Centro Box Hill
A piece of fruit is definitely healthier and cheaper than this little street snack, but how can one resist the lure of little savoury pancakes? Especially when you can watch them being prepared and fried right in front of your very own eyes.
The spring onion and carrot pancakes will set you back $1.20, the one with bacon $1.50. As far as taste is concerned, I vote the carrot the best of the three, followed by the bacon and then the spring onion (which was actually quite tasteless). They were a little on the greasy side as they were fried with a generous splodge of margarine, but heck, they were not too bad for the price.
Box Hill Central is quite the spot for a quick/cheap bite, and Pancake Village sits smack bang in the middle of your typical food court, which leans most definitely towards Asian cuisines. You can find some neat cakes / dumplings / pastries there as well, so it is certainly worth checking out.
Yum! Too bad the spring onion one doesnt taste that good, I would have chosen that one out of the 3 if I were there!
Hey Ginger – I’m with you. The spring onion was my first choice too. Was a tad dissapointed it did measure up.
I just ate here last weekend!
Was going to put up a review too but I think it’ll just stay in draft mode for a little while.. haha.
I didn’t try the spring onion one though I was tempted.. the green tinge freaked my lunch buddy out. lol.
oo..they are pretty cheap n looked tasty too =) do they hav seafood/prawn pancakes?
Spring Onion would be my first choice, too.
Sorry to hear it didn’t measure up.
The bacon one looks like a little mini pizza
I was there last weekend too. I walked past and noticed them and despite being really full, I got a blueberry pancake. It was quite good, although the cream from a can spoilt it a little.
Hey shopaholic – I was so hoping the green tinge would be tasty
Hi ironeaters / mouse – yes, they do have seafood ones, but they are made to order. The ones I had always seem to be on the hob…
Hiya thanh – looks like all us bloggers are following each other about
