Out of the Pan


Located at Basement 1, Raffles City Shopping Centre, this restaurant offers common dishes like salads, soups and waffles, along with its main signature dish- crêpes, created with either an Asian or European twist. At Out of the Pan, the award winning pastry team creates an alluring range of waffles, sweet crêpes, ice creams and cakes for patrons. U can even make your own 'signature' crepe with the fillings that you want, something which my mum keeps reminding me.



wj and i shared a set meal which includes any crepe from the ala carte menu, 3 salads to choose from, and a selection of drinks which includes brew of the day, tea or soft drinks. Our first thoughts was to try out the Peking duck flavour but mum beat us to it. So we decided to try the Seafood jungle instead. Mum ordered the Tutti Fruiti salad and we had the Potato red skin Salad. Both salads came looking all colourful and yummy, but the taste is quite lacklustre. Nothing great here, and the salad sauce was really way beyond nice.


Daddy had the roast beef+bell peppers which i could see that he was enjoying himself totally. Mum stole a piece from him and said that his tasted better than her Peking duck. Wj and I tried mum's Peking Duck and thought that her Peking duck was far superior than our Seafood Jungle!
The Seafood Jungle crepe did had many shrimps and bite size scallops but the taste just wasnt there, neither was it savoury enough for me to want more. Dull.


Overall, here's the verdict:
Seafood Jungle, recommended by the restaurant itself but i HIGHLY UNRECOMMEND it.
Peking Duck: nice chinese flavour. Savoury and makes you want more. You can give it a miss if you are on a diet. Lots of Peking skin to be removed.
Roast Peppers: Tender thick strips of roast beef topped with juicy crunchy bell peppers. This is the one you should try.
Generally all crepes came with a generous serving of filling and topped with lots of romaine lettuce plus salad cream. Good for starving people, bad for people on a diet. If you aint hungry, one portion of the crepe here could serve 2 persons. Overall for pricing, it's not very expensive considering the amount of food you are getting for the price. Service was prompt and efficient. Staff was generally friendly. But i was there in the morning so not much crowd. So we had their undivided attention. Entertainment: Water spurting at the fountain while we eat. Ample natural daylighting to the overall ambience. Nice breakfast spot i think for a weekend. Maybe if there's a second chance, i might just go back and try their sweet crepe instead of savoury ones.
