Waffles

Black charcoal waffle + salted egg yolk ice cream = match made in heaven! Haha! The waffles remained really very crispy throughout the long "photo taking session", and the salted egg yolk ice cream is just so good and distinctive, infusing with curry leaves that add accents and not overpowering to the palate. I foresee myself coming back here very often since it is just 5 mins walk from my house. 😁😁😁

Waffles are crispy but the interior was rather dense and cakey. The Speculoos flavor tasted like the usual buttery cookie taste which we are familiar with, and the Baileys Milo flavor seems doesn't complement well with each other. Gelato texture was pretty good and dense but it was a tad too sweet. Simple and nothing fanciful about this, but good enough to satisfy our dessert craving after a great lunch at Ginza Tendon Itsuki.

But sadly it doesn't impress anyone of us. The waffle texture is way too dry and is lacking the crispiness on the outer, which is so different from the first time I had their waffles few months back. The salted egg sauce seems very GAO but the texture is sooooo rough. Not the typical kind of smooth creamy buttery salted egg sauce. It just isn't up to expectation.

"NOW-HERE" at the new branch of Coffee:NowHere, serving not just specialty coffee and food but it also sells specialty coffee beans too.

Tried their freshly baked waffles that were drizzled with chocolate sauce, topped with strawberries and a single scoop of gelato of your choice. The waffle had a soft chewy bite and it was not overly sweet. I personally still prefer the crispier kind but it was pretty decent. Definitely will drop by again when I need to satisfy my waffle craving with a cup of good coffee, which is only directly just opposite where I'm staying. 😁😁😁

Love the crunchiness of the almond nuts that was added to it but somehow just felt that the sourish strawberries didn't really complemented well with the waffle.

Sadly they do not make this flavor anymore!

Anyway I'm still enjoying my mid-afternoon with their interpretation of the Italian classic Tiramisu. Waffles is freshly made on the spot and cut into bite sized chunks which makes it more convenient to eat on the go. Lightly crisp on the outside with a soft chewy texture, topped with homemade tiramisu cream and chocolate shavings. I love it but I think if there's coffee liquor in it may enhance the flavor even better!

The waffles had a great crisp on the outside but tasted very, very eggy! Couldn't taste much of their homemade honey butter sauce that came with it too. And how often have you seen a chocolate ice cream with a dull, murky appearance reminiscent of mud and the chocolate taste was so artificial. Terribly wrong!

They have flavors such as chocolate chip, original vanilla and a monthly special!

We had the monthly special eggettes with a soft sponge-cake like texture on the inside and a crisp shell on the outside, with chunks of bak kwa in it. Topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, bak kwa bits and pork floss all over. It will be even better if there's more bak kwa bits all over to enhance the savoury taste, however the savoury-sweet flavour is absolutely indulgent, and the contrast between the soft and the crisp textures is enlightening. Is definitely an interesting twist to the usual waffle with ice cream.

My tummy is happy and satisfied now! 😋😋😋

Butterscotch Popcorn Waffles ($14) - Extremely photogenic plate of crispy buttermilk waffles topped with popcorn, bananas, crushed nuts with a scoop of artisanal vanilla bean ice cream. Instead of using the usual salted caramel sauce, generous portion of homemade butterscotch sauce was drizzled over it. Love how the salty popcorn works in this dish and it is simply a perfect marriage of salty and sweet!

How about relaxing in the summer with some gelato in this 2 weeks old "Brighton Beach" inspired new ice cream shack?

2 double premium scoops with waffles ($13) - Love the richness and the creamy texture of their handcrafted gelato. Pistachio flavor had a very rich pistachio taste which I loved the most and the lychee rose flavor was pretty refreshing. It goes perfectly well with their homemade crisp and airy Belgian waffles. Perfect for a hot summer like this! Now Ice Cream Shack is having a weekday lunch promotion from 11.30am to 2.30pm for their 2 classic scoops with Belgian waffles at only $9.90! (Additional $0.80 for each premium flavor). I'm sure you will still have room for dessert after your lunch! 😏😏😏

Waffles with Durian gelato (SGD $10) - Unlike the usual waffles, their batter is made of egg white meringue, soy milk and a pinch of salt. Their meringue waffle is soft with a slight crispiness on the exterior. Durian gelato was good and smooth that complemented the waffles well, with almond slices & peanut brittle added to give a crunchy texture but toffee sauce can be a little bit more.
