Even if you're not vegan, the ice cream here is worth a try. Ranging from vanilla and chocolate to black sesame and pumpkin coconut, this dairy-free ice cream is light on the palate. Using brown rice milk, the ice cream is more gelato and sorbet-like. Here's to guilt-free indulgence!
At $12.90, this amazing Waffles Stacko is truly a steal. A great choice when you're in the town area, this simple cafe is great for indulging in ice cream and hot, crispy waffles. Perfect for students and groups of friends, get a nice big stack to share! If you're a small party, go for the Sinfully Chocolate or the Merry Berry. Photo by Rachelle Ling.
Creamier's long queues and licked-dry plates are testament to the truly addictive nature of their ice cream and waffles. Expect to queue even on a weeknight, but it's seriously worth it. Two perfectly crisp waffles stay firm below two scoops of dense ice cream. Go for the Salted Caramel Gula Melaka and the Roasted Pistachio. Photo by Geraldine Tay.
Known for its cheap and good Thai food (as they boast on their signboard), Jai Thai has become a favourite for many. Indecisive ones will be glad that they have a mixed platter of appetisers, comprising fishcakes, prawncakes, deep fried Thai spring rolls and deep fried beancurd. The Green Curry Chicken is aromatic and pleasantly lighter, so you can pair it with rice without feeling sick. Order the Steamed Tofu with Chicken Basil; the combination goes surprisingly well. If you're heading there for lunch, consider getting their set lunches that come with a main course, drink and dessert.
Enjoy all-day brunch fare, hearty mains and gorgeous desserts with your best friends amidst tranquility at this riverside cafe by Punggol Waterway. Whisk & Paddle offers unobstructed views of the resevoir with good food and drink to boot -- a much-needed respite at any time of day. For brunch, dig into comforting dishes like Eggs Ben with Smoked Salmon on Waffles, or a warm pan of Mac and Cheese. For a sweet treat, choose from their range of desserts in their display, and sit back with a cuppa to enjoy the view. If you can't decide, opt for the Berries Rose Tart, or the humble Earl Grey Lavender Loaf. By night, wind down and swop out the desserts and coffee for bar bites and ice cold beer!
Walking distance from Kovan MRT, Hatter Street has already won the hearts of many with their whimsical touch and delightful array of cakes, waffles and drinks. While they don't serve savoury food, this is just the spot to visit during tea time or after dinner (they're open till 10pm). If waffles are what you're after, go for the seasalt or pandan gula melaka Whoaffles ($8.90). A must-try dessert is their Smoked Sawdust Pudding ($5) -- a truly innovative dessert of whipped milk pudding and biscuit crumble with a plume of aromatic smoke trapped in a jar!
Constantly-packed Sunday Folks gives all an indication of just how popular their waffles and soft serve ice cream have become. Creamier's signature square waffles are now topped with a swirl of soft serve that comes in their most popular flavours -- Earl Grey Lavender, Sea Salt Gula Melaka and Roasted Pistachio. You can also choose to enjoy your soft serve swirl in a handmade cone, and choose from an assortment of toppings like matcha nama chocolate, Japanese mochi and fresh fruit. Be sure to complete you experience with a hot cuppa. Tip: you want to have your camera ready before your waffles/ cones are served!
