Crescent Waffle and Sandwich Shop

This is part two, a continuation from the Pasta and Co post.

What do we do after eating a yummy meal? 

Of course, we cap it off with some dessert. Life on a perpetual no-sugar no junk diet is extremely depressing and frankly unsustainable. 

The Crescent Waffle and Sandwich Shop is a cute little cafe on the first floor of Fortune Centre. It has about 5 tables or so, which seats about 10! The design of the shop is a cute white and brown minimalist style. 

The shop offers pandan waffles, sandwiches, pastries and cafe beverages.

(Pandan waffles are the kind of green waffles you see in Singapore neighbourhood bakeries. )

See the bag of coffee beans at the side of the counter? The shop uses beans from Cowspresso, which I happen to visit once while in the Lor Kilat estate. When our coffee was being prepared, I was excitedly telling the Mr. all about the espresso extracting process that I learned about the coffee workshop I told you guys about.

Ah, fresh coffee is always so aromatic - but to achieve such yummy goodness at home, an espresso machine is needed! And even such a 'small' one takes up quite a lot of counter space. So... off we go to the cafes to let the professionals handle it.

Here's a look at their pastries:

We didn't try these because we were here for the waffles. You can choose flavours such as chocolate, peanut butter, kaya, cheese, butter and blueberry  ($2.60) . But the one selling like hot cakes is:

The Black Sesame Pandan Waffle ($2.80) 

Everyone in the shop ordered this!

First bite:

The waffle is hot and served in a brown paper bag atop a plate. Seems rather strange but here are my guesses as to why:

• Maybe the less utensils used, the easier for the shop to manage?
• Ditto for takeaways.
• Or maybe this is to emulate the traditional pandan waffle packaging?
  
• Since the waffle is rather floppy and limp, it is easier for the diner to bite into.

The Crescent waffle is a floppy waffle with an inner consistency closer to mian jian kueh (traditional Chinese pancake) than a crispy Belgian waffle. There is just the slightest crisp on the outer layer too.
