With a crispy exterior, fluffy interior and ability to be versatile and adapt with any kinds of toppings and fillings while also being able to be eaten for breakfast, lunch or dinner, makes waffles unique. Add the grid pattern to the mix and enjoying the Belgian treat is nothing short of an experience because it allows you to immerse yourself in some theatrics. If you are eating it at a restaurant, the server helps you load them with syrup and toppings like fresh fruits and berries of your choice. Sometimes they also simply let you take the DIY approach as you go about like Ratatouille’s Linguini guided by an invisible Remy to make the dish just the way you want.

It gets better because savoury waffles are becoming more popular than before, showcasing how much the humble dish made popular by Belgium has now transcended to be uniquely showcased in Mumbai and Indian restaurants.
