Fuwa Fuwa Japanese Soufflé Pancakes Featuring Hello Kitty

Café Archives: Fuwa Fuwa Japanese Soufflé Pancakes Featuring Hello Kitty

Soufflé pancakes started popping up everywhere on Instagram and not long until these lightweight fluffy and delicious pancakes hit London town in late 2019.

Fuwa Fuwa cafe is the hot-spot chain café for these Japanese treats, with various locations.

As courtesy of Sanrio’s bestselling character, Hello Kitty, Fuwa Fuwa café did a launch collaboration.

Having grown up in Asia with many of my friends adoring and flaunting Sanrio’s merchandise, I made my way to the original café in Bloomsbury to see what the hype was about.

I decided to be basic that day and went for the plain soufflé pancakes without fancy merchandise. My bliss was with just butter and maple syrup.

These pancakes are delicious! The consistency is so fluffy and airy that it could nearly be guilt-free. They’re not sickly sweet either which makes them a perfect brunch option for those who aren’t so keen on all things full of sugar.

I did opt for one of the cute in-house made Hello Kitty drinks. Mine was the strawberry milkshake and my friend got the lemonade.

Our drinks at Fuwa Fuwa café included these cuties – lemonade and the strawberry milkshake.

The café walls were filled with cute prints from Hello Kitty from the years. My favorite one was the minimal black and white one.

For the ultimate Asian foodie, there’s a matcha red bean version of the pancakes.

Overall verdict?

Fuwa Fuwa is a great hangout spot or for a first date during the weekends. It’s a great, cheerful pick-me-up with. The service was aslo great.  Have you visited Fua Fuwa before?

Muriel’s at South Kensington

Brunch Review: Muriel’s Kitchen, South Kensington

Looking for the perfect cozy brunch spot in West London? Muriel’s Kitchen is an airy-chic-inspired bistro, offering a versatile menu with affordable prices. Located just steps away from London’s South Kensington tube station.

The menu offers a variety of British brunch classics including scones, full English, eggs royale and pancakes.

Drinks include an amazing selection of various superfood lattes including matcha, charcoal, turmeric and rooibos!

The super cozy interior with bohemian-inspired elements makes your brunch experience at Muriel’s Kitchen more wholesome. Yes, the plants are real!

My SO went all the way with the full English. The traditional British breakfast with sausages, eggs, bread, hash browns, beans in tomato sauce and mushrooms.

MK’s Buddha Bowl features a salad-like concoction of quinoa, tomatoes, avocado, black quinoa, edamame beans and poached eggs. I ordered mine with a few strips of bacon, but this is originally available as a great vegetarian option.

Our drinks included a charcoal latte and a ’Vitamin Hug’ juice with Orange, apple, carrot, celery and ginger.

Charcoal latte with oat milk.

For dessert, we opted for the orange polenta cake. The cake was a perfect ending to our brunch as it wasn’t too sweet.

Overall verdict? 

Muriel’s is fairly affordable and great value for money, considering it’s located in one of London’s most prestigious postcodes. I personally loved the airy feeling of the sunlight and it’s a fun place for people-watching. Last but not least, the food is great quality and fresh.
