[MACPHERSON, SINGAPORE] Finally tried Garden Pastry's extremely popular waffles and is it worth the hype?? Unfortunately, I don't think so 🤣

Their waffle was firstly a whooping 55 minutes wait, which honestly was quite shocking for a neighbourhood bakery. After the long wait, the waffles indeed tasted decent but definitely not worth the long wait 🥲 The default texture for the waffles was soft, not crispy, but chewy with a kueh like texture. It definitely had a fragrant Pandan flavour which complemented well with their peanut butter. They did give quite a generous slap of it too!

I wouldn't recommend going all the way for this waffle, but if there isn't a queue and you happen to be there, then sure it can be one of your snack options. Sad I couldn't try their taro swiss roll that day as well!

($2.60) I decided to explore deeper into paya lebar area (geylang east ctrl) for waffles with my sister. I noticed a lot of bakery (around 3 to 4 shops) selling waffles also along the way from bus stop at geylang east ctrl to aljunied ave 2) but then I preferred OG bakery over newly opened bakery lol at there. So it took us around 15 to 30 mins to walk in for waffles lol. You need to pay for waffles at cashier before waiting waffles for at least 45 mins to 1 hr to be ready. The taste for waffles was quite savoury tbh but the filling was just nice (not that little or too much) and also a bit sticky bc of caramel :")

($3.20)

($4.20) hmmm I decided to get cake roll for chocolate since there's a variety of cake roll and ring that they selling for. But the cake taste like in between bitter & sweet and need to pair with black tea.

($4.20) it's best selling flavour for cake on the fridge. hmmm the cream changed from purple to white colour and also don't have deco on top of the cake? as I saw some of food website post the cake lol. even their yam filling inside the cake got less :") but then yam filling is thick and also smooth texture. But the cake taste quite mild sweet and also I kinda disappointed by the cake deco :")

Taro Bun from Garden Pastry & Cake 嘉頓!

Trying another taro item this time. Instead of the usual yam bun, this has a crispy swirl around the top (abit like the taro mooncake kind, but less crispy)

Orh Nee paste given for bread was also quite substantial.
