Finally found the time to check out Wimbly Lu with my best friend, Ashley! Felt so proud of Ashley becos for the first time ever, she was the one who found the exact directions to Wimbly Lu and brought me there! Usually I'm the one who googles the directions/ make reservations etc cos I like to be in control lol....
We went there at abt 8.30pm and it wasn't too crowded so we managed to get a table immediately. I love the interior deco with fluffy little "clouds" hanging frm the ceiling, so pretty! However, I didn't like the fact that the tables were really close to each other. It felt as though the people sitting beside us could eavesdrop on our conversation anytime? We could barely gossip the entire time. SUXXX.
As we weren't feeling very hungry, we only ordered their root beer cake with vanilla ice cream and their waffles. I read online that Wimbly Lu serves the best waffles in Spore so obviously I had high expectations for it.
Sad to say, the waffles were really disappointing! I mean, come on, are all bloggers paid to write untrue stuff? The waffles was really bad! It wasn't crispy at all and tasted like it was undercooked? I mean I've worked in Udders (an ice cream shop) before and I knw how to make waffles. Pretty sure even the waffles in Udders tasted better than the one I had in Wimbly Lu! And their scoop of ice cream was really pathetic. It's tiny!!! Such a waste of calories.
If you're craving for waffles, just go to Salted Caramel at Upper Thomson or Strangers' Reunion at Outram instead.(Read abt the amazing waffles at Strangers' Reunion here: http://weilingweilingweiling.blogspot.ie/2013/09/singapore-waffles-at-strangers-reunion.html)
The root beer cake was slightly better than the waffles! It's certainly an interesting combination. It's served in a wine glass, with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream. There's a slight taste of root beer and I like that it's not too sweet. However, the slice they served was really small and miserable looking (which explains why I didn't take any photo of it) For $6, I'd say that this cake is worth the try but I wouldn't order it again.
Overall, Wimbly Lu was absolutely disappointing. Apart frm its cute whimsical decorations, the desserts were only average. Doubt I'd be visiting this place anytime soon.....
