| - Really super nice staff at Fuwa Fuwa, I came in wearing my baby and was greeted by great staff members. The cafe is adorable, clean lines, minimal and cute. We got there early afternoon on a weekday and it was packed! But we did find a bar seat and before our order came up we got a regular table seat (which is much easier when wearing a newborn child).
Their menu of super fluffy Japanese pancakes is all variations on their original pancakes. Their menu ranges from $11 to $15.80 .... and it features their original pancake with maple syrup, to some of their more fun toppings like creme brûlée and tiramisu!
However, they have a secret menu. They have a dish that's called strawberry forest and I didn't know what to expect so I ordered it. At $22 a plate before tax, it seemed pricy so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm a sucker for secret menus so I tried it anyways.
Holy strawberry forest is a pretty accurate description. It is their 2 original pancakes, topped with whipped cream, strawberries and some strawberry sauce, surrounded by about a pound of perfectly ripe sweet summer strawberries.
Considering a pound of strawberries, depending on the season ranges from 2.99 to 7.99 at the supermarket and most of the time they aren't guaranteed to be sweet....I don't think it's that expensive for this dish. It's definitely a sharing plate for 2, and the least sweet option of everything the offer....and we loved it.
So I've talked about the fruit, but I haven't talked about Japanese soufflé pancakes. It was my first time trying soufflé pancakes, after seeing it countless times on instagram. Soufflé pancakes are really light fluffy (and when warm, jiggly and slightly foamy) light cakes. It's more of a soufflé super light cake texture then your traditional pancake, it's also more on the sweeter side then a traditional pancake. I enjoyed it as a fun dessert...it went well with the pile of fresh strawberries and complimented well with freshly whipped cream.
I also got their iced matcha latte. It's a simple latte and the sweetness was up to me to add (which I just left unsweetened). Refreshing and light, so I can appreciate the the dessert.
Just keep in mind that Japanese soufflé pancakes batter is really really thick , and they take a long time to cook! Don't be surprised if you are waiting for at least 20 mins for your order... it needs to be fresh and it needs all that time to cook. Those who are looking for a quick dessert should be warned and not complain about how long it takes.
