Far East Plaza in Orchard isn’t known for having trendy cafés, so imagine our surprise when we found this quirky Korean-inspired café tucked away there, with super affordable eats from just $6!
Pancakes and Friends is a cosy little café at Level 1 of Far East Plaza, with a quirky retro-inspired decor and also little tables for you to dine-in. Like the name suggests, they specialise in pancakes, specifically Japanese-style soufflé pancakes (from $10) that are super light and fluffy, finished with assorted sweet or savoury toppings.
Hokkaido Milk Soufflé Pancake, $12
Honey Butter Popcorn Soufflé Pancake, $12
Tiramisu Soufflé Pancake, $12
Some pancake options to try include Tiramisu ($12), Chocolate Banana ($12), Honey Butter Popcorn ($12) and Fish Fish Egg Egg ($17), just to name a few. But aside from pancakes, they also have other really pocket-friendly eats such as stuffed bagel sandwiches (from $6) and unique Swiss rösti waffles (from $9)!
Salmon Egg Cheese Bagel Sandwich, $9
Mega Bagel Sandwich, $8
For under $10, you can get both sweet and savoury bagels that are generously filled with ingredients, such as Smoked Salmon Cheese ($8), Mediterranean Hummus ($7), Strawberry Chocolate ($6) or Cream Cheese Scallions ($6), among others.
Mega Rösti, $15
Unlike traditional Swiss rösti that’s made on a pan, their röstis are made in a waffle maker, so you get that unique waffled texture that’s extra crispy. There are 3 rösti options you can choose from: Plain Rösti ($9), Fish and Egg Rösti ($17) or Mega Rösti ($15).
Black V-Coffee, from $3.50
Egg V-Coffee, from $5
You can even get authentic Vietnamese drip coffee here (from $3.50) with the likes of Egg V-Coffee (from $5) that’s made with 2 whole egg yolks, or the classic Condensed Milk V-Coffee (from $4) or Black V-Coffee (from $3.50)!
