After opened for some months at Supermal Karawaci, few days ago I decided to give “Pancake Parlor” a try. This restaurant is an Australian franchise and quite popular since it’s able to withstand test of time since 1965. The location is just beside of coco walk entrance. Cozy location with some sofas at further end inside. It has outdoor tables too with nice twinkling white LEDs on the trees.

We were greeted by an mid aged Australian male which I assume is the owner and it is pretty rarely the owner would serve the customers directly. It’s a big plus for hospitality. After seated outside, while we browsing the menu, my two kids were greeted with complimentary a scoop of ice cream each by the owner. Amazed us even more.

I have to admit, they have many pancake variations. From desert like pancakes to meal pancakes with meats. They are serving salads an pastas too.

After took a while browsing the long menu with tempting photos, we decided to order a Chocolate Delight (26 K), Fettucini with mushrooms (32 K) and two iced tea (8 K each).

It was not too crowded, only half seats were seated. It took about 15 minutes before our order served. Their cook only 1 with the owner’s wife dressing the pancakes. Not fast but not too long too.

The ordered pancake was not as expected. It’s smaller than in the picture :)). The fettucini was served in large plate. The iced tea like any regular iced tea and come with a small jug of liquid cane sugar.

About taste, the fettucini with fungi in cream is not the best I ever had. The cream is too runny and not creamy enough. The pancakes were the one I most regretted. I thought it’s supposed to be THE place to get the best tasting pancake in town. The pancakes is just like any homemade pancakes with syrups and ice cream, very disappointing.

My wife and kids didn’t want to touch the pancakes at all. I have to finish it by myself.

The verdict is 2 out of 5 stars. Expensive price for below average taste food.
