One of my favorite foods is scallion pancakes, especially those at Mandarette Cafe. I have also tried the scallion pancakes from Joan's on Third, but they lack the delicious contrast that comes with Mandarette's signature plum sauce. The sauce is barely spicy, barely any kick, but its subtle delicious flavor is a perfect pair to the comparatively bland pancakes. The pancakes themselves are not light and fluffy like those at IHOP, but dense and chewy. They are lightly flavored with the scallions cooked inside of them so that there are no conflicting flavors with the plum sauce. They are a general favorite due to their mild flavor, without the sauce, that appeals to those with the most sensitive of taste buds.
