Waffle is fluffy & moist inside, crispy outside; dust with sugar, topped with fresh strawberries, blueberries & berry compote; opted for blue pea lavender ice cream which has strong floral taste, not overly sweet; good sweet ending dish for sharing..

Brussels sprouts are fried & tossed with mixed curry spices; tad salty, tastes nothing special..

Beef is well-braised to tender with no gamey taste; sauce is tangy, rich & flavorful, not spicy; with tomatoes, kidney beans, burnt capsicums & red cheddar cheese; opted for sourdough which is soft; a well-executed dish worth a try..

Al-dente pasta tossed in rich cream sauce with strong truffle taste & aroma, yet not surfeiting; with a medley of crunchy mushroom; 1 of the better truffle mushroom that I've tried..

Buns are soft & fluffy; meat is tender, succulent & well-marinated; housemade green sambal is flavorful & aids in reducing the greasiness; fries are crispy & lightly salted, not oily; not a fan of fried chicken burger but this is quite well-executed..

I think it's really nice chocolaty and chewy. And its gluten free free so it's pretty good. I am not on a gluten free diet so I can't make comparisons with other baked good. But it think this brownie does taste quite nice. Although i must admit it's rather expensive at 7plus considering its size.

Berry Sure - $14.80

Back to homely Wimbly Lu. Wanted to try their waffle, and berry version is definitely my pick. Crispy waffle that’s topped with sliced strawberries, blueberries and berry compote. Love the sweet sour flavours. You get a scoop of ice cream too, double the love. Share the waffles with family and friends, share the sweets

Nutella Tart - $8.50

Revisiting Wimbly Lu and this time for their Nutella tart. This chocolate tart is made with gao gao Nutella chocolate. Every mouthful is a punch of Nutella. Chocolate lover will definitely enjoy. Flush it down with a glass of ice shaken lemon tea ($5.80) for the shiokness

At $18.80 it's average. It does taste garlicky and comes with a decent amount of tobiko topping with sakura. It doesn't taste bad and reminds me alot of a fried garlic noodle dish. I just think it can be done at home too when you buy the tobiko and sakura topping. That said, it's a nice cooked food option to have before digging into the dessert at this place.

Aiyoh omg did I catch them on such a bad day. The bun isnt warm at all and yet the top part seems abit burn. I think they tried to it quickly. But I don understand why because the cafe is so empty today just 1 lady customer and me. What the heck. Plus the fries portions is slightly smaller today. If this happens a 2nd time I will not order this dish again. I am not a cook I have not idea whose fault is it. But this is no excuse for such a badly done dish on such an quite weekday. I am so disappointed and angry.

super lovely place with great service! sadly, we only had their desserts…🥲

Going 🍌 ($14)
going bananas will probably be one of my favourite desserts at this cafe! warm waffles that was served with our choice of ice cream (decided to try the hazelnut praline), walnuts, caramelised bananas and maple syrup! literally the best combination ever, ice cream and waffles can never go wrong☺️

Nutella Pie🍫🥧 ($8.50)
chocolate was super rich and creamy, went well with the tart. could have been better if it’s chilled a bit more~

There is a slight root beer taste. Reminds me more of a chocolate lava cake. The cake seems to have its fans.A few of us love it. Some found it tasting like a normal chocolate cake. I guess you gotta try to find out.

Among their new range of cakes. This one is slightly better. It's not the best. But the earl grey is distinct and rich. Inside, you will find some crispy chocolate layer.You can also find a layer of blue berry jelly inside but it not too strong in taste and doesn't add much to the overall taste. But it really help that they added a large number of fresh blueberries on top and make it pretty yummy to pair with the rich earl grey dense cream.

Not my cup of tea. At first taste, the outer layer is a thin piece of cake which doesn't add much to the taste and bland. As I dig inside I do taste the cheesecake cream inside but at this price, I think it's just average. I prefer the taste of their earlier range of chocolate cheesecake which is since and a yummy version rivaling the cat and fiddle. This one just tastes plain and average. Sorry Wimbly

This cake also gave me mixed feelings after they revamped their range of dessert. I do like the contrast of the raspberry layer between the dark chocolate. But I was let down by the dense dry layer
of cake. It's not a good thing considering the fact that their desserts are not cheap. I might try it again to confirm whether this dessert is a flop. Maybe it's a one off that the cake layer is dry and old. But it does seem kinda short changing your customer.

This is their new lemon meringue pie after they have revamped their desserts. I am having mixed feelings about this. While love the addition of the bits of candied lemons on top, I prefer the original pie with a simple layer of lemon tart curd and torched meringue topping. This new pie doesn't have it. Plus some parts of the topping seems sweeter. I am not too thrill about it.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you Wimbly Lu's latest version of hot chocolate. I love it. It's not creamy and chocolatey and not like a chocolate sauce. Do take note that is pretty indulgent. Look at that mountain of whipped cream. But that's what make hot chocolate so yummy. I guess it's more rounds at the gym for me.😋

Strong, aromatic, smooth white coffee.

Definitely worth trying and will be back for more.

I highly recommend the tau yew bak sandwich. The crab roll was meh for the price and taste.

#teamcarbs 🎉🎉🎉 Love that this rendition of M&C had the right amount of cheesiness to it, accompanied by subtle hints of truffle. Wasn't jelat at all👌
