Paddington House of Pancakes @ City Square Mall

When I first spotted Paddington House of Pancakes in City Square Mall at Farrer Park / Little India, Kelvin was dismissive. "Pancakes can only be eaten as brunch or dessert, not worthy to be a man's dinner" - quoted from Kelvin and his ego.
But we combed through the whole mall only to be back here because nothing else stirred our appetite. Kelvin realised that they do serve dinner worthy dishes here and I'm always right.
The menu showcased all kinds of pancake inspired cuisine - in a fusion of American, Mexican, French and Russian cooking style. (No pork, lard and beef served btw, choices for meat is only chicken or lamb). We were quite overwhelmed by the choices and ended up choosing whatever that has the biggest picture on the menu.
This is all we ordered. The wait for food was about 30 minutes as their kitchen is super small, but it was worth the wait.
We ordered a Pancake Double Decker Burger $16 - made from organic wholemeal pancakes, homemade chicken patty, onion, tomato, lettuce, cheese and salsa sauce. - 8/10
The chicken patty was thick, dense and meaty, not quite as juicy as the waiter promised but not bad overall. Kelvin loved the pancake which was super savory that tied in well with the whole burger taste. We've always assumed that pancakes are tasteless or sweet like the Mcdonald's breakfast kind, but Paddington House of Pancakes proved us wrong.
I got this grilled chicken, grilled mozzarella, chicken bacon, ham, wild mushrooms, prawns, pineapple and topped with mushroom creamy sauce, stuffed in soft crepe called NICE - $14.
The prawns and mushroom were fresh, grilled chicken was juicy and the crepe was sweet in a way that went well with everything else. - 10/10
There was this big picture of their cheese fries and wedges with bacon bits and sauces - $7 on the first few pages of the menu. It looked so cheesy I couldn't resist. But I later regretted this impulse order as there was only one layer of cheese on top, there were no cheese on the fries below and the fries are ordinary processed fries. The dips are the same as KFC cheese fries sauce. Meh - 4/10
In my first bite, I felt like I went to heaven. The chocolate, peanut butter and jam exploded with every bite because the whole crepe roll was stuffed with those sauces. But after eating half a roll each, we both jelat from the sauce overload. There weren't enough ice cream to go around to dilute the overpowering tastes of jam. Despite having to battle through the second half of our crepe, it was still one of my favourite dessert ever - 9/10
In total, we spent $65 nett for our meal (2 mains, 1 side, 1 dessert). The setting and decorations is very pretty, almost felt like we were in a quaint shop house cafe instead of a shopping mall.
I highly recommend eating at Paddington House of Pancakes if you are at City Square Mall. I know I will definitely return to try out their tacos and more desserts.
