Pistachio & Butterscotch Ice Cream atop a Charcoal Waffle drizzled with Salted Egg Yolk sauce 💕
As much as I loved the innovativeness of this $15.40 dessert, I didn't quite like the lavender bits that was on the syrup around the waffle as it was too strong 😕
I hated the Pistachio Ice Cream though, 'cos it tasted like I was having hamsters for tea break 😖
As my list of waffles get longer, I really wonder if they have become my substitute for breakfast and lunch. Along the stretch of Wimbly Lu is Rokeby, a quaint café with excellent service. Instead of the usual Egg Benedict for lunch, I opted for their Fruits & Nutella Waffles - something I'd gladly indulge in. For $11.90, you get strawberries, blueberries and bananas on top of Nutella, with icing sugar coated waffles. I loved how crispy yet fluffy the waffles were, and I loved the presentation even more. This waffles are definitely a must try - kudos to the chef for making such delicious waffles!
Finally got to try the waffles at Grin Affair that my friend was talking about! I'm not a fan of ice cream (cue the dramatic "what do you mean you don't like ice cream?"), but sometimes, exceptions are made, especially with the horrendously erratic weather. Served with a Cookies & Creme gelato, this $9 waffle came with the shop's little snacks that can be found sold in jars. The matcha flavored snack was not my favorite, however the chocolate flavored snack was not bad! It's albeit hard to cut through and will send your snack flying (trust me). Other than that, the waffles were made of soy meringue and were definitely different from the others I've tried. It's a little fluffy, and a little crispy on the outside. The best part of this dish? The Cookies & Creme!
Located at POMO, Montana Brew Bar plays with waffles the unusual way. With flavors such as matcha and cinnamon apple, the truffle lover in me chose the Truffle Jalapeño Mac & Cheese ($12.50) with a fluffy soufflé base. The waffle was delicious, with an interesting take. Savory, this waffle comes with a Jalapeño dip that is not spicy. With the waffle cut into quarters, the portion may seem small but do not underestimate it - it will fill your stomach to the brim. Do bring along a friend and share a waffle as it could be too filling for a person to have one alone! If you're looking to take gorgeous Instagram photos, here's a tip - sit near the middle, behind the wall with utensils, as having the black background can make your food pop!
