[CAFE HOPPIING IN SINGAPORE] MY BABHY OH~ DUTCH BABY CAFE

by - Wednesday, June 08, 2016

Oh Baby Baby how was I supposed to know.
Dutch Baby cafe is a pancake house created by Japan Food Holding, with sister brand Fruit Paradise under the same umbrella.
The café is filled with cherry Scottish like displays. Imagine cows roaming on farms and cottages in the grassland. It’s a laid-back countryside homely dining experience that you can look forward to. 
Totally inspired by the actual Dutch Baby Pancake from Germany- a traditional item over breakfast. The pancakes here are definitely not disappointing- soft and dense fluffy on the center and crisp at the edges. Each orders on the iron pans are made straight out from the oven, before adding of the toppings and condiments by another chef at another station outside the kitchen. 

Hit Me Baby 
There are many recipes online showing how the Dutch Baby Pancakes can be recreated at home but if all these is too troublesome, you can get a taste of this mildly sweet and crisp delight right here in Singapore at Dutch Baby Café, smack in the hearts of Orchard Paragon shopping mall. We were there early and were the 2nd group of customers shortly after its opening at 10am. Subsequently however, customers began filtering in.
The café was totally very nicely done up with the decorations. Ordering was done via a mounted touch screen and adds to the’ fun’ intuitive element. The overall cafe menu is simple without much fanfare- mainly pancakes, cutlet sandwiches or curry rice dishes and of course, pie tarts from Fruit Paradise and drinks.



Savory or Sweet?
Though tempting to order more, we held the rein and ordered only the pancakes. With about 20 mins waiting time per pancake, we relaxed and chill on the cushy sofa seats. Big groups have no problems as they have long tables.
I did a little squeal upon seeing the pretty thing when served. The presentation was one of the prettier ones I have since in cafes since a long time.  It was minimal effort, but hits the right notes in enhancing the look of the serving. Panned with a “hankie” at the pan base and a matching checker handle cover – both for aesthetic and functionality uses, looking very dainty. 

Maple Grapefruit $13.80
Savoury. A salad base pancake mixed in with spinach, lettuce, and lemon chicken and savoury-sweet grapefruit bits. I love this- truly! All pancakes were served warm, with slight crisp at the edges. Not overly gluten with flour or pancake mix, these pancakes goes on light for the digestive system.

Banana Chocolate $11.80 
Sweet. Comparatively, much more sweet flavours to choose from- mixed berries, caramel apples and mango. Chocolate sauce drizzled on banana slices with blueberries on the top and whipped cream and a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. The toppings were quite the norm and though was lovely to share, didn't wow me off. 
** Top up with a set for an additional drink (brewed coffee, or soft drinks). Water additional $0.50

OH Yea! 
By the end of the 2 pancakes, we were surprisingly full! So this makes for a satisfying happy. brunch indeed. Good ambiance too~ It's not easy to find a pancake house in Singapore that makes such authentic tasty ones. Strongly recommending this gem of a pancake house if you ever need a serene break in the midst of the fast paced Orchard Road.
