We can hardly think of any little kid that doesn’t like pancakes, so we’re sure that they would love to be able to make their very own pancakes that are in any shape that their heart desires. First, pick your batter – there’s everything from chocolate to zucchini to choose from. Next pick sweet or savoury fillings and toppings. You then proceed to make your own creations on the hot plate in front of you and the sky’s the limit in terms of the different type of creations you can come up with.

52. Open Farm Community (OFC)

OFC-36

A unique dining concept in Singapore, OFC supports Singapore’s urban farming community by using locally-sourced ingredients in its dishes. OFC emphasises on the importance of educating the public (children, in particular), on our relationship with food by creating an environment where kids can learn about herbs and plants in OFC’s garden from the Edible Garden City’s on-site urban farmers on top of monthly activities for children such as gardening classes. The food at OFC is also delightful where adults can enjoy freshly-made pastas and little ones dishes the likes of baby Caesar salad with poached chicken breast and rustic fish pie.
