Pegi Waffles - Houston

The waffles were really good buttery, soft and the Liege waffle had sugar crystals in it for added texture. The wagyu salpicao was a downer though. The beef was quite stringy/fibrous (ma litid) making it hard to chew, but the garlic pasta that came with it was deliciously garlicky. The shrimp tarragon ravioli had good texture and filling. Would benefit from a bit more salt though, but overall a good dish as well. The rectangular Brussels waffles are buttery and soft. Just the way I like it. Paired with the cheesy frank, you've got a winner!

They have an interesting take on waffles. At first we thought they served Belgian waffles similar to the one you can get in Starbucks. But they actually have 2 kinds of waffles and you can have it as a dessert or as a savory dish. Their waffle desserts goes well with coffee. If you're looking for a snack place or dessert place, this will hit the spot.

After trying out Pegi waffles, I learned that there are two types of waffles. Brussels-style and Liege-style waffles. Brussels-style waffles are those rectangular shaped ones that have light and fluffy texture. It pairs really well with savory options like sausage, egg and the like. On the other hand, Liege-style waffles are those unevenly shaped ones that have crispier, denser, and chewier texture. This style goes better with sweet toppings like fruits, ice cream and syrups. I suggest that you go for their Eggs Benedict when you feel like eating something savory. The dish is composed of ham, topped with a poached egg, drizzled with creamy hollandaise sauce, on a light and fluffy waffle. If you're craving for something sweet, try the Pegi Classic. A sweet and crispy waffle topped with vanilla ice cream and drizzled with chocolate syrup.

I like the afternoon tea package for 190php. It comes with a pot of tea, 2 buttered scones with jam and clotted cream. I love their scones which are quite hard to fine.

I've passed by Pegi Waffles, I think, twice since I moved to Quezon City. To be honest, I had no idea about them: that they're actually the supplier of the Belgian waffles at Starbucks, which people have grown to love over the years. Whenever I'd see the place, it reminded me a little bit of another bakery cafe, I guess because of the blue and they're both, you know, the dainty and quaint types. The interiors feels both cozy, comfortable and modern, appears polished without being intimidating. Especially loved the touches of gray and the striped pattern on the couches. It's like one of those hidden cafes that you discover where you can imagine yourself finding a perfect spot to spend an entire afternoon either to hangout with friends or to finish all the things you need to blog (well, in my case . I'm not sure if they have Wi-Fi though, I forgot to ask. There's ample lighting inside the cafe, and yes, Instagram-worthy. And though it bears a breakfast staple (or dessert, whichever you prefer on its name, Pegi Waffles serves so much more than that. They were really generous as we were served appetizers and we were able to order our food of choice for main course. We were quite a big group that day so there was so much food. I was able to had a bite or two of practically everything that was served but I think I'll note here those that were standouts. We were in for a big treat! The Scones made me feel like all dignified (LOLJK but, seriously, it was really the best! It was soft, a tiny bit crumbly and tasted buttery on its own. The combination of the clotted cream and marmalade was a tickle to the palate! I absolutely recommend it. Best served with tea! The Tuna Melt is a runner-up. The generous filling of tuna chunks and the cheesy goodness made it my second favorite from the appetizers. My top picks are: Salmon Lasagna. I've always preferred cream-based pasta than the oil and tomato ones. One mistake I've made is not to ask how huge each serving is, and was met with a huge platter that can stuff two to three people. I loved how there were hefty salmon meat with lots of flavor. The pasta was soft and the cream was a tad overwhelming, but everything still works for me. Wagyu Beef Salpicao. I think everyone agreed this is one of the best dishes we had that day. The beef was oh-so tender and packed with flavor. That right there is premium beef, both by its texture and taste. It was a really satisfying meal that I enjoyed. And lastly, the Chicken Ala Kiev. First time I've heard of this recipe (it was also a new entree on the menu and was surprised by how it tasted. It looked like cordon bleu, but when you slice it, there's this oil/sauce that comes out adding more depth to the flavor of the chicken. Pegi Waffles is synonymous to the best waffles in town and also so much more! I felt that the dishes they serve are well thought of and excellent in quality. I wouldn't mind spending extra for food as delicious as these. I highly recommend this place. I'm definitely getting another bag of scones and waffles next time! And if you're in San Juan, please do pay them a visit. You won't be sorry! :
