GoGetWaffles

We believe that one of the most inviting scents to be enjoyed in life, especially during the Christmas season, is that of warming vanilla wafting from soft golden gems of delicious, sweet dough. So we were thrilled to discover this magical smell recently,

when passing the GoGet Waffles stand. GoGet Waffles have declared themselves

to be the “ambassadors of the Belgian Ministry of Culinary Affairs”, or in other words, they wish to promote Belgian waffles in China. This newly opened business gives their customers the opportunity to have this delectable Belgian delicacy in Shanghai. GoGet Waffles was launched by a Belgian native over a year ago, and provides customers with a waffle experience completely authentic to the homeland of all things sweet and chocolaty.

Customers can now choose from both sweet and savoury waffles, and personalize their treat by selecting their toppings with which to adorn it. Try a Liege waffle on a stick - made from dough which produces soft round shaped waffles, or a Brussels waffle on a stick, the wider known of the two, which produces a more crispy batter and comes in a square shape. The waffles can be prepared to include pepperoni, bacon and ham topped with cheese, lettuce or tomato. For those with a sweeter tooth, how about whipped cream with chocolate poured on top or, a genuine taste of Belgium, speculoos paste, spread across your waffle? If making the decision between all these appetizing toppings becomes too much, GoGet Waffles provides customers with the chance to sample different toppings first before making the commitment, thus leaving even the fussiest and most apprehensive of eaters frantically wanting more! As their tagline says, “sharing is optional….” Waffles start from RMB 20 including one topping and RMB 25 for two toppings. GoGet Waffles can also cater events and insist that since the best waffles are eaten freshly made, they must make each individual waffle upon request. GoGet Waffles will arrive with their own cooking utensils and a promise to leave no mess behind; the perfect hassle free option for any host. This month, GoGet Waffles can be

found at Marché De Noel (505 Zhongshan Nan Lu, near Maojiayuan Lu. Web: www. thecooldocks.com), the two-day Christmas market taking place at Cool Docks from 7

December to 8 December.
