Well, went there (upper east coast branch) with some friends yesterday and I enjoyed my time there! Of course, the pancakes were pricey ($57++) for 5 people. But if you’re talking about value, then I think ordering 11 pancakes (sweet or savoury) would have well-satiated us. It was a challenge to finish three whole pancakes on my own. I like the taste of the Potato pancake (savoury) and I have a sweet tooth so the chocolate syrup from the blackforest and druggie (sweet) were really nice! I felt that the chocolate from the tiramisu was average, and I couldn’t taste any tiramisu or rum (there was an icon). I personally got the lemon curd (sweet) and it was really tasty at first (vanilla ice cream with chocolate pancakes dipped in lemon custard). Until I came to the end, I had this portion of lemon zest which was rather intolerable I had to stir it into the lemon custard many times… The lemon zest was too thick so eating it until the third piece was quite an accomplishment for myself! I felt that the pancakes were generous (thick layers of chocolate) but at the second piece, the lemon zest and chocolate pancakes had caused a mild discomfort to my throat (thankfully I didn’t get the chocolate ones). Although I didn’t get to try the fluffy ones, they look great (and not as filling ). But honestly, the blackforest,druggie and tiramisu all tasted like chocolate and pancakes (just with different toppings). Glad I chose a variant. I would love to try the apple and cinnamon (sweet) or the plain ones, with strawberries and scrambled eggs! I would recommend trying them, since it was a great experience for me. But I’m not one that would indulge in food so this came especially nice for me! Generally, I think it’s worth the money (the five of us were so full we didn’t even need dinner!)

I have had pancakes at different places across the world… but you are right, the idea of savory pancakes is indeed delightful!

I too, disagree Strictly Pancakes being the BEST ones in Singapore. I had it today and it tasted ordinary, not any better than Macdonalds pancakes, though much more thicker.Their Weekend breakfast set comes with 3 pieces of pancake in a stack and at the second piece, it felt like a chore to finish up the rest… The ambience wasn’t that great either, I believe they were trying to maximise revenue per space. The tables were all very close to each other and I had to squeeze through a small gap to get to my seat by the wall. As the small enclosed place on the second floor gets flooded with more ppl, it gets even nosier – everyone starts chatting on top of their voices to be heard. ughh… Brunch costed us $30+ for 2 pax. Imo,i feel that Macdonalds’ more satisfying.

I disagree, strictly pancakes def DO NOT serve the best pancakes in singapore. I’ve tried it just last week and their pancakes tasted like it was made out of purely BAKING POWDER. the taste and smell of baking powder was so overwhelming i didnt even manage to finish 2 out of the 3 pancakes. not to mention it’s quite pricey. def not going back there again…

My fren n i was there on Sat. And totally regretted goin over. The pancakes was tough and little sour on da taste. they gv same amt of butter and syrup for short and medium stack. And charge xtra for butter!
Really mcdonalds pancake is lot better and it will really help the situation if they at least smile.

Definitely disagree. Their pancake to sauce ratio leaves much to be desired. And restaurant operations is poorly designed.

And it’s certainly not the first of its kind in Singapore. We had Better Batter for many many years, although sadly it has closed down.

i heard the service there is super bad, thats why i never got round to trying. like they insist on serving the savory and sweet pancakes together cos its a “company policy”. the bosses also apparently have no qualms scolding customers.

I agree with some of your readers. Strictly pancakes is nowhere near the best pancakes in singapore. They taste exactly like hotcakes from Macdonalds, if not worst. And also pricey for the average-standard they offer! Have never went back there ever since a year ago when I first tried it.

the pancakes wasn’t as nice as I thought it would be! The pancakes served was cold and their smoked salmon taste weird too.

really disappointed that you put strictly pancakes as “the best in singapore” =\ especially coz i’ve been trusting your recommendations thus far!

i went there and i felt it was nothing to rave about, in fact it was pretty normal/plain except maybe for their nutella one which was slightly above average, but that’s all…

pancakes at barracks and prive are really good though!

why are your reviews always so flattering? it’s like you never have a bad word to say about any place that you go to.

strictly pancakes is just plain ol pancakes — even the betty crocker buttermilk mix or the bisquick one would probably taste just as good, and for a much cheaper price.

they do have some interesting items, but i think it probably isnt worth it, and it certainly isnt the best pancakes in singapore.

Are they stingy with their maple syrup?

My gripe with Wild Honey is that they are super stingy with that – the person gave me an irritated look when I asked for an extra serving of their already-very-small serving of maple syrup.

Pancakes taste best when flooded with maple syrup!

Just tried the caramelized banana pancake at Canele last Sunday. It’s the BEST pancake I’ve had in a while! Definitely worth a visit!
