Dine in Date: 3rd December 2014

Located on the top of level 3 Mid Valley Area which is partially-completed renovating, you can find Madame Waffle on the left side when you take the new elevator up which you will pass by from GSC Cinema to the center court or the other way round.

Madame Waffle is a small corner shop that specialize in waffle (duh~) and some special coffee & tea. I got a small menu around the counter that shows the available waffle selection and their list of coffee & tea. So here's the Waffle~ Honestly... not so appetizing comparing with the illustration-purpose-only picture. The size is small, so it's suitable if you just had a light meal and looking for a place for some sweet dessert other than donuts. (Apologize for the picture quality. Lacking of light here.)

Despite the small portion, the taste and texture is great. The one above is Cinnamon on the left and honey on the right. Cinnamon waffle is topped with some cinnamon sugar but you don't feel like biting on large pieces of sugar while having it. Honey Waffle is well glazed, and perfect for honey-lover. Both of the waffle is really soft and crunchy, as long as you take it right after you get served.

From the menu, they have the following waffle selection:

• Original - Vanilla infused waffle with pearl sugar
• Matcha - Japanese green tea infused waffle
• Chocolate - Belgian dark chocolate topping
• White Chocolate - Belgian milk & white chocolate topping
• Honey - Pure honey glazed waffle
• Cinnamon - Cinnamon sugar toppings
• Coffee - Coffee espresso infused waffle

For the selection above, you can request for a small plastic bag if you want to take away. They also have food only available for dine in which include gelato. That's something I'm gonna try next time when I'm looking for a place for dessert. Here is a wide range of coffee & tea for you to choose. They have the common espresso, cappucino, and green tea, and also some special drinks like rose latte, matcha strawberry latte, hot belgian chocolate, lemon ginger mint, and earl grey lavender. So much of attracting drinks that make me feel like trying soon~

Here is the price for the waffles:
- RM5.90: Original
- RM6.50: Matcha, Honey, Cinnamon
- RM6.90: Chocolate, White Chocolate, Coffee
If you order a waffle with a coffee or tea, it can costs up to RM16 to RM20. But I hope that the combination of the waffle with the coffee or tea would be a good one that worth the price on my next visit.

Dine in Date: 12th July 2015

The brand new Madame Waffle is now open in 1 Utama! It was my luck that I happen to found Madame Waffle open at a time when I'm looking for a place with some snacks and nice cup of coffee to rest my weary leg after so much of walking.

Honestly, I'm more than just wanted to chew on some light snacks and I don't want to order few pieces of waffle, so I decided to try on their Madame Signature (RM17) First of all, appearance win. Look extremely delicious and make me drool. It’s the position of the vanilla ice cream, waffle with red bean on top, and matcha ice cream that create the feeling that they are meant to make a good taste out from it. Tiny slices of strawberry unexpectedly make this waffle much more appealing. Sprinkle some green tea powder at the side make it looks quite artistic and grand.

It's a little strategic to figure out how should I taste on this so I start by tasting each of the component I can find on the plate.

First is the red bean. Taste sweet but not too over, it’s a great and sweet little dessert during the time when you need to get warm.

Second is the vanilla ice cream in which I thought it’s vanilla ice cream but actually it’s just whipped cream. It’s some whipped cream that added a bit of flavoring and taste a little sweet.

Next is the matcha (green tea) ice cream (this time it's really ice cream) that taste not really bitter. If you don’t like the original green tea ice cream without sugar, which can be quite bitter, you probably like this. Although it won’t taste that sweet, green tea supposed to taste slightly bitter anyway.

Last thing before I chew them together is to taste the waffle. This is the first time I take a matcha waffle. Just like the ice cream, the green tea flavour is not that strong. The waffle is just the same type of crunchy feeling like the original one.

