First trip to Strictly Pancakes

 As you can see the title says "First trip". Cause Im definitely returning again. But probably not so soon since its a wee bit pricey.

I really couldnt decide what to get and was even stuck between sweet or savory so I ended up sharing a garlic buttered prawn and lemon curd for nerds with yings.

Sorry, didnt bring my camera so the picture quality isnt as great as the previous posts.

The garlic buttered prawn consists of, well, garlic butter, herbs and prawns over a medium stack of pancakes (3 pancakes) A light salad was included as a side and although at first I was a bit doubtful since there was no dressing on it, it actually sort of eases                                            the thick, buttery-ness of the garlic butter sauce. A choice of butter (herb, salted, rum and raisin, garlic) and syrup was also provided. (though the butter was a little redundant for this particular dish)
Overall really yummy and indulgent dish. The creamyness and saltiness and the aroma of the garlic butter sauce kinda leaves you fuzzy inside. heh


The lemon curd for nerds was quite the opposite.
It is a medium stack of chocolate pancakes covered with lemon curd and cream sauce, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a tiny dusting of powdered sugar.
It was lighter and very refreshing. Wish the ice cream would melt a little more slowly though!









Overall the pancakes were really good but a little filling and the best thing to do would be probably to share among your friends with one less portion. (ie 3 dishes for a group of 4 etc).
Service was nice but I think they could have smiled more :3
The restaurant was a little cramped but I suppose it was meant to be a cosy concept.

But all in all, I want to go back to try more pancakes!
