My friend found this place on Google; it's a gluten-free rice pancake shop, quite special. The shop has a few simple indoor seating options, and the owner operates it alone. The Google landmark also mentions "bunny-friendly," which is pretty cute, haha.
▪️Signature Chocolate + Peanut $65
▪️Matcha Whipped Cream $75
The pancake comes in three types: Signature, Chocolate, and Matcha. I chose the Signature and Matcha. I took it to go, and when I got home, the pancake didn't have a crispness; it was dense. The chocolate peanut butter is toasted in the oven after spreading, and the flavor is quite common, feeling very indulgent but not overly sweet or rich.
What surprised me was the Matcha pancake. It has very little sweetness and a strong tea flavor, giving a slight astringent sensation in the mouth. It pairs quite well with the whipped cream, which is packaged separately. I originally thought the whipped cream would melt quickly if packed with the warm pancakes, but I found that the whipped cream seemed to be frozen, so it was just right next to the pancakes. That detail was very thoughtful.
Overall, while I seem to prefer the original pancake's softer, chewy texture, this one provides a strong sense of fullness. The pancake has a subtle rice aroma, making it quite unique.
Reviewer of the Pancake: This time it's takeout.
This place is Milan Pancakes, a gluten-free pancake shop located in Yilan, renowned for its pancake skin made from rice husk flour. Besides the signature pancakes, there are various dishes to choose from. The shop is run by just the owner, so it's recommended for customers in a hurry to make a phone reservation in advance. The pancake skins are available in three flavors: original, cocoa, and matcha. We chose the matcha pancake skin paired with fresh cream (75 TWD) and the original pancake skin paired with chocolate and peanut butter (65 TWD).
The pancakes are handmade on-site and require a short wait, but the aroma that wafts during baking is mouthwatering. The matcha pancake skin is rich in tea aroma, and the fresh cream is smooth and non-greasy, making for a very refreshing combination; the original pancake skin has a faint rice fragrance, a chewy texture, and slightly crispy edges, paired with chocolate and peanut butter that is rich but not overly sweet, offering a rather nice overall flavor.
Additionally, the shop is a rabbit-friendly restaurant, housing cute rabbits in a warm environment. As the location may be slightly inconvenient for customers driving, it's suggested to come by bike. The overall experience was satisfying, and I would like to try other flavors next time. I recommend it to friends who enjoy unique-flavored pancakes.
