Shop Named 10 Cent Pancake Sells Local Version Of Viral Korean Coin Snack At $5 Each

Would you pay $5 for this? 

Compared to the OGs sold in Korea and Japan, 10 Cent Pancake’s version appears nearly identical in size. Each pancake is slightly bigger than the average guy’s palm, and contains a block of mozzarella cheese filling for a satisfying cheese pull. 

8 Days colleagues who’ve tried it tell us if it’s worth the $5

“That amount can purchase a meal already”

Our 8days.sg senior entertainment editor has gone back to the shop for thirds. He says: “Not only did I buy the pancake [after first coming across it], I’ve bought it twice more since. I like how the pancake itself tastes and it’s not cloyingly sweet, so I don’t think $5 is too steep. Also, it’s not like I’m having it every day”. 

On the other extreme end, another 8days.sg editor says she wouldn’t even try it because of the price alone. “I was curious to try it, but would never pay $5 for a snack. That amount can purchase a meal already,” she explains. 

Biscoff filling available too

Besides cheese, 10 Cent Pancake also offers Biscoff filling, which is not typical of coin pancakes sold in Japan and Korea (they offer other options like custard and red bean instead). 

The Biscoff stuffing here is mixed with mozzarella for $6.50, but you can opt for pure Biscoff filling for $5. 

Wash your snack down with drinks like Black Coffee and Iced House Tea for $5, or White Coffee and Oat White Coffee for $6.
