On the way to the airport, I stopped off for a late breakfast/early lunch. I had seen this place at The Forks when I was there last night and thought about eating there but decided to give it a try for mid-morning. The outside tables were closed due to chance of rain and I sat inside looking out over the waters.
I decided to order their famous Giant Apple Pancake. Instead of the regular super-duper size, I ordered their ‘baby’ version; just the size of a regular plate. This thing was huge (even for a baby) with a tart like crust and covered in seasoned/baked apple slices and their special imported Saigon Cinnamon glaze. Now, once again I am a sauce guy but this thing did not need any syrup. The taste and texture was fabulous without syrup; the fresh whipped butter might have helped too.
Very unusual to describe but really a giant tart with a buttery crisp crust and sides, lite batter in the middle providing just enough to support the large apple slices and cinnamon. I topped it off with a side of smoked bacon and I was in hog heaven (no pun intended). I can only hope their other massive selections of pancakes, waffles and crepes can meet up with this monster. A must try at The Forks in Winnipeg.
