Pancakes are traditionally made with a batter of eggs, milk and butter, later topped with an assortment of sweet fruits as well as syrup. The good ol’ recipe has been passed down over many generations and somewhere along the way, inspired chefs decide to either tweak the flavours or presentation of the well-loved breakfast staple. Hence, from alcohol-glazed to Barbie-inspired, here are 5 unique must-try pancakes in Klang Valley!
1. DIY Pancakes
Slappy Cakes originated from Portland, Oregon and thrived due to its unique concept which allows customers to be their very own chef and creator. It doesn’t matter if you lack the creativity and skills to create true works of art, as it is meant to be a time of fun. From Mario to Spongebob, the pancake creation ideas are limitless, and although the Publika outlet has ceased operations in late July, Slappy Cakes is coming real soon to Sunway Pyramid!

2. Alcohol-Glazed Pancakes
It’s not often that one comes across an alcoholic pancake in Malaysia. Albeit having just a small content of alcohol in its Guinness glaze topping, these pancakes from Metal Box sure gives one a rush of excitement, if not due to the Guinness, then perhaps from the Gula Melaka syrup topping. Both the bitterness and sweetness in this pancake makes it a truly unique experience.

Add a Barbie doll to a stack of pancakes and what do we get? An instant hit among pancake lovers and those who might even detest the fluffy dish, alike. At The Daily Grind, their unique specialty is The Dolly Pancake Stack which is a chocolate chip pancake topped with grilled bananas, peanut butter, almond praline and chocolate sauce.

4. Burger Pancakes
Imagine having fluffy burger buns to hold together the juicy contents of chicken burger patties, tomato slices and lettuce leaves? These burger pancakes from Paddington House Of Pancakes took imagination and turned that into a reality. Despite there being sweet versions at this pancake parlour, the Chicken Burger Pancake remains one of its most sought after pancake, and we can certainly tell why!

5. Big Breakfast Pancakes
Like toast, but only better. Why not sample your pancake Big-Breakfast-style with map’s Café’s Porky Pancake? Served with bacon and a Sunny Side Up egg, the soft fluffy pancakes make for an interesting texture, as opposed to ordinary ol’ toast. Complementing the dish is a generous serving of syrup.
