Allow yourself to be charmed by Japan’s iconic Pancake chain, FLIPPER’S. Also seen internationally with outlets in Seoul, Taiwan, Hong Kong and even New York! FLIPPER’S is famed for its ‘miracle’ pillowy soft and melt-in-the-mouth deliciousness. Keeping FLIPPER’S signature experience as authentic as possible, don’t be surprised if you’re served with two forks. Each souffle pancake is so delicate that is recommended to use two forks to tear (instead of using a knife to slice). The cafe is dressed in Flipper’s signature yellow and pale grey with FLIPPER’S fork motif and quirky neon signs with cheeky taglines.
Hard to go wrong with FLIPPER’S classic, Kiseki Pancake Plain (S$16.80). You can taste the goodness of the whipped cream on top of the airy souffle pancakes. The whipped cream is made with Canadian pure maple syrup and French butter, leaving a lightly sweet fragrance that lingers in the mouth.
strawberries, and homemade strawberry compote, and finally topped with rose petals.
I would prefer the Melona Manpuku (S$5.50), a light sencha that leaves a lightly sweet aroma of Japanese melon after taste. Pssst, there is no sugar added!
The toppings are quality matcha powder from Kyoto, red bean paste, fresh whipped cream, drizzled with matcha honey, and dusted with Hokkaido kinako or roasted soybean powder. It all results in a delicious and bittersweet piece of Kiseki Pancake Matcha (S$19.80). Pssst, the red bean paste is not as sweet as the ones in Japan.
I’m planning to bring my nephew and niece to Flipper’s in January 2021. Sharing a tip, you may make your reservation at www.q4what.com/flippers. However, the earliest reservation is in January 2021. Fastest fingers win!
