Mochi waffles aren’t available in many local dessert parlours. I’ve only heard of a handful of places that serve them up, and The Flourist (located minutes away from Temasek Poly) joins that list with their Charcoal Mochi Waffles.

The bread isn’t as elastic as other renditions I’ve tried, and when I tried it, I feel that it was confused between being chewy and being just slightly soggy. It is sweeter in flavour than I’d expected too, but thankfully not to the point where it teeters between sweet and saccharine.

Above all though, the Miso Butterscotch gelato emerged as the highlight - the salty, umami nature of the Japanese seasoning plus the caramelised flavours of the hearty butterscotch is almost guaranteed to leave your throat feeling a little chafed. But that doesn’t make the combination any less of a knockout. In addition to that, both my parents loved this more than the flavours they picked hahaha. (7.4/10)
