Soyffle Pancakes for Dinner

After trying the souffle pancakes at Hotcake and then reading about Soyffle Pancakes at Soylab, I simply had to give Soylab@Damansara Uptown a go. 

After my morning weigh-in (hah..hah... I weigh myself and check my body fat percentage once week, what a laugh, right?) which revealed that my weight and body composition is fairly stable (thanks to intermittent fasting), I decided to go ahead and eat dinner at Soylab.

It was something like 4:00pm when I got there and the place was buzzing with tables occupied by groups of two or more. Admittedly, I was very jakun because I was not sure what was the ordering procedure.

Apparently, you order from the window outside, pay and then the nice cashier will give you the receipt and your table number. 

So I went inside and took a seat to enjoy my "Bean Looking for Her" (regular RM9.00) which is their signature soymilk and freshly cooked pearls with homemade brown sugar syrup. It was quite nice except that I thought the soymilk was a little thin. Maybe that's due to the ice. The pearls were pleasantly soft and chewy.

When I ordered the Signature Soyffle Pancake (RM22.00), I was informed that it would take 30 minutes to serve. I was fine with that as I was not in a hurry to go anywhere. So while waiting, I just looked around.

These two pretty girls took the table in front of me and when their dessert was served, it emitted smoke.

In fact the thick smoke (dry ice actually) blew right at the table beside them. Pretty dramatic.

They were quite fascinated and from their reaction, this must be their first time having this dessert, the Soy Nice.

Then the two leng luis moved to the table next to mine. By then the smoke had died down. If I have a chance, I'd like to share this dessert with my brother. Wait lah. If he drops by my office.

After a long (but worthwhile) wait, my order was served looking really pretty.

Three soyffle (soy souffle pancakes) unsullied by any sauce save for a dollop of soy foam and dusted with powdered sugar. I was really looking forwards to digging in.

The pancakes were really lovely. The texture was soft, cottony and fluffy pretty much like Japanese Cotton Sponge Cake. 

The taste is pleasantly eggy, very good eaten just as it is. But since some syrup was provide, I drizzled some over the pancakes.

Compared to the texture of the souffle pancakes at Hotcake, this one is more "compact" and not floppy. Which do I prefer? This Soylab one wins hands down to me.

As for the soy soft serve, it was all right and not too sweet though it is not as smooth and creamy like regular ice cream. 

Well, that was a happy dinner don't you think? I'll be back for sure to check out the other soy delights.
