Hazelnut Pancake

Hazelnut pancake is a familiar sight at local hawker breakfast stalls, often grouped alongside other traditional min jiang kueh (peanut pancake) options. This version features a soft, slightly chewy pancake folded over a generous layer of hazelnut chocolate spread, giving it a rich, nutty aroma that appeals to both younger and older fans. Usually sliced into manageable squares or triangles, the pancake is warm and slightly crisp at the edges, while the filling stays melty and sweet inside. Some stalls add chopped roasted hazelnuts for that extra crunch. At around 220 kcal per 100g, hazelnut pancakes are on the indulgent side for breakfast—mainly due to the generous amount of sugar and chocolate spread in each slice. If you’re watching your calories or sugar intake, it’s best to share a piece or opt for a smaller portion, as a typical serving can be quite hefty. Pairing it with kopi-o kosong (black coffee, no sugar) might help balance out the sweetness. As with other sweet breakfast kueh, moderation is key to enjoying this treat without overdoing it.
