THE GREAT WAFFLE MASSACRE


Why are they so delicious?? You may ask.. What makes them so special??? Well somethings will always remain a mystery .. Somethings are just the way they are.. So just eat them... Eat these honey comb shaped crispy sweet desserts and bask in their awesomeness.. Give in to your innermost temptations.. Do not fight the urge .. Let the demon inside come out....... Wait.......
That is enough drama ,lets just cut to the chase... I an gonna share two of my waffle experiences in Delhi. Two places where I had brutally eaten waffles and left no evidences at the crime scene... I mean on the plate...
Now a waffle(also known as a Belgian waffle) is dough or batter cooked between two plates and has a specific pattern on it(kinda like a honeycomb). ... I have been eating them for a while but there are two places which stand out... So here it goes:

Massacre #1 Rico's:


Don't get confused by the appearance of this eatery.. May look tiny ..A small restaurant in GTB Nagar but as soon as you open the door you will be blown away by the liveliness of the place... So much energy ... So much joy... So much food... A place usually frequented by college students(no wonder it is so lively) , Rico's serves a variety of cuisines. Now as I was skimming through the menu my eyes rested on the waffle list.. There was a tiny description under each item.. There was one which said waffles with blueberry sauce,raspberry sauce and chocolate sauce topped with whipped cream. My brain went into overdrive. I just had to eat it...So i placed my order... Now a lot of times you see something on the menu and you start picturing it. More often than not the real thing does not even come close to the image in your head and you are left disappointed. But sometimes(one of those "one in a blue moon" moments) the dish exceeds your expectations.It so happened this was one of those times for me. As soon as it arrived I wasted no time.Picked up my knife and fork and started gobbling it down.. And man was it good. Crispy and yet soft and fluffy .. The blueberry and raspberry sauces blending in perfectly ..The chocolate sauce doing a little dance on my taste buds... And it was finally gone.. I kinda wanted to cry that it got over so fast but it was my fault.. Had to eat it like a savage. Did not feel any remorse when I licked the last drop of raspberry jelly off the plate... 

Massacre #2: Johnny Rocket



I know its a little difficult to bother reading after seeing this beauty but please do try.Now Johnny Rocket is an American theme restaurant located in Select City Walk Mall. Looksa lot like something which came out of the 1970s. Im talking booths for eating... Jukeboxes and some good old rock n roll Elvis Presley style. The place has amazing burgers too. Now I did not bother reading the description in the menu this time.. I saw waffles and I ordered for it.. What came was unexpected... This particular victim of mine had two scoops of butter scotch ice cream on it...TWO SCOOPS ... and it was topped with raspberry sauce and chocolate sauce and there were pieces of raspberry too... This one.. I ate slowly.. Enjoyed every single bite. The warm waffle and the cold ice cream were blending beautifully . There is something fascinating about alternating hot and cold flavors. No wonder sizzling brownies taste so awesome.. I usually don't prefer having butter scotch ice cream but had to make an exception this time ...I was helpless... Had to give in ... 
Finally it had all disappeared... One slow heavenly bit at a time ... The massacre had come to an end.. The waffle was no more ...

I know my story was gruesome... But it sure was delicious . If any of you get a chance do visit these places... and please share your experiences with me... 
Bye... (Waffles beware )
