Vo-la-re, whoa-oh! Can-ta-re, whoa-oh-oh-oh!
Mom's gotten the song into my head, jeez. She couldn't stop singing it after coming here because of the uncanny (wait are there even any?) similarities to GELARE.
Gelare, the place most famed for its Tuesdays. Also known as Waffle Tuesdays, when you get all their waffles (even the special ones) half price! You are induced to drool once you step into the cafe, with pictures of its many yummy sundaes adorning the walls.
We came on a Friday afternoon, wanting to avoid the crazy lunch hour pandemonium happening at the upper east side of Orchard Road. Don't ever go there during these times, it's friggin' chaotic, having to look all over for a nice place to eat but finding out that everywhere just happens to be fully occupied to the brim. So Orchard Central it is. I don't understand why most locals do not patronise the place, it's a really swanky mall! Cool layout, vintage shops, toilets are high tech, food's aplenty. And oh yeah, did I mention robotoilets?
Okay, enough nonsense. Back to lunch.
BLT sandwich with foccacia bread. The little sister ordered this. What a surprise for us to hear the waiter say, 'yes, it's available'. A particular coffee outlet here in Penang, cough'rhymeswithtoffeebean'cough, would always make up some excuse for not being able to serve this. I mean, the first few times are acceptable, but not if it happens every single time?! Ish. So you can imagine how my sister felt when she had her first bite. Pure joy.
By the way, if you're wondering what the BLT stands for, it's Bacon, Lettuce & Tomato.
Mom and I shared the Grilled Chicken sandwich with multigrain bread. The bread tasted just as good as the one we order from Rainforest Bakery. Not bad, for a humble sandwich.
And then came the desserts. Swoon...
And more swooning...
BTW, it's a Cookie Craze Sundae. Perfect for the Oreo-Mcflurry lover little sister.
And although it wasn't even close to a Tuesday, we couldn't resist the lovely waffles.
Heaven on earth. Look, you can even see the clouds! - lame : \
Screw diets. Every bite of this crispy, sinful delight is definitely worth it.
