pancake was just slightly thicker than a crêpe. To my delight, the sweet pancake topped with apple slices, almonds and Calvados, a type of apple brandy from the Normandy region in France, was truly appetising. I was glad that the whipped cream came in a separate bowl.


Chicken, Zucchini and Tomato Dutch Pancake €13.50 (~S$21.35)
Taste: 8/10

From the selection of savoury Dutch pancakes, we went for the one topped with smoked chicken, sliced zucchinis and cherry tomatoes. It came with a small saucer of tapenade made of chopped roasted tomatoes, olives and garlic. The sweet and savoury balance was certainly there.


Moccachino €3.40 (~S$5.40)
Taste: 7.5/10

I found the moccachino to be pretty fragrant. It was also thick enough for my liking, but I'd love it to have a smaller amount of sugar. A small packet of stroopwafel (Dutch thin waffle filled with caramel syrup) was given as an accompaniment to the cup of coffee.


Walden Lemon and Lemongrass Iced Tea €4.50 (~S$7.10)

My BFF tried a small bottle of organic iced tea infused with lemon and lemongrass by Walden. I recall it was quite fragrant, but very mildly sweet.

Melon's Rating
Taste: 8/10
Ambience: 7/10
Service: 8/10
Overall: 7.5/10

Upon settling your bill, you'll receive a complimentary keychain. Pika's advice: Do note that the eatery only accepts card payment.

There was a queue when we reached the eatery close to 11.00am that Sunday for brunch, but it was moving pretty fast.

SIN: Yoshinoya

Trying it again in Singapore after years! Yoshinoya is the second largest chain of gyudon (lit. beef bowl) restaurants in Japan. Although its first shop opened in Tokyo, the name of the chain actually pays homage to the former town of Yoshino in Osaka Prefecture where its founder hailed from. After years of giving Yoshinoya in Singapore a miss, I recently found myself revisiting one of its branches at Bugis Junction.

SIN: Flipper's

Pancake x  soufflé originated from Tokyo! Hailing from Japan, Flipper's is a chain café renowned for its fluffy, jiggly soufflé pancakes. While I've never had the chance to try the pancakes in its country of origin, I was excited to finally experience them at the Westgate branch here in Singapore, which has been drawing long lines of eager patrons.

Surprisingly rich chocolate mousse! Here's the last post to wrap up the travel to the Americas. After travelling in the Business Class cabin from Panama City, it was time to head to the back of the plane for the next leg of the journey from Istanbul, Turkey to Singapore. Despite the more modest comfort, the food wasn't too shabby.
