Creating soft pancakes and crunchy waffles, Pancake House has evolved from a humble home-style restaurant to a chain of more than 70 outlets in the Philippines. It is now embarking on a new venture that will bring its trademark Filipino warmth and homey ambience to Malaysia.

"Pancake House International is a proof that a local brand can go places and impress other nationalities. This is our way of showing to the world that we can be the best in what we do," said Bernadette Lee, Pancake House managing director.

Located in Sunway Pyramid, a busy shopping mall in downtown Kuala Lumpur, it is a refreshing welcome to both locals and foreigners who crave for comfort food such as pasta and noodles; steaks, burgers and chicken; salads and sandwiches; and desserts. "We are introducing some of the best comfort food that had become favorites of Filipino families. It cuts across the barriers of age, nationality, even social status, yet it clearly caters to the most important unit of a community – which is the family," says Lee.

The Malaysia outlet also offers Salmon Fillet, a healthy steamed fillet of salmon served with cream pepper sauce. "We also introduced new drinks and fruit shakes to cater to their refreshment needs. New chilled juices include katsuri, kiwi, black currant, and apple; while the fruit shakes are honey dew and starfruit," says Lee.

Plans are underway for the opening of more Pancake House International branches in Malaysia.
