The Panke - Victoria Park, WA

After an intense boxing class at the gym J and I set off to meet our friend K for a scrumptious breakfast that made all that hard work and sweat worth it. 

The original plan was to visit another cafe in the area but due to the popularity and lack of seating, the place was too busy. 

We went for a short drive down the road and spotted The Panke. Pancakes and Steak House.

Interest concept. The word Pancake sold me immediately. 

We were welcomed by friendly staff and were seated in a booth. Immediately my little kid senses went into overload when we saw the hotplate in the centre of the table!

This place offered you to be able to cook your own pancakes with the toppings you desire!

Of course one of us had to try it!

And J it was!

Below is the DIY pancakes for $17 and a skinny latte for $4

Buttermilk mixture with strawberries, banana and shredded coconut.

The squeeze bottle made things easy and less messy. It provided the option to make the pancakes as big or small, thick or thin, cooked or uncooked as you liked. Being able to add as much topping as you like helped suit the desired taste. There was so much mixture for one person though. J struggled to get through it all but it was fresh and delicious.

J & K had the brilliant idea of writing Breakfast bliss in pancake mixture.
See the perfect result below.

K had the Hash Brown deal for $13 and her normal Long Mac topped up for $4

This included, a buttermilk pancake, egg, bacon, hash brown,
roasted tomato and a side of golden syrup. 

Everything in this meal was good!
Maple syrup instead of golden syrup would have made a better combination but over all it filled a hungry stomach! The pancake was fresh and fluffy. 

I had the Sun-Up Treat for $13 and a iced coffee for $5

This included one buttermilk pancake, hash brown, scrambled eggs, bacon and grilled pineapple. 

Being a huge fan of anything with pineapple in it, it was the obvious choice for me!

It made the perfect bit of sweetness to the meal. Bacon was crispy but eggs were a little dry. 

Due to my Brain being mush after a hard work out, we got side tracked and i didn't get to take a photo of the place. But the atmosphere was friendly, professional and it was a enjoyable breakfast.

The only thing i would mention is the Cafe itself is quite dark due to the dark colour paint and furnishings. Not alot of natural light.
