Tucked away in Kwai Chung Plaza, One More Pancake serves arguably the best pancake crepes in the building. It offers a wide variety of flavours ranging from tasty ham, crab, and tuna salad to more fruity flavours like banana, durian, and strawberry top with chocolate or Nutella sauce. You can have it either as a cold sweet dessert or a hot savoury snack. Although there are always noticeably long queues outside the vendor, their pancakes are definitely worth the wait.
