So it does seem like the folks behind Meelo Pancakes hadn’t just opened another concept named Meelo Mini Bowls in the Food Junction food court at Westgate recently; they had also introduced a new concept named 大时代 by Meelo which is described to serve up Hotpot and Min Jiang Kueh as well that is located right beside the pushcart stall allocated to Meelo Mini Bowls within the same food court. With all that being said, it does seem that full operations for the stall has yet to kick in however — the area presumably made for hotpot operations seems to have been used for that of Meelo Mini Bowls’ selection of dishes, though the stall is serving up a variety of pancakes that is similar to what is being offered by Meelo Pancakes at their Lot One location. As with their Meelo Pancakes location at Lot One, all of the variants of pancakes available at the time are prominently displayed at the counter; much like other modern Min Jiang Kueh specialty stalls like Munchi Pancakes and Ottie Pancakes, the Min Jiang Kueh at 大时代 by Meelo comes with a good variety of flavours and pancake skin options as well.

One of the more unique pancake skins that are exclusively available at Meelo Pancakes / 大时代 by Meelo would be the Strawberry skin — something which we have not noted other similar brands doing and also did not manage to try why we had made our visit to their Lot One outlet previously. The rendition of the pancake being served up with the strawberry skin during our visit to 大时代 by Meelo was the Strawberry Japanese Red Bean Pancake. Whilst most pancake skins of other flavour variations apart from the Original being served up at other similar establishments does seem to be more for the colour than the flavour, we did note that the Strawberry skin does carry a very light hint of a sweet zing similar to that of strawberry jam that tickles the tastebuds apart from creating a red hue for the pancake. The consistency of the pancake is pretty similar to that of the ones served up at more modern establishments whereby the pancake itself is a little bit on the slightly thicker, denser and more substantial side; still came with crisp ends that carry a crunch. Meanwhile, the Japanese Red Bean filling here seemed to emphasise on the earthiness of the red beans rather than sweetness; makes the pancake pretty easy to finish.
