Originating in Scandinavia to mark the Feast of the Annunciation, waffles were concurrently eaten as a tradition. The Swedish called it Vårfrudagen, which eventually translated to Waffle Day if you said it fast enough. And so, World Waffle Day was born, and eventually caught on internationally. In celebration of World Waffle Day, we’ve curated a list of the best waffles in Singapore!

If you’d like, you can also have your Charcoal Waffle with salted egg yolk sauce ($7.50).
Also on the waffle menu is its Brown Butter Waffle ($5.50), a buttery and light option with drizzled chocolate sauce for extra flavour. You can also add-on a scoop of gelato(at $4.5 per scoop) if you’re craving ice-cream waffles!
