My first savoury waffle ever and definitely will not be my last.

Their sea salt caramel and bacon waffle is a pretty picture. Just from the plating alone made me drool, coupled with the fragrant buttermilk aroma of the waffles and bright scarlet red strawberries.

I was never a fan of salted caramel because I felt that the saccharinity of the caramel just does not work out for me. However, i decided to take a leap of faith and try it out. It came with a scoop of vanilla ice cream drizzled with the titular sauce.

Vanilla ice cream: i sampled this first, and was pleasantly surprised. The vanilla smooth and creamily dulcet, was rich and slid down my throat sinfully. Pair that with the salted caramel sauce and a good balance between sweet and salty is achieved.

Bacon: The bacon slices possessed a slightly charred and fragrant aroma, salty in the right places and amount. It was also crispy at the edges, provided reasonable crunch to the entire dish.

Strawberries: Surprisingly sweet unlike many other places serving fresh strawberries. Mine was served cold and fresh, possessing a subtle tartness which provided good balance between the waffle and ice cream to a great extent.

Waffle: Very impressed with the crispiness of the waffle. Ultra crispy I must say, producing a resonant crunch sound when knived into. The insides were not as fluffy as expected, which let me down just a little because I love that extra fluff in my waffle. Light body overall which left me satisfied and satiated, not overly bloated.

Overall a surprisingly wonderful experience. Portions were just nice for me alone, but thats just because I have a ravenous appetite. Will be back for their famous Peanut Butter and Jelly French Toast.
