Cedele dépôt - pancakes rule here!



After a harrowing afternoon at the dentist with my wisdom tooth, my diet choices have whittled down to either liquid or soft foods. Feeling peckish and sudden craving for pancakes (brought on by a most unsatisfying visit to another cafe earlier in the week), I decided to have pancakes for dinner since I can't really chew on solid foods quite yet. CEDELE has both sweet and savoury pancakes but I was skewed towards the antioxidant packed "wild blueberries" version. S$12.90 will get you a savoury side( either bacon rashers of sausages) alongside a stack of 3 fluffy pancakes, served with maple syrup, vanilla butter and a small side of greens. Should you decide to enjoy just the pancakes au naturel, just pay S$9.50. Though I wasn't very hungry, I polished off the whole plate clean within minutes. The stack, though not as huge as before, had generous chunks of wild blueberries, pressed into the fluffy batter which made it even more irresistible. And may I correct myself in a previous entry, there are enough blueberries to bring you bursts of mildly tangy joy with each and every mouthful (instead of every other mouthful). This would have been the ultimate decadent treat if hot chocolate sauce was drizzled over these tasty morsels of delight alongside a scoop of their homemade salted caramel ice cream! The tangy wild blueberries (which i suspect are the same as those sold at organic grocer BUNALUN) would make a good contrast against a dark chocolate sauce! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....

A salute to the chefs (at the Wheelock branch) who whipped up this hearty and yummylicious treat in the trans-fat free kitchen. Perfect comfort food to come home to. Can't wait to try all the other pancakes available here. Perhaps a savoury one for lunch at my next visit!
