Have you been to Westgate? Probably yes, just like the rest of West Singapore. Assuming you are as blur as I am, you might have missed out B2 of Westgate. It's a whole yummy world that I've not discovered for the past 5 times I've been to this shopping mall. While it looks like JCube's B1, the choices at Westgate are much more exciting. One of them is Griddy Gourmet Waffles. Its menu is entirely waffle-inspired, but be rest assured that you won't just be chomping down waffles. The menu is neatly
Have you been to Westgate? Probably yes, just like the rest of West Singapore. Assuming you are as blur as I am, you might have missed out B2 of Westgate. It's a whole yummy world that I've not discovered for the past 5 times I've been to this shopping mall. While it looks like JCube's B1, the choices at Westgate are much more exciting. One of them is Griddy Gourmet Waffles. Its menu is entirely waffle-inspired, but be rest assured that you won't just be chomping down waffles. The menu is neatly categorized into 5: Griddy Sandwiches, Griddy Plates, Griddy Fingers, Griddy Up and Griddy Desserts. Here are my picks for the Griddy Sandwiches!
Stuffed generously with beef patty, mushrooms and savoury sauces, the signature Gourmet Ribs waffles is quite an innovative and delicious creation. The waffle exterior tasted more like burger bread, and not like the usual pandan-flavoured waffles you find at neighbourhood confectioneries. The one that truly caught my attention was the waffle fries, which came along with the burger. Initially I didn't think much about it because I don't like fried food, but it is really crispy, expertly salted to the right amount and tasty!
If I could choose, I'd prefer this Aloha Hawaiian to the Gourmet Ribs. The teriyaki sauce drizzled within is more sweet than savoury. The chicken is succulent to every bite, though I wished it could be more tender.
Next, we also tried the Griddy Up Set of a Classic Waffle + Drink! Not sure why they are using Pho Street's packaging... but the drink they had was Sjora orange juice, straight from the carton. I would say that this isn't a memorable dish, and they could do more to make it more exciting - perhaps add fruits, chocolate or other toppings. It's good to fill your stomach as a snack, I guess.
From the Griddy Desserts section, my selection is S'mores Griddy! Looks sinful? Well, wait till you eat it... trust me, it's worth every calorie! I felt like leaping into marshmallow icy mountains with chocolate snow caps. It's great that the waffles are slightly warmed but yet the ice-cream melted quite slowly.
I'm a closet fatty, I eat a lot and can't stop if there's food in front of me (very bad for health though). These Onion Rings are freshly deep fried and they are really tasty because (1) they are piping hot, (2) definitely did not reuse the cooking oil (3) super fragrant and golden-brown crunchy/crispy! It's rare that I'll ever praise fried food - because it's hard to get it right, but Griddy definitely nailed it.My recommendation for Griddy Gourmet Waffles would be for its desserts and sides which I really enjoyed and found to be better than the average dining experience. You can head over if you're still feeling hungry after your main course elsewhere or a place to relax your legs after shopping.
