Belgian Waffle Majesty Liege Waffles Yeouido, Seoul Being Saturday and all, I thought a small hole in the wall Belgium waffle joint would tickle your fancy. So I present to you Belgian Waffle Majesty in Yeouido. I was immediately intrigued by the individually portioned dough batter left to rise and then compressed into the hot deep grooved waffle pan. I did a tiny bit of research and there are 3 different types of what we know and love to be Belgium waffles. (1) the American version of the liquid waffle batter which are lighter and made with baking power. (2) the Brussel waffle which is what the American version was modeled after, made from a liquid batter as well, but made with yeast. (3) Last, the Liege Waffle, which is made from a dough that is left to rise before compressing into the deep groove iron waffle pans. The best part of the Liege Waffle is the chunks of sugar in the dough that are left to caramelize into a crispy outer coatings, no syrup/whipped cream necessary. Just eat ...

by Klarika Huszar www.helloklara.wordpress.com There is one waffle joint that is my never fail, go-to place for a satisfying waffle. It's the magical sword in my satchel of waffle knowledge. Fog'n Waffel & Coffee has a line outside around the clock, and I've taken many of my friends (both native Korean and American) here for dessert. The waffles are fluffy and filled with a generous amount of airy homemade yogurt cream. This place also has the best combo choices I've seen, offering two different types of filling: Yogurt Cream : Yogurt cream waffle (1,000W), Almond waffle (1,500W), Fresh Fruit waffle (2,000W) Sweet Potato Mousse : Sweet potato mousse waffle (1,500W), Almond waffle with sweet potato mousse (2,000W), Fresh fruit waffle with sweet potato mousse (2,500W) Syrups : Apple, Strawberry, Chocolate If you're overwhelmed by myriad of choices, you can't go wrong for your first time with a plain yogurt waffle. You can pick up a frequent ea...

Caffe Bene is another coffee chain in Seoul and they are popping up everywhere. They try to do gelato, waffles, coffee, and smoothies in a bookcafe atmosphere. The smoothies are nothing special. I mean they're just ice, emulsifiers, fruit juice, and corn starch. meh. They have free wifi and iMacs at every location. The interior is great. It's got a antique and art gallery feel to the place. There are lots of books around on the shelves, but I don't think they are for reading.

There is a new food blogger in town and her first foray into the Korean food wilderness is the Korean waffle. You follow her adventures at www.foodcoma911.blogspot.com Koreans love their waffles~ I never thought I would be a huge waffle fan. The "korean standard" for doing waffles here is just putting some cream on it. I need a little more something, something, ya know? So, one of my Korean friends found out that I love to sometimes indulge in one of my food philosophies of the BIGGER, the BETTER! See gave me an AMEN on that, and then recommended THE GIANT ALLIGATOR My eyes just lit up! What is The Giant Alligator?!!?! It's basically a big plate filled with waffles served with several different kinds of ice cream and toppings on the side. I guess in some abstract way it's shaped like an alligator's back. If normal Korean girls were going to eat this dish, then you would need about 6 of them to finish this plate. But being me, I just needed two other...

Over by the G'OAL office in Hongdae is a new waffle caffe. They are the thick crusty yeasty Belgium style waffles. They aren't half bad. The first ones we had weren't cooked all the way through, but the cafe replaced it right away with a new one. These waffles have crunch and body and with the fruit and ice cream topping, they taste great. The waffles aren't priced too badly either. One waffle with fruit and ice cream only costs 8,500 won. They are on the corner from Mamma Pippi and down the alley and across the street from the luxury noraebang in Hongdae. 리펴블릭카페  070-7761-3888
