Mr. Oban Yaki (Takashimaya)

Was feeling abit of hungry while walking along orchard road, thus decided to drop by takashimaya food square to see if theres any nice stuff to eat. There were quite a few varieties of food available in food square. From kaya toast to tori balls to pancakes, yam cakes and even breads with different fillings.

Out of all these yummy foods, one of the most attractive item will have to be the japanese pancakes - Oban Yaki. I always have the liked japanese stuffs, thus this stall is a must visit for me. Never did i expect, there are also quite abit of people who loved the japanese pancakes.

Based on the queue, it certainly took me some time to get my hands onto the japanese pancakes. But, all the time and waiting is really worth for the exchange of hot pancakes just out of the pan.

There are basically two different patterns of pancakes available in the stall. The first is shaped like a fish and the other is the normal round pancakes. Fillings wise, there are quite a few varieties too, but the most popular ones will have to be the red bean and the creamy cheese version.

I tried the creamy cheese pancakes and i can only say its simply marvellous. With sufficient amount of cheese fillings stuffed in the middle of two parts of pancakes, one can experience cheese in every mouth of the pancakes.

Not only that, the hot pipping pancakes is not too big nor too small to fill one's stomach. Its crispy outer layer and soft inner layer, together with the creamy cheese filling, will not makes one feel to dry nor tired for another piece.

Overall, i can say that these pancake is definitely one of the best that i have tried so far. Service wise, the staffs were pretty friendly and are willing to reply your questions and serve one with a smile. Thumbs up.
