Snowflake waffle with earl grey and hazelnut roche ice cream from Rabbit Owl Depot. Justifiably earns its stripes as one of the better-tasting and more memorable waffles around, which goes to show that a waffle – or indeed any food item – can look striking and dramatic (read: “instagrammable”) and yet…
Slow roasted chicken breast with bacon and maple cream on meringue waffle from Grin Affair. The waffles tasted very old school and neighbourhoody (in a good way), while the tender chicken probably had a good midday swim in a hotdog brine pool before arriving. Bacon and maple were rather calefare-esque.…
Earl grey and honeyscotch ice cream with waffle from Twenty Grammes. The waffle tasted like it had a good roll in the hay with a hotdog (!!) prior to arriving, and was crispy on the outside and soft and bready on the inside. The earl grey was irresistibly fragrant whilst…
“Foot-long” fried karaage chicken & waffles. The white Béchamel sauce reminded me of the vanilla cream in the middle of those long buns we used to get from neighbourhood bakeries, and it went well with the rather dry pancake-esque waffles.

Red velvet waffle with pandan kaya and lychee rose ice cream. The waffle had crispy edges but was a warm cross between sticky goo and bread on the inside, with an ever so faint bitterness. Whilst the lychee rose was fragrant, creamy and competent, I very much preferred the pandan…
Kyoho Grape Cream ice cream with waffle. The former tasted exactly like a creamy grape Yakult whilst the latter was mildly crispy on the outside and rather bread-like and tough on the inside, resisting the knifing with as much stubbornness as a gruff Encik from SISPEC. 3.3/5 Sunday Market 22…
Chendol and Pineapple Tart Ice Cream with Waffle. If I were a teacher and the two balls were my pupils, the gula melaka ice cream gets a solid B for its faithful (albeit slavish) re-creation of the real deal, pandan jelly noodles and atap chee inclusion and all. However, the…
Chocolate banana waffle – chocolate waffle, caramelized banana, vanilla bean ice cream, salted caramel sauce and nutella truffle powder. Essentially a chocolate pound cake (!) with vanilla ice cream and sweet, gooey goreng pisang. The shift from fluffy chiffon to dense cake felt like a Lionhead Rabbit transforming into a…
Truffle Jalapeño Mac & Cheese 2.0. The signature item from Montana Brew Bar isn’t about subtlety – it targets your senses with militant urgency. The truffle missiles towards your nostrils from fifty metres away, the cheese within the waffle stinkbombs your mouth, and the dip whips the tip of your…
