Breakfast Club: 5 Spots For Min Jiang Kueh Pancakes

"Meet min jiang kueh’s heftier cousin from Indonesia—martabak (not to be confused with murtabak, the pan-fried meat-stuffed bread). Martabak, which has a spongy honeycomb-like interior, can be commonly found in street food carts across Indonesia. Pancake Boss has upped the creative ante for martabak by presenting it in a riotous burst of colours and flavours. Screaming for attention are its ‘fusion’ pancakes such as the Red Robin ($14.80), a red velvet pancake laced with lemon cream cheese and crushed Oreos; Green Joker ($13.50), a green tea pancake that cushions sticks of matcha-flavoured Kit Kat chocolate and cheese. Go black to the basics with the Dark Knight ($14.80), a bamboo charcoal pancake with lemon cream cheese and cheese. Too fancy to stomach these treats? Stick to traditional flavours such as kacang (nuts), chocolate rice or cheese (from $7). Bigger groups can opt for the ‘pizza’ that is chock-full of toppings such as cheese, chocolate rice, Ovaltine and nuts." - Kenneth Goh
