Meidi-ya Supermarket,
Unit B1-50
There are about 7 Haato & Co outlets in Singapore, but the one which we saw most of would be the one at Central in Clarke Quay. Located at the first level and making use of its high visibility on street level to provide alfresco dining, it was a cool chill-out corner with limited seating. The black-white minimalist design of the cafe did its magic to draw onlookers and subsequently customers to check out the tubs of sweet relief on display below frosted windows.
After our meal at Ramen Santouka, we initially planned for desserts at the Central outlet but were too full, so we took a leisurely walk to Liang Court. That impromptu visit revealed a find. There was Haato & Co there too, albeit at a cheaper price! Same outlet design, same offerings, but about $2 cheaper. Being typical Singaporeans, we excitedly ordered the Summerberries Waffles that come topped with Lychee sorbet (changeable upon request), power berries (strawberries & blueberries), almond flakes and strawberry jam.
The first bite was a huge one, and the coolness of the refreshing sorbet contrasted just nicely against the warm waffles. Not cloyingly sweet, which was good, but it wasn't as fluffy as I wanted it to be. I think I would have preferred those from Gelare better.
I still like how the waffle was presented though! Perhaps it is just me but I love waffles and I don't rule out going there again for a revisit(:

These waffle is extremely appealing to the senses of sight and smell. That golden brown centrepiece, topped off with sorbet and generous serving of fruits, jam and almond flakes, who could resist taking a bite? When it arrived, that heavenly aroma of fresh waffle-goodness tantalised my tastebuds and made my stomach growl. so what if I just had lunch?The first bite was a huge one, and the coolness of the refreshing sorbet contrasted just nicely against the warm waffles.

The waffles was alright. But there is nothing that really jumps out here. I'm starting to find it really hard to discover a place that serves waffles like those found at A&Ws years ago. Just maple syrup and butter. And of course, nice light and fluffy waffles. Good ol' times those. The waffles found here reminded me of those $1.20 Prima Deli waffles. Just thicker in size. The edges here are slightly burnt and they did not do a clean job of scraping off the excess bits. However, the Lychee sorbet was pretty impressive. Not too heaty and really refreshing. There was also a generous serving of blueberries and strawberries. And a healthy sprinkle of those almonds. Yum. Quality of waffles aside, at a price of $7.50, I guess I can't complain that much. If I EVER do go back to this place, I shall try the Banana Chocolate waffle reasonably priced at $7.50.Grade:B
Total bill was $7.50 (incl. GST. No Scv Charge)]
