Japanese Pancakes

By jeni | August 1, 2008

Hello darlings. Haha. I’ve been reading some chick lit (interspersed of course with very important works of literature) and in one of the books I just read the protagonist’s boyfriend suggests they start calling each other darling. Well I thought that was hilarious so now John and I have started calling each other darling whenever we can remember. Which is usually only in text messages but it’s still funny. Or we think it’s funny at least. 

Anyway, it’s come to my attention that having one post solely dedicated to a food of the week might have been a little ambitious, but a girl can dream anyway. So this post is going to be about our food of the week, but also about some other things too. 

This week: japanese pancakes, found at the most awesome department store here in Singapore, Takashimaya. I guess it’s a Japanese department store, but there’s a huge one here and I just love it. The department stores are interesting here because they’ve got all of your typical department store items, think Dillard’s, Macy’s, Marks & Spencer, what have you, but many of them also have big food courts and groceries in them as well. Takashimaya is one such store. 

So at the bottom level they have this food court with tons and tons of food stalls. Lots of your basic Singapore offerings like chicken rice and other things that I can’t remember right now, and also lots of fancy Japanese ice creams and chocolates and these awesome Japanese pancakes at this place called Mr. Obanyaki. Basically, it’s a pancake shaped like a fish, and then you can have whatever treats inside that you choose. Of course John chose chocolate chips, because chocolate chips are awesome. So it’s a big fish-shaped pancake filled with chocolate. Pretty much nothing better than that right? Right. 

 

 

I have a picture, but alas, we are having major internet problems right now, so I can’t upload it. I don’t even know if I’ll be able to post this post. By the way, if I owe you an email and haven’t gotten back to you, this is probably why.

On to other things – we are going to Bintan for the weekend, so no posts for a little while. Bintan is an island in Indonesia right on the South China Sea, and it’s just a 45 or 55 or 65 minute ferry ride away from Singapore, depending on who you believe. Hopefully it’s the first of many travels while we’re out here. We’ll report back next week with a review! 

Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend. 

ETA: Obv I got the pic in there now. Lates!
