Waffle Place by Royz et Vous launched as Singapore's first halal premium waffle cafe, positioning itself on Bussorah Street near Sultan Mosque to serve the Muslim community and tourists exploring Kampong Gelam's cultural precinct. The establishment applies Royz et Vous' quality standards to waffle-making, creating a focused concept that elevates this Belgian-origin snack through creative fusion applications and halal certification that broadens accessibility.
The menu showcases ambition with 18 unique waffle and croffle choices spanning savoury and sweet preparations. Savoury options include Gochujang Fried Chicken and Har Cheong Gai Chicken Waffle, demonstrating willingness to merge Korean, Chinese, and Western elements on crispy waffle bases. Croffles, the Korean-popularised croissant-waffle hybrid, appear in takoyaki-inspired versions that bridge Japanese street food with European baking. Sweet selections feature tall soft-serve ice cream pairings with Apple Crumble, Rocky Road, and Mango Tango waffles, while local-inspired Ondeh-Ondeh flavour translates traditional kueh into contemporary cafe format.
The Bussorah Street location capitalises on consistent foot traffic from mosque visitors, heritage area explorers, and Arab Street diners seeking dessert options after dinner. The halal certification removes barriers for Muslim families wanting Western-style cafe experiences without compromising dietary requirements. The sibling concept Pancake & Waffle Place at nearby Kandahar Street demonstrates the team's commitment to the Bugis-Kampong Gelam corridor, establishing Royz et Vous as a neighbourhood presence rather than single-outlet experiment. For the area's diverse visitors, Waffle Place delivers Instagram-worthy creations alongside genuine substance, proving halal cafes can compete aesthetically and culinarily with mainstream competitors.
