Georgetown Food Trail - Banana Pancake (Part 1)

Immediately after knowing the location of the banana pancake stall from Lingzie's recent post, I quickly make my way there the next day...lol... I called W and he gladly agreed to follow. So both of us went to town as a mini motorcycle team :D It was an early Saturday morning, so riding along Beach Street was fun and pleasant. Well compare to weekdays, its considered good already lol...

The coffeeshop was easy to spot. One can see it immediately after turning into Church Street (off Beach Street). But of course, its a whole different story if you're going there during weekends. No one would be honking madly at you if you're slow while taking the corner and scout for the shop :P

Just in case you're not sure... I took the picture below while standing in front of the shop. Church Street is located directly opposite India House at Beach Street :)

Once we spotted the pancake aunty, we were so happy. Hahaha...Actually, its me who was very happy XD

W and me decided to order RM5 of pancake with an additional egg, so RM5.50 :D Yeah additional egg makes a lot of difference! Yumz~

Pancake Ah Ee would firstly scoop some pancake batter onto the hot plate, spread it, cracked an egg onto batter and spread the mixture again, evenly in a circular motion. So in our case, she cracked an extra egg for additional 50 sen :)

At this point, I could not really smell the pancake...yet...

Immediately after that step, she sliced in some ripe bananas. Then in goes the butter (a lot), flipped the pancake into half and wait for it to cook further.

Finally, smells of yummy pancake with banana and lots of butter starts wafting to my nose...Smells of yummylicious and slightly oily pancake...hahaha...Don't say I didn't warn you...

With a sprinkle of sesame seeds, it was ready to be served :D

W can't wait to munch on the pancakes XD Whatever it was, he cannot touch the pancakes until I finished snapping pictures ;)

Not too sweet, not very oily (for me) and very fragrant butter smell. Due to the extra egg, the pancake smells much nicer. Just look at those slightly caramelised banana and raisins...

Aih I absolutely missed the pancakes a whole lot...I can still remember the taste when I first savour it more than 5 years ago. I was renewing my passport and back then the process takes a super long time to complete. Thus, we went to the coffeeshop (now closed) next to Standard Charted Bank for breakfast. I never had banana pancakes before, so I ordered it. Since then it became my favourite banana pancake :) I have tried pancakes in Sin Kim San and a Pulau Tikus coffee shop but both fell short. In other words, they can just stand aside lol...

I think the environment of the eatery plays a huge role here. Eating classic pancakes on a marble table of an old kopitiam does contribute a few points. Don't you feel so?

Location:
**The aunty has moved to a new location at Jalan Macalister Sin Kim San Kopitiam or Hong Kong Dim Sum (opposite Esso petrol station)

Opening time:
Tuesday - Sunday
9am - 2pm (be early because she might finish before 2pm)

Happy reading~
