Out of the Pan

Back for more crepes and waffles with my parents!



Pretty crowded during the weekends but its quite a nice environment to dine along the main fountain- except all that unnecessary attention. The place was quite cramped, with tables placed close to one another so its best to tone down while speaking.


Fish Masala ($15.20)

Braised garoupa fillet with garam masala spices. With the same choice of whole wheat crepe, this became an exact repeat order for dad. Huge chunks of fish given but i felt it was slightly drier than the previous time.



Thai Basil Prawn ($15.20)

Prawns marinated with fresh basil, onion and thai chill sauce. Once again, Mum and I shared a crepe and a waffle since we prefer a variety. Another seafood choice for us with whole wheat crepe as well. Quite a number of prawns given but it wasn't fantastic with weird-tasting sauce. The nice, evenly-thin and crispy crepes didn't disappoint.


After the crepe, our waffle took a really long 15 minutes to be served.


Asian Delight ($10.50)

Pandan waffles with lime scented jackfruit compote & yam icecream. Had the yam icecream substituted with vanilla since yam is not my thing.

The wait was well worth it; this is another stunner waffle dish.



Their waffles are baked long enough to give an extreme distinct outer crisp, with a dense inner. Although the colour was deep in green, not much pandan flavour was infused. Came with thick custard cream in between and chilled jackfruits for some extra taste but the highlight remained as the amazingly smooth icecream.

The most skilfull part had to be the balance of sweetness- not one aspect came oversweet. Everything was kept under control in terms of sugar and the whole dish gave pure moderate sweetness. Well done!


Very inconsistent waiters here, some were good while some gave pretty bad impressions. Putting aside the service, their must-try waffles had impressed me twice and i will definitely be back to try more! Good food is always a certain returning-factor for me.
