Crispy Waffles

This noon, we went to a nearby food centre for our usual lunch.
We ate fish ball noodles (dried) served with soup, fish ball noodles is a common food in Singapore and surprisingly it should have become one of our uniquely Singapore Icon.We grew up eating lots of fish ball noodles during that time; this is the only noodles available everywhere in the food center.

While eating, someone place a laminated menu on our table. By the glance we would tell that it was serving western grill food. On the desserts, they serve waffles topped with ice cream or maple syrup. We thought it should be delicious and the price is reasonable.
We ordered banana split (three scopes of different flavors side with banana, top with chocolate cream and chopped peanuts, waffles with maple syrup.

The presentation of the food is nice, nothing fuzzy, what you see is what you get.The waffles smelled nice and taste very good. The ice cream taste is what you will usual get in the tub at the supermarket.

I tried one waffles recipe from the Internet and it is good.
This recipe can be used for making pancakes as well, as I have adapted the recipe.
