After seeing so much hype about the taro waffles at Froth Café on Instagram, I finally popped by this relatively new place on Saturday with misterchewy, Little misschewy and my parents. I’m usually not too keen on jumping on the (new) cafe hopping bandwagon but it just so happened that we were in the vicinity and we had not had our lunch. It was around 5pm so the hubs called to make a reservation just to make sure they could accommodate all of us. Froth Café wasn’t too hard to locate; it’s at the basement of Big Hotel, near Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts.

We shared the Doritos Crust Winglets ($11.90) because it was recommended by the owner. Interestingly, the winglets had been deboned before being fried but I felt that this takes away the fun of eating a winglet. On the overall, the winglets were tender and spicy but extremely salty. We provided feedback to the owner who explained that they were still experimenting as customers previously found the winglets bland.

Unable to comment on the next two dishes as I didn’t try them! Fish and Chips ($16.90)

Pan-fried Salmon ($20.90)

The Carbonara ($15.90) was really good! The sauce was creamy, albeit a bit watery, but once the egg was beaten in, every mouthful was heavenly. The penne was al dente and an excellent choice because it could hold the delicious sauce. They were kinda generous with the bits of bacon too.

And finally, this is what enticed me to pay Froth Café a visit! There are five types of waffles – Buttermilk, Red Velvet, Cheese, Taro and Banana. The Taro Waffles with Sea Salt Caramel Ice Cream is a beautiful work of art. I was torn between sea salt caramel ice cream and earl grey ice cream. Can’t remember if the waffles were served warm but they were definitely very fluffy and crispy! Even Little misschewy gave her stamp of approval by not sticking out her tongue like she usually does when we attempt to give her solids! I expected the taro sauce to be immensely sweet but it was actually pretty mild. We were unable to detect any hints of saltiness in the sea salt caramel ice cream but the hubs and I enjoyed this!

Total bill came up to about $92. Will I return? Yes, probably to try out the other items! And I certainly don’t mind ordering the taro waffles again, perhaps with a scoop of earl grey ice cream!
