Groningen City - Part Two, It's all about PANCAKES!!!!

WHO LOVES PANCAKES SAY "AYE"!!!
And if you've said 'Aye!' , welcome aboard the Pancake Ship!


The Pancake Ship!
The Pancake Ship's actually a restaurant on the canal that serves pancakes! Kids obviously love the pancakes and I've never ever seen that many blonde children within a restaurant in my life before, it was almost surreal.
Tessa with a bacon & cheese pancake!




A close-up view of the pancake!

Absolutely delicious and SINFUL. Imagine a pancake glistening with maple syrup (not on yet) with melted cheese & streaky bacon!


The healthier Apple & Banana alternative!
(If you can see the frosted sugar & imagine the maple syrup on, then you know it's not that healthy either.... ... )
After this enormous meal (ONE PANCAKE EACH!) , we went home to catch HOUSE on TV &.... ... ... we bought a box (of 3's , which means one each for me, Mag & Tessa!) of MAGNUM! Not just any Magnum but Magnum Ecuador Dark (62% cocoa!) !
(when you see Maggie & I 2 sizes larger back in Singapore, remind us to lose some weight though you'll know that the damage was well worth it )
And no, we won't stop there in our quest for good food :) Check the next picture out! (This was taken on a separate day, of course!)


Poffertjes with beer!!!

Poffertjes is really typical Dutch & something that I REALLY like!! (though I can't decide which I prefer, stroopwafels or poffertjes) It's a bite-size pancake coated with lots butter (!!!) & frosted sugar. It's warm, so the butter melts (!!!) & it's SUPER nice to have on a cold day! (Not forgetting the beer, of course :) )

So there we have it, hollers on pancakes from Holland!!!!! Thanks Tessa for bringing us to these awesome places at the city centre for some awesome pancakes :)
