The best waffles in town, have you tried?
Said to be the sister establishment of popular dessert parlor, Cremier. Barely one month old and the new ice cream parlor- 'Sunday Folks' has been causing a stir in Chip Bee Gardens, numerous people have constantly Instagrammed their famed waffles & soft serve ice-cream.
We were there on a Sunday afternoon and especially since it's a new outlet, the place was fully packed. Without a proper queue system, it will most probably take you about an hour of not-so-surreptitiously standing by the table to get a seat so i suggest you to come earlier if you do not want to meet the crowd.
'Sunday Folks' has a clean yet modern design. There isn't any clutter but a lot more spacious, such as high-counter in the middle of the parlor with menus placed on top. The interior is cozy and warm. Decor is very minimal, with a few flower vases on tables, some potted plants on shelves, wood & copper finishings and the usual spotlight lighting.

The menu
{With the pre-fixed of 6 signature soft serve ice-cream to choose from: Dark Chocolate, Summer Strawberries, Roasted Pistachio, Earl Grey Lavender, Madagascar Vanilla and Seasalt Gula Melaka. Besides serving them with waffles, they also serve them in cone/cup with pre-selected toppings to choose from. For both ice-cream and waffles, the price are affordable although i do find that their cone/cup pricing to be slightly steep.
Oh yes! Not to forget.......everyone's favorite- NO GST AND SERVICE CHARGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A wide range of toppings for customization!
{Standard toppings/sauce-$1.50 and Premium toppings- $1.90}
Belgian Waffles topped with a scoop of summer strawberry soft serve{$11.80}
Please do not ask me which flavor is the best because i think it boils down to personal preference...
First impression? Very pretty and thankfully, instagram-worthy from almost every angle :P
So there it is.....their famed waffles- MUST ORDER! Waffles was perfect- with a good crisp along the edges and fluffy interior that wasn't too soggy, definitely one of the best i have eaten. Along with that, the ice-cream was a dream- creamy and smooth. It does not melt easily too. As for the toppings, they are more than a mouthful. Each waffles comes with toppings like blueberries and strawberries but if you would like to have other more toppings, you can add them. Home-made sauces like caramel and chocolate hazelnut can be added too, proving there are truly endless way to have your ice-cream.
SeaSalt Cula Melaka{$7.20}
Came with a Sesame cracker atop, which was crispy, fragrant and packs a crunchy texture to the smooth soft serve, along with japanese mochi. The saltness was neutral. Soft-serve was stellar, smooth and flavorful.
If you have yet to visit 'Sunday Folks', please do! Trust me, you will not be disappointed.
If waffles aren't your thing, there are other offerings too.
Cakes on the other hand, like Japanese matcha cake, matcha roll, were highly recommended too!
Good food, good vibe...I'm definitely coming back again to try their cones and other flavors!
