Was going around International Plaza and got to know about the opening of a new outlet of Han N Han Nanyang Coffeehouse that is located at the ground floor of the building — for those whom might find the name “Han n Han” familiar; yes, this would be the very same folks behind the Han n Han Peanut Pancake brand name that one would be able to find in some coffeeshops around the island, though the Han N Han Nanyang Coffeehouse concept was pretty specific to the independently-run location at Blk 252 Jurong East Street 24 that has been around for quite a while. Unlike the Blk 252 Jurong East Street 24 location, their International Plaza outlet is being run more alike a takeaway kiosk; the space only being big enough for the counter, food preparation area and a dining table good for two (2) pax — it also feature a more limited food menu as compared to the outlet in Jurong East as such. Apart from their standard Traditional / Crispy / Mini Pancake offerings, patrons looking for more substantial fare can also opt for their line-up of Organic Millet Porridge; they also do have Curry Puffs and Herbal Tea Eggs with a wide variety of beverages to go along.

The Mini Pancakes at Han N Han Nanyang Coffeehouse are sold individually or in sets of four (4) pieces; just like their Traditional / Crispy Pancakes, they do offer quite a variety of different fillings together with their Mini Pancakes — the prices of the pancakes would be dependant on the fillings that one opts for. For our order of the Mini Pancakes, we went with the Biscoff, Black Sesame, Gula Melaka and Cheese for the set of four (4) pieces. Comparing the consistency of the mini pancakes to what one would expect out of the typical Min Jiang Kueh, the consistency of the Mini Pancakes were more consistent to that of western Pancakes that are soft and fluffy. The various fillings did hit the spot for us; the Biscoff one coming with a good spread of cookie butter spread and cookie butter crumbs, while the Gula Melaka version comes with desiccated coconut drenched in Gula Melaka — the more predictable ones would be the Cheese Mini Pancake coming with a slice of processed cheese, though we liked how the Black Sesame Mini Pancake came with runny black sesame spread that is all smooth yet coming with a roasty fragrance.
