Monday everyone have the standard Mondays blue
Wednesday is for the ladies, party all night long!
Thursday we have people queuing up to buy Toto
Friday its one more day to the weekends
Saturday its finally weekends!
Sunday 4D 4D & 4D
So what do we have on Tuesday? Make a guess?!?
Yep, Tuesdays are Waffles Day!
For every Tuesday, its waffles day at Gelare, where you get to enjoy 50% discount on their waffles (actually for their plain waffles only, the rest less than 50%).
But who bothers! Its waffles day, and personally i do think its quite a good sales tactic. I mean even though i have never try Gelare before, but i heard of their promotions before. It works.
A friend and i went down to Gelare @ Plaza Singapura, 3pm and the place’s almost full house. For every tuesday, plain Waffle with syrup & cream is half price at $3.90, and the single scoop ice cream waffle is $6.90 (original price being $9.90)
There’s this promotion which they are having for their main course. But after seeing that their pastas are actually those frozen ready-packed one, which they heat up in the microwave, no thanks!
I was tempted to try their cheesecakes which at $5 a slice seems reasonable. Anyone try before mind letting me know whether it’s good?
Waffle with single scoop Tiramisu ice cream ($6.90)
Just stick to what Geláre is good at, waffles. There was a choice whether you want to add on 20 cents to change the waffle to chocolate chip waffles, but we sticked with the normal ones.
The choice of toppings will be either chocolate sauce or maple syrup, and the option for having cream or no cream.
I liked my Ti-ra-mi-su ice cream waffles. But its actually quite soft, i’m not sure whether good waffles are meant to be soft, but i have a penchant for crispier waffles, like the one i had at Haato’s
Waffle with single scoop Pistachio gelare ($6.90)
The Pistachio gelare here wasn’t to my friend’s liking. Pistachio is a kind of nut just in case you have no idea, like me. My friend like the soft waffles though, i guess everybody has different preference.
And we concluded that the waffles will taste much nicer without the whipped cream, and the chocolate sauce only hinder the taste of the ice cream.
Total Bill for 2 waffles is $13.80, on tuesday the waffles single scoop ice cream at $6.90 are considered reasonable i guess, but even the normal price ten bucks for it, i won’t touch it.
Haato’s waffle with single scoop ice cream is at $6, everyday. I guess thats the place to fulfill my waffles cravings until a better place comes about.
And on ya, we went to Bratwurst shop at the basement of Plaza Singapura for sausages after this!

Mama BoK’s last blog post..Drug Busting In Town
ah! gelare! different outlets’ waffles taste different..
siglap’s one’s the best though, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside kind, makes me feel like i can eat it plain! Had a bad experience with undercooked waffles at Far East. :/
i want Haato’s! But how do you get to ridgewood!? :/
jiaying’s last blog post..Ice Monster with YN
Hello Mama Bok: Agreed, A & W waffles are the best. But we don’t have them here anymore. How about yr side? they still opened there?
Hello Jiaying: Ah i see, then it will be the skills of the staff then, diff standards no good leh. lol! i like cripsy but the ones here a bit soft.
U lived at the east, ridgewood is at the west. lol! its near to jelita, holland V there. Hard to explain, you need to check out the map. Otherwise next time you come west tell me then i bring you go : )
My hubby has his regular Tue tea-break at their town branch. Tue is his favourite day *LOL*

I just had some waffles at Gelare too but I felt that Cafe Cartel actually serves up tastier waffles that have a nice buttery and vanilla smell. But I must say that the ice cream toppings at Gelare definitely wins hands-down.
Anyway, I saw your OChaCha entry and I’m (still) so upset that I couldn’t join in.
