Alright alright, I admit that I’ve kinda been neglecting this place! But it’s not for no good reason. Fine, I probably shouldn’t be using this as an excuse but I’ve imposed a curfew on myself: no more than 1.5 hours of the internet a day. Haha, I know, sounds crazy right. Oh well!
Today I shall talk about ambience. For me, no food experience is complete without this seemingly irrelevant element. Nothing calms me down like a romantic, homely, cosy and serene eatery, and gets me in the mood for food. Of course, this should be accompanied by good company; someone who shares similar tastes and ideals about food as I do. Last but not least, friendly but not overly effusive service staff would be a strong pull factor for me to return next time.
I’ve found all this in Cottage Waffle Place! A really simple, humble small shop tucked away in an inconspicuous corner of level 3 of Suntec City. As you’d probably be able to tell, the place dishes out mainly waffles, “wafflewiches” to be exact. These are, simply put, something like sandwiches made with waffles instead of bread. An interesting and quite novel (to me at least) concept, don’t you think? Actually I’d expected the fillings to be similar to the kinds you’d find in sandwiches, say bacon or smoked salmon. But when I saw the menu I realised they’re mainly dessert style fillings, which, come to think of it, is actually a better idea since silly me realised bacon doesn’t exactly go with waffles. They do have ham and cheese as one of the flavours, though. It all depends on the specific type of filling, I guess (:
This is what she had. Chocolate fudge waffle with iced tea.
And my Honey Butter Waffle, apparently one of the favourites there.
The interesting thing about the waffles is that they seem to be a hybrid of the kind you buy from bakeries - you know, the pandan flavoured soft round ones which they fold in half and which you eat from a paper bag – and belgian waffles. When I say that I mean that it’s not too crunchy but it’s soft and chewy in a nice way. Haha. Quite crisp on the outside too. And notice that the edges look so interesting with their curvy shape..they look like cartoon clouds!
And and…this is what I meant by ambience.
Cottage-y, no? 
Complete with a fake fireplace!
OKAY MY CURFEW’S ALMOST UP AHH!
P.S. Sorry that the pictures are so dark, well it was quite dark at the place…
