Nasi Lemak Pancake at Pancake House

Alright!


So Pancake House Malaysia came out with their newest menu which was the Pancake Nasi Lemak!

After all the craziness from the Nasi Lemak Burger.. Which originate from Singapore,  and then Burgerlab decided to do another version of their Nasi Lemak Burger here in Malaysia,  that cause a little bit of drama from both Malaysians and Singaporeans.

But, hey, Pancake Nasi Lemak.  Its fresh,  new and I am sure everyone wants to get a piece of it.

So,  I got free vouchers as part of their promotion to promote this menu and decided to visit their Pancake House outlet at IOI City Mall,  Putrajaya on Monday for lunch.  I prefer to go on a weekday as there will be less people,  which means less waiting time,  less trouble,  less crowd,  more peace and quite and yup!

I went there and saw their menu,  which obviously they are promoting the Nasi Lemak Pancake.


 My voucher allowed me to redeem the Nasi Lemak Pancake Set Meal which cost RM27.90 . It comes with a cendol cooler as well.

Cendol was served within 10 minutes.



Not your average Cendol where you get them served in a round bowl.  This Cendol Cooler (a la carte priced at RM12.90 ) is served in a tall cup.  Tasted just like your average Cendol,  the only problem I have is the spoon they provided is too short and you cannot really stir the beans and Cendol Jelly thing below the cup  without dirtying your hands.  

Nasi Lemak Pancake 😁😁


 Alright,  taste wise,  its Good!  You totally get that its a Nasi Lemak..... Pancake. They have the egg,  the ikan bilis,  the nuts , the sambal,  the cucumber slices and 2 prices of chicken. Ok, they only showed one piece of chicken in the brocher,  but I got 2 pieces.  Bonus!  

Here is a picture of the pancake being sliced open! 


It really does taste good.  The fried chicken itself was not bad,  quite juicy and the skin crispy.  I really enjoy the whole dish but it gets a little bit too much towards the end . This dish is quite similar to your typical roadside Nasi Lemak,  because they just replaced the Rice with their signature Pancake and for me,  the changed is not that big so the taste,  smell and the originality of the Nasi Lemak is well maintained,  with a modern twist of Pancake in it.  

Overall,  great food. I enjoyed it. 

In an effort to promote this dish even more,  if you share the picture of your dish on instagram or facebook , and then show to the staff,  you can get one scoop of ice cream free.  

I am super full with the Cendol and Nasi Lemak Pancake so I pass this. 


Service was great. Wifi not working though😰 .  Food was nice and I enjoyed it.

Till then,
Cheer.

The Facebook Post
How can you not be excited??!!! I am so excited to try them out , previously I have tried some of their drinks before (more to Lychee and Watermelon kind of variants as I enjoy them the most) and for the longest time I was hoping for them to come out with some new refreshing menu as their usual menu is getting  a little bit boring to tell the truth.


                                   They came out with the New Oreo Smoothies Series! 

OREO SMOOTHIES SERIES

MINTY CHOC  RM6.50
BANANA CHOC  RM6.50
CHOCOLATE CHIP  RM6.50
CAPPUCCINO  RM5.50
STRAWBERRY  RM5.50
CHOCOLATE  RM5.50
ORIGINAL RM4.50

And as I am a Oreo /Chocolate / Mint person, I just have to try their Minty Choc at only RM6.50 !

But sadly,  when I reach my favourite Coolblog kiosk,  I saw that the Minty Mint is OUT OF STOCK!!   WHY today??


Cool Blog at Metro Point Kajang

The New Flavour Promo Banner,  but Minty Choc
no stock already.  πŸ˜­πŸ˜­



I was really sad and ask weather I can get them tomorrow but the staff over there told me that the management did not sent the require ingredients and asked me to try to get it at Plaza Metro Kajang.  πŸ˜­

So I end up picking and ordered the Banana Choc,  I am not really a Banana-kind of person,  but decided to give it a try since they do not have mint. 




Suprisingly,  it tasted better than I can imagine .  If you see from the picture,  you cannot really see the yellow strips of banana as what was shown on the poster.  But the banana taste was definately in it.  It is not strong which really suits me. Thank God! Towards the end of my drink I still can get a little bit of banana feel . 

The banana and the chocolate definately is a good combination. I can feel small tiny chunks of round biscuit chocolate-kind of thing which makes it totally delicious in my mouth. The overall drink is just nice, not too sweat , just suit my taste buds. This menu is of the classics with a few modern additions to it. 

To top it up,  my drink was fresh and is the perfect thrist-quencher for a hot day! This relieve my body tiredness and is very satisfying. 




I think you can ask the team in store to help make recommendations on your preferences and it surely will be an even greater experience for you.

If you ever come to any CoolBlog kiosk, do not forget to try their Local Desserts too. I personally have not tried any , the last time I wanted to try but the staff said that one of the ingredient is out of stock so did not manage to give it a go. 

They also have an Oreo Blog, dedicated to all Oreo LOVERS ou there. 

Do not be worry, if you do not like all sweet, chocolate and that, instead want to enjoy some fresh and nicely done coffee or even some gentle Tea to cool down your day, worry not as CoolBlog have them cover for you. Coffee , Tea or Both ?
You make your choice! 

Mind you, as you can see the price is SO SO SO SO much cheaper than other places like Tealive or Starbucks, so why not give it a try and you might just enjoy the same great taste by paying way less!

They also cater not only for cold drinks, but hot drinks too. And this is where Hot Blog came in mind. In Hot Blog, the beverages are hot and you can enjoy it best as it warms you up even more.


They also have two more blogs which are the Happy Blog and Fruitti Chocolate to even add more variety to satisfy their customer choice.



Some positive review from my side :
1. I always got my orders without delay and need not wait long
2. The price is reasonable if compare to other places
3. Easily available and location is just nice for me
4. The price is shown and transparent

Some negative review :
1. No place to sit 
2. No wifi 
3. Could not try their new Choc Mint after going to 3 kiosk :(

Do have a look at their official Website for even complete menu and what's is more to Coolblog than meet the eyes.
