Raffles City Shopping Centre located at a strategically location which is accessible to City Hall mrt station is always one of the option to meet up with friends who are staying different parts of Singapore and overseas friend. I met up with my friend who was in town during first week of July 2013 (4/7/2013 to be exact) and rest of the friends.

The shopping mall has wide varieties choices of foods from restaurants,individual stalls and also food courts. We decided to try Out of the Pan which is located at the basement one surrounding the central fountain. I always pass by thinking that the foods served are quite pricey. Thus, it never crossed into my mind to try until we saw the signage of One-to-One offer for main course. And of course there isn’t any queue so we managed to get our seats straightaway.

The concept is open air and we could hear the water flowing sounds from the fountain. The dinning area is surrounded with people walking here and there and customers get the opportunity to watch and observe the surrounding.

Here are the crepes that we ordered:-

One of the best seller is Peking Duck Crepe ($15.50) with thin whole choice of crepe wrapping around roasted duck with sambal olek,lychees and plum sauce. It dark salty sweet sauce and the slices of roasted duck was a great combination. The lychees gives the sweetness taste into the combination. It’s the fusion creation from the original Chinese peking duck I would say.

Korean BBQ Pork ($14.50) with flavoured pork and Korean chilli paste served with kimchi. Surprisingly not spicy at all. The pork texture was tender and soft but I couldn’t taste much of the kimchi taste though.

Norwegian Salmon ($16) that consists of the crepe wrapped with smoked salmon and creamy pistachio cheese and chutney. The portion of the smoked salmon meat was quite generous. The combination of the creamy sauce with the fish was just perfect.

Red Wine Beef Stew ($15) that consists of the braised beef shank cube with potato and carrot in red wine sauce. The braised beef shank was nicely done. Just right taste to blend into the taste bud.

As for the drinks, we had Mango Fruit Juice ($5) which is concentrated mango juice and freshly made Mint Lemonade ($5) which stated that it’s from fresh pressed lemons, touch of sugar and fresh mint leaves lengthened with soda water. This is way too good for have some before main course. It widens up the appetizer.
Dessert choice was Stamford Brownies ($11). Rich chocolate walnute cake served with vanilla ice-cream and chocolate fudge sauce. It’s totally sinful and awesome to satisfy the chocolate craving.

The service is considered acceptable. The staffs weren’t that attentive during peak hours. Maybe they were too busy to notice the request. However, the ordering staff was quite friendly to provide recommendation when we were indecisive what to order.

Sourish appetizing fermented cabbage with shredded kimchi pork was spicy and had strong taste of Korean flavours jam packed in a well wrapped crepe. However I felt it was a little dry overall and could use an actual kimchi dipping sauce to enhance the taste, but no such option was available.

I seldom see asian infused dishes with western when it comes to savoury crepes.The fish and prawn meat were well hidden like clown fish in sea anemones, I had the impression that the serving was little but when I took a bite, I felt all the freshness of the seafoods, flavours of spicy,sour, sweet and bitterness (from the crepe) simultaneously bursted in my mouth. The okra (lady finger) , pineapple and cucumbers added a nice texture ontop of all. This is a well done crepe.

Awesome food and nice environment. The tables and chair are all clean, just that I don't like the concept it is open air. I feel so weird as if something will fall on my head any time. But their really serve crepes that come along with different 'skins'. One of it I like the best is the whole wheat, the texture is just right. Peking duck is one of their signature dish there and now they are also having 1-for-1 promotion for DBS and POSB card holder! Do give it a try! Anyway, one last thing to add on, their service is a bit slow. I asked for bill and it took them 20minutes to serve me. the restaurant is not pack but the staff is just happily chatting.

Out of the pan offers a wide range of crepes, and i went there when there was a one for one promotion. I had the Chocolate Mania Sweet Crepe, which looks really good, but it was filled with too much banana till it stole the limelight away from the chocolate itself. Unable to really appreciate this dish. And the crepe is way too thick as well. Service wise was prompt and polite. Nice place to go on a weekend to chill out.

Rum and raisin crepes is strictly for adults only; soft warm crepe topped with cold rum & raisin ice cream and rum soaked preserved fruits.
Tiramisu crepe was disappointing; the mousse inside was icy causes the whole combination not smooth as suppose too.
Banana Split Waffle was my favourite; crispy well cooked waffle with fresh bananas, smooth custard and silky ice cream. DIVINE ah !
Berries waffle, special cinnamon waffle topped with smooth custard and fresh fruits. Yum !
Would return for the waffles even without the promo.
Really nice ambiance too.
$32.96 for 4 dessert

Tiramisu crepes is served with a big scoop of Espresso ice-cream on top. To me, it tastes Ok at first, yet getting too much at the end caused by the cream filling.

Out of the Pan serve a wide variety of crepes ranging from savoury to sweet, as well as sweet waffles.

I went there last Sunday and ordered a 'Sweet and Sour Fish and Assam Prawn with lady finger, pineapple and cucumber' as stated in their menu. We have a option of their plain crepe, whole wheat crepe, and sun-dried tomato crepe. I chose the sun-dried tomato crepe which i find the most interesting.

When it was served, the long crepe was cut into two and placed beside a side salad dressed with olive oil and vinegar. The crepe was crispy at the end and soft in the middle (probably due to the stuffing inside), which gives 2 contrasting texture which i really like. There was not much tomato-taste, but the light reddish hue of the crepe makes the food looks more appetising to me. The filling has a really good balance of sweetness, sourness and hint of spiciness.

