He’s the lone Jamaican amongst an Italian mob. Honey sweet, soaked in caramel and a little bit nutty.

If pancakes had personality, this one would be king of Moomba, CEO at Mushroom, or headlining guest on Denton.

Tiamo 2’s Jamaican pancake is one multi-faceted snack/dessert/breakfast treat. Don’t be fooled by its less than lovely appearance, this is love at first bite.

Even the staff salivate over the layered raisins, walnuts, almonds and fresh banana, enveloped in soft dough and drizzled with caramel sauce. And a side serve of creamy vanilla ice cream makes this baby the ultimate indulgence.

To be honest, we’re not really sure if it’s even Jamaican, but it’s so good we don’t really care.
