It's hard to believe I haven't tried Pinoy Waffles sooner. I guess I couldn't easily find the location on previous visits. For reference it's in the same row as the carpeted bridge leading to the food stalls on the second floor of Pacific Mall.
This small food stall specializes in a dozen different flavours of elongated waffles with various fillings. When I went I had debated between getting the ham and cheese or ube (purple yam) flavours. At $2 each or 3/$5, I decided on two ube waffles and one ham and cheese waffle.
The smell of the sweet waffle batter is intoxicating. They make the waffles upon ordering. Both flavours were tasty but I definitely recommend trying the ube. The shop owner mentioned that she makes her own ube from scratch (no dark purple bottled ube used here). It was not too sweet and the soft chewy waffle is such a delicious vessel for the ube.
The customer before me said that she bought $40 worth of Pinoy Waffles for her family to try. That's a lot of waffles! Apparently they also sell empanadas on weekends. Pleased to see some Filipino representation among the food options at Pacific Mall.
3.5 stars.