Finally, I attempted different type of combination for each component in the plate and here is what I think:

• Matcha ice cream + waffle – The ice cream soften the waffle a little, but not too much so you can still taste the crunchy feeling in the waffle while the ice cream make the matcha feeling stronger. Plus it’s a little cold so it’s much more nice to chew
• Matcha ice cream + waffle – The ice cream soften the waffle a little, but not too much so you can still taste the crunchy feeling in the waffle while the ice cream make the matcha feeling stronger. Plus it’s a little cold so it’s much more nice to chew
• Red bean + waffle – The red bean add much more sweetness onto the waffle but unlike the whipped cream, tasting the red bean with the waffle give a little nice chewing experience. Somehow, my six sense telling me that this combination still lack of something.
• Matcha ice cream + red bean + waffle (BEST!) - This made up a uji matcha waffle. Anyone who like uji matcha would love this. I love the combination of green tea and red bean in food, yet I still failed to describe the wonderful feeling for these two combinations. You will know after you tasted it.
• Matcha ice cream + red bean + waffle + whipped cream – If you don’t really prefer the original green tea without sugar, this would be great to you. The whipped cream is slightly sweetened. Adding whipped cream into the matcha ice cream make you feel the bitterness to a lower level. Moreover, the sweetness of red bean create the nice and sweets chewing for you. So for me, it’s totally up to personal preference between adding whipped cream or not when you eat the waffle with matcha ice cream and red bean.

As for the sides, if you like some nuts on top of ice cream, you gotta top the matcha ice cream on top before eating. The nuts are really crunchy and taste good. The red bean on the side is basically about the same with the one on top of the waffle. Just that this is not as mashed up as the one on the waffle.

The only complaint I have on this dessert is the strawberry. It taste quite sour and it doesn’t seems to belong to any of the food except that it make the plate look more appealing. If you are going to take the strawberry, I suggest you to take it with the red bean or red bean with matcha ice cream.

As one of the main reason that I'm here is because of coffee, I just want to try out on their Cappuccino although they have really wide range of interesting beverage for coffee, tea, and chocolate drinks.

Upon taking the first sip, first I tasted the milk, then follow by a light taste of espresso. The taste of the milk is quite dense and cover most of the coffee taste. In overall, the Cappuccino taste except that it lacking of the nice aroma of the espresso that a Cappuccino should has.

Quality

Nice. I wouldn't say this is the best waffle I had, I think the waffle would be better if they have stronger aroma. Other than that, the texture and the glaze on the waffle is quite good and satisfying.

Portion

Nice. If you are a huge eater and looking for something to bite that doesn't affect your stomach, their waffle will be good choice. But if you are not feeling full after a main meal, this might not be a good choice to fill your stomach.

Service

Good. Food serving is quite fast. And the staffs are quite friendly. Quite satisfying with this.

Cost-Worthy

Less-Worthy. Considering their portion, you don't feel much from eating it other than for chewing and pleasure, their waffle is something that you can have once in awhile but not really a good choice to be your usual option for light snack. So if you are looking for a snack place for the price of food and drinks for approximately RM15 (consider waffle RM5 + coffee/tea RM10), you have lots more better option out there.

Environment

Nice. I will compare the environment between Mid Valley & 1 Utama outlet:

1. Mid Valley

   Number of seats are consider quite average, not too little but not too much. But the comfortable seats are quite limited and most of the seats are quite near to each other. It’s more like a place for you to take some snack while chit-chat with your friends. Additionally, the seating place is just next to the walk way, and many crowds keep passing by time by time. So it’s not really a peaceful way if you want to do some reading or need some rest.

   I’m not sure if it’s just me, I had really weak internet connection every time I’m trying to surf net here.

2. 1 Utama

   The number of seats are more than Mid Valley outlets. And most of the seats are quite comfortable. Anyhow, each of the seats also quite near to each other, it might get noisy if anyone around you chit chat in a group.

   In terms of the atmosphere, 1 Utama outlet also locate at the center of the mall so many people would pass by time to time. If you sitting next to the walkway, crowd of people would pass by time to time too.

   Just like in Mid Valley outlets, my internet connection here is extremely weak.
