Pancakes are a popular food worldwide and take many different forms — from the thick, sweet, fluffy creations popular in the US served with sausage and syrup, to the thin crêpes of France and the UK served with lemon juice and sugar, and the stodgy potato versions found in Germany and its vicinity.
Historically, pancakes have been eaten as an energy-packed breakfast or afternoon treat in Europe since the early 15th century and are also the main feature in the Christian tradition of Shrove Tuesday, the day before the Easter abstinence period of Lent starts, when pancakes are cooked to use up any remaining fat, sugar and eggs — all of which are forbidden during Lent.
Nowadays, pancakes can be found everywhere and are currently a trendy treat among Denpasar’s youths.
At Funny Pancake, a café located at Jl. Sesetan 200 in Denpasar, your pancakes are served not only with a myriad of toppings but also in the shapes of cartoon characters, such as Patrick from Sponge Bob, Minions and other imaginary characters.
The café is richly decorated in colorful paint and has an open kitchen ready to challenge its visitors’ creativity and cooking talents. It is also equipped with a sofa with teddy bear pillows, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Visitors can also cook their own pancakes using bottled ingredients priced at Rp 38,000 (US$2.79) per bottle and use toppings such as chocolate, blueberry jam, cheese, Kit Kat, Oreo biscuits and ice-cream. The toppings are sold separately for between Rp 5,000 and Rp 12,000 each.
Funny Pancake claims to be the first do-it-yourself pancake café in Bali.
In addition to making normal pancakes, visitors can also create a pizza-sized pancake called the Happy Pizza with various toppings for a cost of Rp 80,000 each.