Overall, a really enjoyable meal.

A few of my ex classmates who catch up several times a year like to gather at Out of the Pan Cafe which surrounds the iconic indoor fountain at Raffles City B1. This Cafe has somehow dropped off our radar as we took to checking out the many new restaurants that have popped up recently. We decided to revisit Out of the Pan for our New Year getogether as we have fond memories of it as a hip place for a pleasurable light meal and long conversations. There was no deja vu this time. The Cafe's floor area has shrunk and tables are now spaced more closely together. The indoor fountain which used to be a soothing sight is now a noisy hub after the mall's makeover, with many busy food kiosks facing the cafe, and shoppers resting on the semi circular bench surrounding half of the fountain. Thus, Out of the Pan is now a place better suited to people watching than a cosy respite for tete a tete among friends.

We ordered the mushroom crepe and salmon crepe for our entrees, and the banana split waffle and tiramisu crepe for dessert.

Food quality remains consistently good, but service standards are now more lax. Previously our glasses will be topped up without being asked, and the wait-staff would name the dish when they brought the plates to our table. Now the dishes are just placed on the table and the servers would leave. The mushroom crepe was light and tasty, but the smoked salmon crepe was a little salty. The amount of filling in both types of savoury crepes has shrunk and the crepes were too loosely rolled up, so some of the filling would drop out when we sliced the crepes using the table knives provided. With menu prices raised to cover inflation, we did not expect the portion to shrink.

Thankfully, the desserts have not shrunk in terms of portion sizes, and taste-wise standards have been maintained. The tiramisu crepe was smooth and creamy, with coffee liqueur taste being discernible and the accompanying espresso gelato having a clear taste of caffeine. The signature banana split waffle needs no introduction (see photo); the chocolate gelato was tastefully rich, complementing the crispy waffle and ripe but firm Del Monte banana well, providing a happy contrast of flavours and textures. The desserts uplifted our overall dining experience. We will return here just for the desserts.

Well, the resto was a perfect brunch place. They have a wide array of crepes which are not too heavy nor too light. I had the BLT, which I chose because I love everything with bacon. I was surprised that I was given two big crepes stuffed generously with ingredients. It was really filling. The bacon was fried to crispy perfection and the salad which came with it was really fresh.

Out of the Pan is a great place to have desserts, especially its sweet & savoury crepes. Located right in the middle of basement 1 of Raffles City, it is impossible to miss it!

Out of the Pan is a great place to have desserts, especially its sweet & savoury crepes. Located right in the middle of basement 1 of Raffles City, it is impossible to miss it! After a day of shopping or walking around City Hall/ Raffles Place area, you can drop by Out of the Pan for either an afternoon high tea moment or an after-meal dessert. Highly recommend the crepes, which are also what they are famous for. My friends and I prefer sweet crepes, so we ordered one Old Style Rum & Raisin Sweet Crepe and also Tiramisu Sweet Crepe.

The Food
The crepes were absolutely lovely! I haven't eaten many crepes to determine how good they are, but I will say that they are very satisfying (not relatively to any other crepes). Both the Old Style Rum & Raisin Sweet Crepe and Tiramisu Sweet Crepe have their different merits.

The Rum & Raisin Crepe has the extra twang of rum taste which makes it really interesting without being overpowering, and the crepe is really fluffy and soft! It makes you feel like you are biting into bits of sweet clouds. The sweetness of the crepe is just right. However if you're not a fan of sweet food, you might find that it is too sweet. The funny part is that it is quite difficult to cut because it is kinda soft and shapeless, so it might not be very glam eating this. But it's really so damn good, you'll want more!


The Tiramisu Crepe gives the feeling of "good ol' yummy desserts". It is just the way you'll expect to be, wonderfully blissful. It is firmer than the Rum & Raisin Crepe and easier to cut, too. I like both crepes!


The Service
Wonderful, polite, prompt, full of initiative, attentive! They are really a wonderful crew that attended to our needs from the moment we reach until we left.

The Ambience
Out of the Pan is quite cozy despite being located right in the middle of Raffles City basement 1!
Serving a crowd of mostly families/couples, the place is bustling with soft/mid-tone conversations. I like it because you don't feel that it's too quiet or noisy to have a conversation.

Price
$14 for a sweet crepe. I think there was a 1-for-1 offer there so it was technically $7 each. I think it's quite steep for my usual spending, but if you're in that area and itching for desserts, most of them are priced around this range. The portion was shared amongst 4 of us!


Overall
Loved this place and definitely recommend you to try this place. (Heh you probably walk past this place multiple times but don't realize it!)

Here at this restaurant, I love to order their desserts, especially their waffles with ice cream. The waffles are very crunchy and the sweetness of it is just right. The vanilla ice cream is also very smooth and thick in texture, which goes really well with the crunchy waffles. The portion is quite generous and good to share among two people after a sinful meal here.

If you want something healthy and yet tasty, I will recommend that you visit out of pan. The reason why I find it kinda healthy is that the crepes are not oily and lean meat are usually used as the filling of the crepes. A side salad is also served together with savoury crepes. However, I think this is not very suitable for big eaters as they may find that the serving is kinda small and will not be full even after having a main course.

The crepe came in two choices, either plain or sun dried tomato. For the fillings, there were quite a variety of authentic flavour such as Peking duck, spicy Korean pork, black pepper beef for example. I had the sun dried tomato crepe with black pepper beef. I was very impressed with the creation and how good the combination turned out.
