Wimbly Lu is a quaint cafe located at the heart of the landed properties (somewhat). This cafe was one of the much raved-about waffle places in 2014. I have always wanted to visit this place because I've seen so many instagram posts of different angles of the same waffle and ice cream and everyones' verdict were positive. Back then, it looked like the whole world has visited that place except me. Jayden drove me there even though the direction we were heading for was a little off from this little cafe. Blessed to have someone who will drive me anywhere just to satisfy my food craving. Thank you Jay!



The eye-catcher of this cafe would definitely be the old-fashioned car that was parked right in front of them. This is a really smart move because they extended their concept to the parking lot which kind of tells you boldly: "Welcome to Wimbly Lu! You've found us!". This car fits the overall feel that Wimbly Lu wants to achieve. I wouldn't think this cafe would be a little more special if they allowed any other cars to be parked right in front of their cafe. Kudos to this concept.



Waffle Ice Cream (single scoop) - $10

I walked into their shop and immediately fell in love with the aroma of the waffle and maple syrup because they reminded me of Hong Kong Disneyland. That's exactly the aroma you get when you visit Disneyland. Sweet and magical. That aroma has already won my heart over. I really do feel that the price is a little steep considering that there are many other waffles out there that are on par with theirs but are at a lower price. Some were more expensive but there was quantity and quality. Nonetheless I felt the need to try.



I like the system they adopted for customers. The waiters will allocate seats to customers in a neat and orderly manner. Many cafes leave their customers to 'look' for seats and fend for themselves and were usually caught in a I-saw-this-seat-first situations. This system also saves us from having fear of 'losing' seats just because we didn't reach the seats fast enough. Everyone wants to have a good seat with good lighting so that they can Instagram the best shot of their Waffle. I suppose it makes it more fair if we were assigned by the waiters and waitresses to a seat?



Anyways, back to the waffles. My first bite into the waffle was crispy and a little fluffy. Literally crispy on the outside but fluffy on the inside. However, I would love it more if the waffle could have more waffle content so that I can feel more fluff. Just my personal preference. The maple syrup was not overpowering and neither was it too sweet. Everything blended in very well.  Each bite was a blissful bite.



It definitely wasn't a wasted trip because I've finally tasted their waffles and it was indeed delicious. On a side note, my current art module tutor is the designer of Wimbly Lu's logo. It just feels cool to have a teacher who has designed the logo of a cafe.

Time to get back to work x
