NOOK HOUSE OF PANCAKES

Among my group of friends, I'm always the one recommending food places when we do meetups. So this time, finally get to meet up with my ex-colleagues from FOX. Did not put too much expectation on the food because to me, DIY usually means having fun & fun food usually do not taste that good. Oh boy I was wrong~

NOOK HOUSE OF PANCAKES
Bukit Timah, 21 Lorong Kilat, #01-03, Singapore 598123
Operating Hours: Mon to Fri - 12pm to 10pm, Sat & Sun - 10am to 10pm

2-Flavoured DIY Pancake, with choice of 3 toppings $28
We chose Dark Chocolate & Asian Pandan flavour for the pancake with Cream Cheese, Blueberry & Banana for the toppings.
(Was really surprised when I tried this because not only is it fun, it taste nice too. The pancake already taste good on its own without any toppings, and you can really taste the chocolate & pandan taste)
Trying to get all arty-farty~
How does it taste like eating your own name??

Scrambled eggs, Bacon, Gourmet Sausage, sauteed Mushroom, baked beans, vine riped Tomatoes, Breakfast Potatoes & Brioche
The N.Y.C $16
Bagel with smoked Salmon & Cream Cheese
Red Velvet Pancake $14
Madness Strawberry Milkshake $4.50
(Being not a fan of strawberry, this taste really smooth & milky. Nice~)
Apple Juice
Earl Grey Lavender $3
Surprisingly good food for a DIY concept cafe. Other than the location which was quite inconvenient (whole journey took an hour plus from Tampines. Took a train, bus, & walked for quite a distance), everything else was ok. What more can I ask for? Good food while having fun at the same time. Will definitely come back again to try other food on the menu. =P

People always say i eat a lot but today, i bake my first 'pastry'!!! Rainbow SwissRoll, because Rainbow Cake is too mainstream already. Hahaha!! Always wanted to learn baking, & finally i did it today!!! *pat on my shoulder* Special thanks to my secondary school badminton junior who's working as a chef now.

 Trying to be a little arty farty.
Yeah yeah!!! Spread the cream cheese & ready to roll~

 Using the remaining coloured batter for cupcakes.
Out of the oven, warm & moist~
 Topped with cream cheese, first time pipping.

Wouldn't say that my swissroll & cupcakes are the prettiest or the nicest, but then again it's not bad for a first timer right? And the rainbow colours make me so happy just by looking at it. Anyway, gave away some of rainbow cupcakes to my friends. Hope you guys enjoy it!! And may the rainbow colours wash away all your blues at work. =)
