1. Wicked Pancake Parlour at Damansara Heights

2. Second Sunday at Damansara Heights

Try Second Sunday’s fluffy-warm pancakes, stacked with beef bacon (very tasty, for a change) & parmesan cheese, showered with strawberry basil sauce that supplies a mellow sort of sweetness. We also like the ‘Pankek’ – pandan pancakes, crowned with juicy caramelised bananas, fragrant with toasted dessicated coconut flakes, paired with Gula Melaka syrup, for a combo with nice Malaysian kuih-muih nuances.

4. The Bee at Publika

The Bee produces very respectable buttermilk pancakes – thick but tender, a triumph of texture, tastily layered with either sauteed bananas glazed in butterscotch or wild berries with cream, bathed in syrup & butter. A back-to-basics illustration of what a weekend brunch is really all about – food that makes us happy.

5. Bedrock at USJ Subang

Bedrock’s pancakes with bananas & chocolate sauce come crowned with the cafe’s own-made ice cream, in vanilla or peanut butter flavour (we prefer the latter, which flaunts a light but distinct sweet-saltiness).
