Mister Wheel 不貳光車輪餅 (Suntec City)

($3.30) I didn't expected that I will be going to suntec for this lol. But then need to wait for the crowd to die down first a while. The taste for red bean was quite milky and creamy tbh but the batter taste like strong eggy. Overall experience is trying for once a while because its quite expensive for daily payment lol

There has been some social media postings about the opening of Mister Wheel 不貳光 at Suntec City going around; for those whom are unaware, Mister Wheel is a brand hailing from Taiwan that specialises in wheel pancakes. The brand operates two locations in Taiwan, and their Suntec City outlet is the brand’s very first outpost in Singapore. Mister Wheel should be a relatively easy find within Suntec City Mall; the kiosk takes over a previously unoccupied area that is near both SuperPark, Olivia & Co and Guerilla Coffee. Given its location, it is little surprise that Mister Wheel operates as more of a takeaway kiosk; this is especially considering the fare that they serve up. With that being said, those whom intend to dine-in at Mister Wheel are able to do so, though dine-in seating is fairly limited at with only bench seating coupled with two small tables standing in between the bench. With its focus being set entirely on wheel pancakes, Mister Wheel’s wheel pancake offerings are split into categories such as Signature Flavours, Classic Flavours and Savoury Flavours. Interestingly, Mister Wheel also serves up a small line-up of beverages; the beverage menu being split into Coffee, Cold Teas and Fresh Specialty Drinks categories.

Wanting to give a few of their pancake flavours a try, we found ourselves opting for both the Custard Cream from the “Signature Flavours” section of the menu and the Taiwan Yam from the “Classic Flavours” section of the menu a go. The wheel pancakes are conceptually similar to Japanese Obanyaki; the same sort of pancakes that Mr. Bean has been known to retail for quite a while — one can also find such pancakes being sold at establishments like 108 Matcha Saro as well. Each pancake is made-to-order, which explains the reason why there would be a waiting time of 15 to 20 minutes for the wheel pancakes to be ready — also comes stamped on the surface for more visual appeal. Between the two flavours which we had opted for, it would be the Taiwan Yam that would be the more memorable one — both pancakes are similar apart from the difference in filling; the pancake comes crisp on the exterior having been made fresh upon order while also did not feel particularly dense. In fact, we did find both pancakes a rather easy to eat. That being said, the Taiwan Yam gave us the stronger impression for how it didn’t feel like the average taro filling that we were expecting. We initially only expecting a taro filling almost akin to that of Teochew-style Orh Nee to be found within the wheel pancake; turns out that the filling here seem to emphasise heavily on the inherent earthiness of the taro itself. Not only was the filling not particularly sweet, but here were also chunks of yam that helped to provide some texture and a soft bite that set it apart from the usual taro fillings of most desserts / snacks found out there. Wheel pancakes are usually seen more as a novelty item; Mister Wheel prices their wheel pancakes between $3.30 to $4.50 depending on the classification of the flavour as per the menu — something worth trying for the novelty of it if in Suntec City Mall!
