We ordered <strong>waffles<\/strong> ($5), with a scoop of <strong>Sea Salt Caramel ice cream<\/strong> ($3.80). A bit pricey as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/creamier.singapore\" target=\"_blank\">Creamier<\/a>&#8216;s waffle &amp; ice cream in Toa Payoh is only about $7.50.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"25307\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/rubbisheatrubbishgrow.com\/zh\/2014\/03\/02\/shrove-tuesday-toa-payoh\/shrove-008\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rubbisheatrubbishgrow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/shrove-008.jpg?fit=3264%2C2448&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"3264,2448\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 4S&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1393590419&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.28&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;64&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.05&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;latitude&quot;:&quot;1.3389722222222&quot;,&quot;longitude&quot;:&quot;103.84921388889&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Shrove tuesday toa payoh\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rubbisheatrubbishgrow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/shrove-008.jpg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25307\" alt=\"Shrove tuesday toa payoh\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rubbisheatrubbishgrow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/shrove-008.jpg?resize=388%2C291\" width=\"388\" height=\"291\" \/><br \/>\nThe light golden waffle was airy, and a bit crispy.

I wasn&#8217;t exactly blown away by the waffles, probably because I had something similar previously. The owner of Shrove told us that it takes them 3 hours to make the batter! The ice cream was OK only, texture was too smooth, scoop was smaller than other ice cream parlours. I prefer the ice cream from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/creamier.singapore\" target=\"_blank\">Creamier<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.saltedcaramel.sg\/\" target=\"_blank\">Salted Caramel<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"25306\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/rubbisheatrubbishgrow.com\/zh\/2014\/03\/02\/shrove-tuesday-toa-payoh\/shrove-005\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rubbisheatrubbishgrow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/shrove-005.jpg?fit=3264%2C2448&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"3264,2448\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 4S&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1393590273&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.28&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;80&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.05&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;latitude&quot;:&quot;1.339&quot;,&quot;longitude&quot;:&quot;103.84916666667&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Shrove tuesday cafe toa payoh\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rubbisheatrubbishgrow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/shrove-005.jpg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25306\" alt=\"Shrove tuesday cafe toa payoh\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rubbisheatrubbishgrow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/shrove-005.jpg?resize=388%2C291\" width=\"388\" height=\"291\" \/><br \/>\nShrove\u2019s owner also recommended us tea beverages, as the tea leaves are handpicked! We had a sniff at the <strong>Melon &amp; Mangosteen tea,<\/strong> and it smelled really good.

We were told that the <strong>beans are award winning beans from Italy, and it took the owner 6 months to find them<\/strong>. I had <strong>caf\u00e9 latte<\/strong> ($4.50) which was really aromatic and smooth.
