I headed over to the popular Belinda's Pancake stall. I was hoping to try her much-talked-about cone-shaped Min Jiang Kueh, but the owner informed me that it was only available on alternate days. I ordered a serving of puttu mayam and observed the preparation process. The puttu mayam had already been pre-made, with the owner simply removing it from its packaging. Even the sugar came in a pre-packed plastic sachet. The only distinctive touch was the freshly heated grated coconut, kept warm in a steamer and served alongside the dish. While the puttu mayam was pleasant enough, there was nothing particularly exceptional about it apart from the warm coconut.
The stall doesn’t give spoons anymore 😮💨 I went with my family member on a Friday morning. I ordered a hot drink while she didn t. So end up I used my coffee stall mini spoon to eat the putu mayam, and my family member had to pack back the food. Highly inconvenient.
The crispy peanut ($1.20) and cheese cone ($1.50) is simply delicious and addictive! You need quite a few to be satisfied. Another surprise is the kutu Mayam, although hard to compete with the ones in Malaysia, it’s one of the better one in Singapore. The fresh juicy coconut shaving was delightful on the kutu. Lastly, the pancake is so so only, go for the crispy cone instead! And get it before 12pm before it close, many popular ones will be gone early so go earlier before 10am!
