In Search For A Waffle
The Daddy wanted to eat waffles two weeks ago, and off we went to Cheras to find one, one fine Saturday night.
Somehow, we ended up eating other stuff that night.
Coney Dog for the Daddy and Mommy & the Kiddo had Supreme Dog. We had wanted to eat something else but the only menu that was shown at the counter was the SenSavers (which was ONLY applicable on weekdays 12pm-3pm) and we were there on a weekend. At night.
The on-duty manager and staff weren't that helpful with suggesting the menu either so no waffles were ordered that night. It was either the value sets that we can't order or limited ala carte options. Weird...
Actually, what happened to their combo meals? Not offering it at Damai Perdana branch, I wonder?
Mommy decided to try their Cheesy Macho Nachos. Verdict? Look at it. Does it look at all appetising??? Then again, Son seems to like it just fine.
We had the other side dish that was on promotion too - the onion rings and fries. My advice. Save your $$$. Skip them.
But their "dogs" are good. That's what we always eat if we're at A&W anyway. The Coney Dogs and Supreme Dogs are unique too, as you don't get hot dogs at other fast food outlet, right? But that's about it lah...
Anyway, finally got our waffles last week, when we were en route to Shah Alam, at the Batu 3 outlet.
Again, waffles weren't featured in their menu and we had to ask whether they are still offering them. Got the waffles. The poor boys shared hard as board waffles between them but lucky Mommy had a newly cooked, soft waffles.
Well, for both visits we still managed to enjoy their A&W rootbeer in chilled glasses. Small pleasures there. Hur hur
the nachos look ... erm, sad!
ReplyDeleteyou should buy a waffle maker la, save the trouble! or a waffle mould. I saw a waffle mould at Daiso the other day and contemplated it, but didn't buy it in the end. :D
You know, I always have this suspicion... If I buy, then I probably won't have the craving anymore. LOL
DeleteStill remember my 1st A&W waffle. I doubted that the plastic knife can cut thru the waffle. Tapi...memang la they've perfected the waffle. Just nice crispiness on the outside and soft on the inside.
ReplyDeleteWaffle in last photo looks yummeh. Also noticed the tshirt. MWM kaa?
Tu la... Their waffles are nice. Kalau the one served tu tak over-counter time limit la. I got mine very sedap... ;-)
DeleteYup, MWM tee. We were on our way to MWM running clinic n get together with Kathrine Switzer ari tu. :-)
When I was a kid in Penang, I remembered that A&W was the first and only fast food chain at that PJ State. My uncle always took me there when my family visited KL. I would go back to school and brag about it. Now that outlet is still there but much of their food in the menu needs HELP! Esp the fried chicken that was coated with some saw dusts and tasted like fried pieces of wood. I thought the Ayam Tua was like 85 years old.
ReplyDeletewhile many of their outlets have closed down, that PJ Drive-through outlet is still there and i guess many PJ people love going there too..
DeleteI went to the PJ one a few times recently. Can't say it was nice. Rundown actually. But I guess it's still an easy place to hangout, rather than going into the nearby mall.
DeleteI still love to eat waffles with jam and ice cream. We seem to have very similar interests and taste lah.
ReplyDeleteerrr, i really have not tried A&W's waffle with ice-cream.. if i am craving for waffle, i'll just settled with those at the LRT stations at RM2.50 with chocolate and peanut butter spread.. ah, generous spread and dripping all over if i am not careful~~ nice!! :D
DeleteI so long never tried the stall punya waffle. Last time, in front of Carrefour also got, right?
DeleteYalah, why we didn't just go and buy them at Petronas station? My housing area punya Petronas station also got sell! Hahaha
huh, now only you remember huh?? those stalls selling HOMEMADE waffle somemore, with generous toppings from a vast selection also.. most of the time, i cannot decide which two i would like to go.. until i can make the kakak almost impatient.. :D
Deleteguess what?? am typing this comment while on a treadmill.. not on my phone but on the machine screen!! fuyoh, a built in screen that can go online, shyoknya!! but susah nak type while in motion, haha.. just kacau you aje.. continue spamming you later.. :p
ReplyDeleteIf you can type this, means you are not working out! Get moving! LOL
DeleteWah... CF now so canggih la dia punya treadmill. Like that, I want to re-instate my gym membership la! LOL
can lah, the treadmill is moving and i am moving also.. hahaha!! yalor, they just changed to new machines this week, but i do not know if they are going to change more within this week (as stated in their notice to members)..
DeleteMuahahahaha Thambee Kena marah...
DeleteLook at your never changing size dei. Come la to join me at FF.
oh ya, I heard waffles... yum yum.
