Pancakes Original Story was where I had my Christmas eve brunch this year.
A girly morning with the smell of fresh buttermilk pancakes, maple syrup, trays of eggs and happy sights of waffles and lattes.
It's a very tiny cafe, and it could only seat about a score of people inside. So it's probably wise to go earlier or tummy-prepared for a wait.
We ordered the breakfast set, where you can choose either french toast or the original buttermilk pancakes... with the choice of potatoes or salad for your sides and of course- "how would you like your eggs"?
We had scrambled, poached and sunny-side-up respectively!
It was lovelier when the sun finally showed up for work at noon- it made the pancakes look even more handsome.
It was about \19,000 a person for a set and a coffee and worth the frantic trip and -12 degree walk outside to get here.
**Directions: Hannam Station, walk all the way straight out till you see the road, turn right and walk all the way (10mins) till you see a huge intersection, (you'll be able to see the brown cafe exterior while waiting for the lights) wait for the lights and cross the road and it's the first shop, in the corner.
