A Happy Pancake. One of Tokyo's top 10 most popular souffle pancake destinations arrived in Hong Kong with a lot of fanfare. For some reason, girls just love souffle pancakes and they will queue up for hours! And A Happy Pancake always had a long long line! I know a friend who lined up for an hour before his girlfriend arrived and together they waited a half hour more before they could dine in. I didn't have the patience to line up so I pretty much forgot about it. Until one day, I walked by on
Well, pasta at this other place had to wait. A Happy Pancake I go! The seating is not cramped and the kitchen is in the back where you can see them cooking.
Menu is in Chinese and an English menu is available upon request which I will show here. There is no 10% service charge. You pay at the cashier on your way out. Just like in Japan! Water is available at one counter where you pour yourself. You can choose regular water or fruit water (which is just some lemon slices in water).
They have sweet pancakes.
And savory ones as well if you don't want it sweet. Add a bit of money for a drink.
They also have a seasonal special as well.
A little note is placed at each table telling you not only the wifi password but to not complain that you are waiting forever for you food. It takes at least 20 minutes. This is really correct! My food arrived 20 minutes after I ordered.
As I was waiting, I added $18 for an orange juice. This was ok. Freshly squeezed and lots of pulp.
But this was what I was waiting for. I chose the Happy Pancake ($108) as the other combinations didn't entice me. I added $15 for a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It was a plain souffle pancake with a scoop of Manuka honey whipped butter on top and sprinkled with powdered sugar. There was a small pitcher of caramel sauce. The caramel sauce I felt was a bit on the bitter side. But the pancake! Soft fluffy. And not tasting like egg whites and sugar like so many places in Hong Kong that does this. It still had the texture of pancakes but still soft and fluffy from the egg whites. It was exactly as how I had them in Japan. The honey whipped butter was wonderful. Not too sweet but just perfect.
The pancakes were heavenly. Service was very good. Great if you don't have to line up. If I had to line up ... I'm unsure if I'd be back. Apparently, I learned that during lunch hour, there is rarely a line.
