Actor opens Bangkok’s first pancake parlor

A fan of US-based restaurant chain IHOP (International House of Pancakes), actor Chai Chattayodom, along with his pancake-loving friends, started Pancake Café (Nawamin City Avenue, Kasetnawamin Rd., 08-2796-4556. Open daily 11am-10pm). The month-old parlor claims to be the first place in Bangkok to specialize in pancakes. The menu is still pretty limited but you can choose between savory and sweet styles. Signature dishes are Angel and Demon (two chocolate pancakes with strawberries and whipped cream) and Sweet Dream (butter milk pancakes topped with strawberries, maple syrup and vanilla ice cream).
