Buttermilk waffle with mixed berries compote and vanilla ice cream from Atlas Coffeehouse. Whilst the mixed berries compote scythes at you with the seductively tarty vengeance of a most coquettish minx, the usually reliable waffle, though internally still proficient, had the wizened, sun-weathered skin of a Punggol-living septuagenarian. 3.5/5 Atlas…
Salted Egg Chicken Waffle from Ivory Coffee. The soft-hearted waffle deserves care and sympathy for mean girl project mates saying his ideas are half-baked. Elsewhere, the batter and skin-heavy salted egg chicken is mildly engrossing, with the sauce – potentially justifying a chargeable spinoff concept – helping to make the…
Horffles from Les Patisseries – 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream, Horlicks powder, Horlicks sauce, toasted candied almond, fresh berries. Whilst the slightly sour waffle had a gentle crisp and the nuts certainly were welcome guests, the late-blooming vanilla ice cream only revealed its tuition teacher-encouraged potential late in the…

The dusky earl grey beauty vanishes into the night as mysteriously as she appeared, whilst elsewhere the waffle maintains a light crisp on the outside while having a buttery 3-ply softness on the inside. 4/5…

Thai Milk Tea & Earl Grey Waffle from Les Patisseries. The earl grey waffle confidently lived up to its titular promise, but it quickly ceded attention to the Thai Milk Tea ice cream, which had more flag-waving rahrahness than VJC students during inter-school water polo matches. Elsewhere, the macaron stared…
Espresso Kahlua Waffle from 20F Specialty Coffeehouse – espresso kahlua sauce, dark chocolate sorbet, vanilla ice cream, streusel, pistachio, buttermilk waffle. The waffle had the buttery and salty charisma of a socially fluid scone, whilst elsewhere the dark chocolate sorbet looked broodingly into the distance donning his aviator shades and…
Duck & Waffle from 20F Specialty Coffeehouse – duck confit, buttermilk waffle, strawberry compote, mixed berries sorbet. Fairly intriguing – when all components come together in one mouthful (and you should definitely try it once with the fatty duck skin included) you get tender duck meat and a buttery, slightly…
Nonya Chendol Waffle from Shrove Tuesday – azuki red beans, green jello and Nonya chendol gelato. The glazed and slightly sour waffle felt like a paean to slightly burnt toast, being crispy to the point of knife strikes plate with a clang, whilst elsewhere the rich gelato was expertly conservative…
