The Pancake War: TCC

If you haven't visited TCC recently, here's a fun fact for you: the coffee chain has strangely been changed from The Coffee Connoisseur to The Connoisseur Concerto. Like several other coffee chains, TCC offers a range of breakfast items to start off your day, including scrambled egg croissants and American breakfast sets.
Yes, raisins are a rich source of iron but I would recommend ignoring the questionable health claims scattered all over the menu. Castle in the Clouds ($9.50++) was overloaded with so many raisins, they must have made up half the volume of the pancake batter! On their own, the pancakes were fluffy but overly sweet and crumbly, so much so that I started wondering if I was eating 马拉糕 (a traditional Chinese steamed sponge cake) instead. While the generous portion of glazed apples stuffed between the layers were nicely crunchy, they rendered this dish even sweeter. In contrast, the dollop of cinnamon cream was insufficient for the stack.
My favorite component of this dish were actually the sweet berries on the side. Perhaps I should have gone for the organic pancakes instead, but again, I'd rather have Hotcakes at McDonald's.
