Weekend Eats: Family Friends Take Down Big Eats at Tiger Pancake House

What better way to start your Saturday than by tucking into a stack of fluffy pancakes? Nothing really, so we took Charissa Wang (8) who attends Daystar Academy in Shunyi, and William Ziming Wu (9) who attends The Elementary School Affiliated to Renmin University of China, to try out some grub at the Tiger Pancake House in Shuangjing.

Shuangjing is a neighborhood in Beijing with its fair share of American-style restaurants. One of these eateries is Tiger Pancake House, with their extensive menu of good old favorite breakfast items, burgers, and of course pancakes in a variety of flavors. The restaurant is both cozy and family friendly. While they don’t have a play corner, the pancakes should do a great job of keeping your kid’s attention.

William and Charissa have been family friends for a long time; they entered each other’s life when William made a run for it at kindergarten, and Charissa’s mother found him. The two mothers later became good friends, and even became each other’s children’s godmothers.

We arrived at Tiger Pancake House where they serve breakfast all day, just like those classic American diners. William and Charissa had a change of heart after looking at the menu, and William opted for a steak (RMB 188) and Charissa choose a cheeseburger (RMB 78). They combined this good old US fare with a strawberry milkshake (RMB 32) and vanilla mint milkshake (RMB 36). We also ordered a breakfast (RMB 65) and chocolate pancakes (RMB58) to make sure we tasted each option on the menu.

William devoured the steak; we were surprised by the gusto with which he ate the big slab of beef. Charissa took a bit longer with her food, but she surprisingly also finished the entire burger. The hash browns served were the closest taste to “real” hash browns we have ever eaten outside of the US, and the chocolate pancakes were a Saturday morning worthy dish, that probably needs sharing with two or more friends. All in all, we were very pleased with the experience, and Tiger Pancake House has definitely gained a couple of regular customers with these delectable sweet and savory items.

Fluffy Pancakes and Sturdy Burgers on Revamped Menu at Shuangjing’s Tiger Pancake House

What could be better on a lazy Sunday morning than big fluffy pancakes covered with gloppy syrup, a handful of fresh fruit of your choosing, and a big dollop of ice cream on a mountain of cream. Sound good? That’s exactly the kind of indulgence that Shuangjing’s Tiger Pancake House specializes in.

Opened around a year ago, Tiger Pancake House is picking up traction for its sprawling space across two stories, including a decent al fresco area out front, and for their main attraction: all-day breakfasts.

Last month, they completely revamped their menu, adding several new salads, including orange and roasted chicken salad (RMB 62), salmon and avocado salad (RMB 92), sirloin steak and quinoa salad (RMB 88), poached egg and coix seed salad (RMB 68), and some meatier options like slow roasted Angus beef shoulder (RMB 178). There are also a bunch of summery cold drinks to maintain your healthy run.

The salmon and avocado salad includes a perfectly grilled piece of salmon sitting atop of a mixture of vegetables, such as lettuce, sweet beans, radish, avocado, as well as strawberries, orange, walnuts, toasted almonds, thinly sliced cucumber, a refreshing lemon dressing and seasoned with salt and black pepper.

The other new salad, the sirloin steak and quinoa salad (pictured above) is similarly varied: grilled sirloin steak, quinoa, roasted pumpkin, cherry tomatoes, some mushroom, and caramelized walnuts, are dressed with a vinaigrette.

Strawberry pancakes (RMB 56)

However, if health is not what you’re after, you’ll certainly be eyeing up Tiger’s signature strawberry, chocolate, or banana pancakes (RMB 56). The strawberry pancakes come with two decently sized American-style pancakes topped with strawberries, a fat scoop of strawberry ice cream, homemade strawberry jam, and whipped cream. In case you were worried that there weren’t enough toppings (or that there wasn’t enough sugar), they also sprinkle the plate with powdered sugar and strawberry chips.

The chili con carne burger (RMB 78) for carnivores

They’ve also added three burgers (RMB 65-78): a mango curry burger, a chili con carne burger, and a bacon and coleslaw cheese burger. The suitably sloppy chili con carne burger comes with a beef patty slathered in a layer of chili, as well as cheese, tomato, lettuce, pickles, and onion. Messy, just how we like it.

Other comfort food on the menu, like the grilled squid and chicken (RMB 58), the fish and chips (RMB 68), and buffalo wings (RMB 48) remind us that Tiger Pancake House isn’t just about breakfast and pancakes, and together make Tiger House yet another strong America-centric eatery in Shuangjing.
