Butterfinger Pancakes...

Once upon a time they used to have Denny's in Seoul. It was in Myongdong until the Asian Financial Crisis of '97. At various times since then there have also been various other pancake restaurants but never have I seen anywhere where people would queue up for half an hour for a table. Never that is until last weekend.

I mentioned in a previous post about our aborted attempt to eat at Butterfinger Pancakes. Well, undeterred we set off a couple of hours earlier the following week although that proved to be only just in time to beat the mid-morning rush. The place has tried to style itself as an American style diner with an open kitchen... We weren't sure what to expect, after all some places in Seoul do mock-western food with a degree of incompetence unrivalled anywhere else in the world and thus it was with some trepidation that I ordered a pancake brunch and Sunme ordered a waffle brunch. Emily certainly enjoyed her orange juice... I didn't know Heinz made maple syrup..? Finally the food came but we were so hungry that wasn't any time to take any proper photos of it...Emily is looking satisfied having finished hers. An empty plate...you can't get a better restaurant recommendation than that!
