The Better Scoop offers a creative twist with their nian gao waffles. For an additional $0.80, I opted for the nian gao waffle paired with a single scoop of osmanthus oolong, finished with maple syrup and chocolate sauce. Each waffle comes with four squares of chewy, lightly sweet nian gao that contrast beautifully with the crisp waffle base. While there’s no option to sample flavours beforehand, I was pleased that the osmanthus oolong was not overly sweet, striking a nice balance with the distinct floral notes of osmanthus.
