10 best waffles in Singapore

Belgian Waffles
$8.50 with one scoop, $2.50 per additional scoop of ice-cream 


In a town where new-fangled flavour combinations have become de rigueur, Creamier is proof that simple ice-cream on crisp dough can still
 emerge tops. Holding its own against
 the café’s limited edition scoops
 made daily in-house, each waffle
 offers the perfect contrast
 of outer crispiness and
 inner eggy, honeycombed
 gooeyness that remains 
so, even as its natural-
ingredient ice creams 
starts to melt on top of it.
 We recommend it with the 
rose-tinted raspberry love,
Thai iced tea, earl grey 
and perennial favourite of
 salted gula Melaka.

Earl Grey Caramel

$11.50

Using the café’s more popular salted caramel waffles as a template, café owner Daphne Goh and her team worked to incorporate the floral and citrus notes of earl grey tea in its salted caramel sauce. Lashed on in liberal amounts over the moist waffles with an enduring crisp with strawberries and New Zealand vanilla bean ice-cream, this elegant take on the hearty plate gets our seal of approval.

Croffle
$118 (Unlimited servings as part of its weekend brunch buffet)

Created in response to last year’s cronut craze, the Croffle goes into the iron as croissant dough and emerges a flaky, ridged pastry that’s then topped with a scoop of ice-cream, chocolate sauce, berries or even brownies. Served as one of the dessert options as part of the Mediterranean-inspired fare at The Waterfall’s Sunday brunch, this is one of the Shangri-La’s best kept secrets.

Squid Ink Waffle with Crispy Bacon
$18.90

Strangers’ Reunion’s new sister joint experiments with a few funky creations, none more so than this Frankenstein of a waffle – the charcoal-hued squid ink batter is crowned with a scoop of premium vanilla bean ice-cream, smoky-sweet bak kwa-like bacon marinated in dijon and maple and wafer-thin pistachio tuile. It’s a hodge-podge of flavours that divides opinion and is a novelty to eat, but you’ll need to muster up the courage to order it first.

Sundried Tomato & Herb Waffle
$16.50

Savoury waffles are all the rage now, and we probably have DOC to thank for pioneering the fad. They’ve got one savoury option among four other sweet waffle choices, but it’s the best one: the secret in their ever-crispy rendition is brown butter, which lends the tomato and tarragon-flecked waffle a nutty flavour. Creamy scrambled eggs and glistening, streaky bacon – drizzled with bacon jam and top grade maple syrup – complete the perfect picture.

Whoa-ffle with Pandan Ice-cream & Gula Melaka

$8.90


Bo Innovation-schooled chef-owner Yvette Chua uses only egg whites in her punny take on the classic dessert, which results in a light, pretzel-style waffle that’s extra crispy and suitably fluffy on the inside. Distinguishing itself from the three other sweet waffle plates at Hatter Street, the homemade pandan ice-cream and not-too-sweet gula Melaka syrup artfully drizzled on top is a wonderful balance of East and West.

Waffle
$16

Its name on the menu is simple, but the sweet combo on the plate is anything but. Blue, cran and raspberries, Nutella and peanut butter, ice-cream, whipped cream and maple syrup all converge
on Symmetry’s egg-rich waffles to keep them interesting – tailor your perfect formula of add-ins for a different bite each time the fork meets
your mouth.

The S'mores $14.90

This trendy newbie gives its selection of six waffles an edge over the competition with the addition of yeast. Given time to rise and bubble, Stateland’s special batter shines in the chocolate-addled S’mores rendition, which gives toppings of chocolate ice-cream, salty graham crackers and toasted marshmallows an ethereally light bed of crunch to pair with.
