The verdict
GreatJason finds a rare souffle pancake under RM10 that is soft, bouncy and properly kembang, rating the flavors 8.4 and 8.8. Worth a try even from PJ or Shah Alam, though the Gombak traffic makes it a bit of a wordy trip.

Have you ever tried a souffle that costs less than 10 ringgit? Short name is straightforward but what does the tagline mean? Kenapa souffle? Souffle pancake, price range 15 or 20 plus lah. Souffle pancake is more like straight version. That's why the price for one portion only 7 ringgit. But the ingredients, quality, how much? Ingredients, it's the same. It's the same with KFB. It's in a food court called Rare or Rare, with a landscape view of Batu Kei. Lots of seeds but we chose the canopy on top. The souffle has tiramisu dip and almond topping. Original flavor. I think you for sure can require, but from what I see there's no option of like zero topping. Really like the base of the souffle, it is very toin-toin, very soft. You know it's like those Japanese cheese kids, those that you get at Family Mart where it's extra moist. I do think it might be better without the toppings because maybe I don't like 6-6 in my mind. It's not like the topping is bad. The topping is good. And the souffle kembang properly, it didn't flatten because the price is so low compared to other souffles. And the taste is good 8.4. The second souffle is chocolate milk dip with dark chocolate topping. And you know why you like it? The dark chocolate balances out the sweetness. Very soft and bouncy. If you're not a fan of sweet but you like chocolate, definitely recommend getting the milk chocolate combined with the dark chocolate topping. I don't know how you Gombakians are able to go through all the jam every day in Gombak man. I think if you're coming all the way from PJ or Shaq lah, you'll want to try this. You'll cry. But after you try it, you feel okay. It's kind of a wordy trip. Then you cry on the way home. Not the most amazing souffle your taste but it is good. 8.8. Wow that's very hot! Why? Pancake dulu baru kamu. Oh my god, if you were to choose either your partner or pancake, pancake can give you comfort lah. Your partner not always lah.