ReplyDeleteI've tried A&W waffles once - no complain ler, it is nice. Rootbeer tak payah cakap lagi, best!
ReplyDeleteAbout their hotdogs pretty good as well.
But hor, Taiping's A&W tutup cos no business...Customers tak banyak sini.
Not many other fast food outlets sell waffles, rootbeer and hot dogs! ;)
DeleteOnce I wanna make my own waffles, but I rather buy it easier because we don't eat it all the time. I love my waffles with peanut butter and strawberry jam - yumz.
ReplyDeleteIt's all up to our own preference ;)
DeleteVery healthy Asian food! :p
ReplyDeleteVery! ;)
DeleteHeLLo Lina,
ReplyDeleteSometimes what we planned to eat didn't work. I experienced it. We wanted to eat pizza but ended up eating chicken wings and cheesy rice. Huhu!
Perfectly normal, I agree to change.
DeleteBut when you change because of incompetence, then a bit sakit hati lorr.... :P
The Coney Dog looks large to me. I wonder whether I can find that size here in Kuching. The Cheesy Macho Nachos didn't look appetizing but maybe the taste was fine. That's y your son loved it.
ReplyDeleteKids love anything junk la :P
DeleteFor your information, we don't have A&W outlet in Kuching. Sad isn't it?
ReplyDeleteYou're not missing out much, that I can tell you :P
DeleteMiss A&W, there was an outlet here before but now bankrupt already, haha xD
ReplyDeleteHere also got a few outlets closed down already
DeleteLong time did not visit A&W or any fast food restaurant for that matter LOL!
ReplyDeleteYou're eating very healthily now! :)
DeleteI still remember enjoying A&W's waffles, root beer and coney dogs. I think those were the only food I like at A&W :D
ReplyDeleteMe too!
Deletesuddenly craving for waffles and only gotta eat that after two weeks?? the crave can stay so long ah?? hahaha.. or you are actually telling the story that happened two weeks ago?? :p
ReplyDeleteThe hubby punya craving, he can tahan one. Very patient guy. ;)
DeleteOne story was two weeks ago.
Another one was last week.
Combine into one post.
No need long-winded double ranting. LOL
and THANK YOU for not splitting the same topic into three different post spanning the whole week~~ :D
DeleteBut should have done so la.
DeleteOtherwise how to tell all mak nenek stories & show all mak nenek, many angles photos? :-P
Bwahaha
oh A&W.. i like their coney dog and root beer (float, but i think lately i just prefer plain root beer without the float).. their curly fries used to be nice, but then i prefer their fries now.. and oh, i like their fried chicken too, i think they are better than THAT chain at times..
ReplyDeleteWe are opting for the plain root beer too now! Same!
DeleteTHAT chain - haish... sometimes, the chicken smell la... But I still go a few times. *gila*
eih, not good that your chicken smells like chicken meh?? muahahahaha.. but yeah, i still go sometimes albeit~~ :D
Deletethose are the few things, and only few things, that i would order when i go to A&W (actually seldom also, because they have not got a lot of outlets too huh??).. never had their waffle before, and since when they have the nachos?? haha, errrr, doesn't look appetizing to me at all - maybe only kids would like them~~ :p
ReplyDeleteNachos is a new promo la. Prominently displayed on the counter, at the expense of other "normal" items
Deleteadoi.. were you there when they are about to close?? why hasn't they have much choices on the menu, and when asked it was like "apa pun tarak"?? luckily, at least, you had the coney dogs, at least something that i think they are good at..
ReplyDeleteThat one also got to ask. Ask menu, no show menu. Haiz
Deleteoh, they changed the packaging for the dogs!! now that seems a lot better.. i remember once they have this "thought very innovative" packaging, half cardboard half paper, but i really find that not ergonomic at all lah, the cardboard was suppose to support but then i find it obstructing me to grab the dog, and the paper should be used to wrap around the dog when i grab it, but because of the cardboard i cannot do that.. duh~~
ReplyDeleteYalah, that errrm... unique packaging. This one easier. Less wasteful also.
Deletei still like them wrapped in papers lah, no need boxes.. wrapped in paper more senang, just unwrap half to makan and hold on to the other half..
DeleteI went to A&W the other day and I got the conney dog and float.
ReplyDeletelove the float but not the CONNEY DOG..
You didn't like the CONEY Dog because you were Coonned! Who ask you to order CONNEY?
Delete#lamejoke
i only go to A&w for the waffles and coney dog.
ReplyDeleteother stuff in the menu suck haha
Sama.
DeleteANd I do so agree with you. The rest just suck.
I miss A&W. There is no A&W in Singapore. :(
ReplyDeleteNot happening enough for Singapore anymore? :P
