The star ate these pancakes two days in a row. Now you can too — the Tokyo import will serve its fluffy treats in a Singapore bar for three months.

Shawn Yue Adores These Japanese Soufflé Pancakes From Riz Labo Kitchen, And So Do We

Tokyo pancake cafe Riz Labo Kitchen has been around since 2016, but it still boasts long queues daily at its Omotesando shop (its only outlet) in Japan. Riz’s Japanese owner tells us Taiwanese star Shawn Yue “visited [the store] for two consecutive days”. What it’s famous for: its pillowy, fluffy soufflé pancakes made with gluten-free Japanese rice flour (‘riz’ means rice in French while Labo means laboratory), organic brown sugar, Kagoshima brown sugar and egg whites. It opened its three-month-long pop-up shop in Singapore last week in Wisma Atria, within food enclave Japan Food Town’s 20-seat cocktail joint Bar Nippon (the bar operates only at night while Riz Labo operates during the day). While Riz’s boss Kazu Tsurumura has no plans to extend the pop-up, she's in talks with online grocery and food delivery company Honestbee, among other F&B companies, to open a permanent standalone restaurant here. Nothing has been confirmed, though. She says: “It depends on whether Singaporeans like our pancakes.” Scroll on to find out what’s good to order there.
