Waffling over where to wander for waffles? Here are two possibilities.
First up, Wafflemeister, the first Malaysian outpost of a London-based business that specializes in handmade Liege waffles.
I waffle, therefore I am? Sounds exactly like us!
Wafflemeister's offerings are OK, supplying a reasonably rich chew, though punishingly priced. Simple to spend north of RM30 per person on a waffle & a beverage.
The counter-argument might be that the ingredients here fall under the 'premium' label, with Belgian choc fudge, Italian-style gelato & fresh whipped cream (lots of it!) used for both waffles & milkshakes.
For less extravagant occasions, check out another newbie, Coffee Etc at Oasis Ara Damansara.
No monkeying around here; Coffee Etc's team is eager to please.
So it's a toss-up: The Belgian waffles here won't cost much more than RM10.90 per serving, but the vanilla ice cream & blueberry jam toppings are significantly humbler. The waffles themselves are nonetheless pleasant, with a warm crisp to them.
Coffee Etc's coffee? No real complaints; works fine to curb caffeine cravings.
P.S. Sean's away Nov. 7-14 in a mystery location 8,765 kilometers from KL where Maxis charges an unconscionable RM48 for 20MB of data roaming. Daily blog entries have been scheduled in advance & will be automatically posted, but apologies as comments can only be replied far later.
