Little Pancakes Review

It's a very hazy afternoon here in Singapore. But we braved the sun and haze to eat at Little Pancakes for lunch. Though it's along the main road, within Thomson Imperial Court, the shop is small and might not catch your attention. What caught me by surprise is that the place was 50% full on a Monday, just less than half an hour after opening, and also in the bad haze condition. Their business is doing well :)

What's on the menu?   

Ordered the pancakes with sausages. All sets come with garden salad and potato salad. 

The mini pancakes are bite sized and fun and the overall size of the portion was good. I don't like pancake overkill when some places come with 3 really big pancakes that I can't finish eating. The texture of the pancakes were made just right without being dry or soggy and the combination tastes really good on its own. Spread more butter and maple syrup if you like your food more flavorful.

The only thing that confused me was that the cute maple syrup holder was too small, and I couldn't dip my pancakes. Instead, I had to pour it over my food. Note in the picture that it's even smaller than one pancake.

I'm also a big fan of potato salad, and the one they serve is yummy. Wonder if they will let me take away a side of potato salad in future?

Apple Yakult Love. Can't decide if it's poured straight out of the Yakult bottles into this cute glass mug, or mixed with something else. But for a Yakult lover, I like it and it's also my Yakult fix for the day. Comes in 2 other flavors Orange and Lychee. They also serve iced frappucinos, coffee and teas. 

Overall Little Pancakes Review

I like that they are very focused in their offering. Pancakes.Take it or leave it. There is also this wonderful buttery smell when you enter the door that will make any hungry person drool. Now I know that when I have a craving for pancakes, there is a budget-friendly and delicious place nearby as an alternative to Strictly Pancakes which requires more travel time.

It's a great place to eat before you do any grocery shopping because there's a Sheng Siong Supermarket just downstairs. There is also a dry cleaner, enrichment classes and spa located next door. Very convenient to pop by for a snack.

5 Upper Thomson Road Food Places People Recommend...

1. Little Part 1 Cafe : Unusual

Want to hang out and eat somewhere UNUSUAL? Little Part 1 Cafe is a cosy, special Upper Thomson Road Food Place people recommend because it's located in a relatively unknown shophouse area off the main Upper Thomson Road. Since its location is rather unusual and 'off-the-beaten-track', I bet even people living in District 20 don't know this place! If you don't drive, you may find it fun and adventurous walking along the (sometimes very busy) Upper Thomson main road before turning into Jasmine Road to get to Little Part 1 Cafe.

2. Old School Delights : Retro

Feeling SENTIMENTAL? Old School Delights is a Upper Thomson Food Place People Recommend because of its retro design and retro good food. Find yourself back in time at Old School Delights where you'll find many reminders of 'Old Singapore'. A real bonus is playing traditional games like 'Five Stones', 'Kuti Kuti' and 'Snakes and Ladders' FOR FREE with your deliciously fulfilling meal or snacks (yummy butter cakes or traditional desserts like Chendol) at Old School Delights.

4. Little Pancakes : All Day Breakfast

Hate waking up early to eat breakfast? Who needs to when there's Little Pancakes? This Upper Thomson Road Food Place People Recommend is another 'hidden gem' along the main Upper Thomson Road. The pancakes are mini-sized and suitable for dessert. It works as a dessert place because Little Pancakes only closes at 11pm (except on Sunday). Lots of unusual pancake varieties.

5. Habitat Coffee : Chic

Over time, Habitat Coffee has evolved into a place for 'artistic people' to hang out along Upper Thomson Road. (Perhaps its the growing number of music and dance schools being set up along Upper Thomson Road?) This Upper Thomson Road Food Place People Recommend has a clean, chic feel. Don't be misled into thinking the space is very small. There's additional seating 'hidden' within the shophouse. The food and drinks are decent and reasonably priced. And I hear they serve gourmet coffee.
