\nThere\u2019s a new addition to the lineup of quality vendors in the mini-mall at 135-15 40th Road in Flushing. Keeping company with the likes of local luminaries Legend Chicken, Yi Fang Taiwan Fruit Tea, and the Flushing Ice Cream Factory, Eggcellent Souffl\u00e9 Pancake opened on August 4 and their souffl\u00e9 pancakes are outstanding. Possibly the lightest yet richest dessert in the neighborhood, they\u2019re fluffy, spongy, custardy, foamy, eggy, bouncy, moist, creamy and sweet. (I think that pretty much covers it.) The flavor list compels me to return for multiple visits: Original (with a kiss of maple cream), Cr\u00e8me Br\u00fbl\u00e9e, Strawberry\/Blueberry Yogurt Cream, Red Bean\/Matcha Cream, Mango Yogurt Cream, and Chocolate\/Banana\/Caramel (with marshmallows, yet). With roots in Japan and Taiwan, these puppies are prepared from scratch (like apparently everything in that mini-mall if the immeasurably long lines are any indication, grumble, grumble) and you\u2019ll be advised that there will be a significant wait.<\/p>\n

\nMine went well beyond \u201csignificant\u201d but I was the first customer of the day and those souffl\u00e9 pans (see photo) must be heated to a precise temperature (she used an LED equipped digital surface thermometer) before the airy batter can be plopped down without deflating, lightly cooked on one side, carefully flipped \u00e0 point, transferred to a serving dish and dressed.<\/p>\n

\nBut it\u2019s absolutely worth the wait. We\u2019re talking about a real souffl\u00e9 pancake, not some ersatz premade doppelganger, and a delicious one at that. I tried to smoosh it a little for this photo you so you could see what I was getting at with that parade of adjectives earlier. Artwork against the back wall captioned \u201cSouffl\u00e9 from the Sky\u201d depicts the dessert floating heavenward on a lacy doily. Trust me. It fits.

Kinda taking a chance with reviewers in choosing a name like Eggcellent. Fortunately, it lives up to the appellation. Read on….
