Flipper’s, a famous Japanese souffle pancake cafe, will open in Singapore this November 2020, in Takashimaya, along Orchard Road.
Well known for trailblazing the souffle pancake trend with what they call the Kiseki Pancake, these plain pancake rounds look as fluffy as clouds, and come served with maple syrup, a dollop of sweet whipped cream, as well as a dusting of powdered sugar. Kiseki, which means “miracle” in Japanese, could perhaps hint at the impossibly airy texture of each pancake, made with an extremely, inimitable precise recipe.

Other versions are also available, including one served with fruits such as bananas, strawberries, and blueberries, as well as one with matcha cream.

Also coming to Singapore will be Flipper’s savoury pancake menu, so we can probably expect souffle pancake eggs benedict, as well as a souffle pancake spin on avocado toast topped with bacon or shrimp, both of which are sold in the cafe’s global eateries.
Though this is Flipper’s first cafe in Singapore and Southeast Asia, the brand has existing outlets across Asia, in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Seoul and more. Flipper’s has also opened in New York! They are one of Japan’s most popular souffle pancake exports apart from Gram, located in VivoCity. Even till this day, the outlets in Japan still draw lengthy queues.
Though the opening date has not been fixed as yet, you can follow them on their Facebook page for more updates.
