Pearl Waffle @ JB City Square

I was on a day trip to Johor Bahru today, and happened to see this new outlet in City Square Mall called Pearl Waffle. This is a waffle place from Taiwan and it happened to be their grand opening today.
 
Pearl Waffle is situated on the top floor of City Square mall, next to the box office of Cathay cinema. It is a little small corner outlet. Since it was their first day, the staff was dressed as maids (you know those old English maids, in their black and white uniforms?), and they were handing our flyers and putting up more tables.

There are many varieties of waffle, but I chose the banana waffle with vanilla ice cream. It came in a little cute plate like this.
 


And iced tea (as in iced milk tea).


I am not sure of the Malaysian market so I cannot comment how successful this outlet will be, but if it opens in Singapore, I believe it would be pretty successful, especially amongst the teenagers. The waffle itself is not that fantastic, but the banana with vanilla and maple syrup makes for a good snack or dessert. And the iced milk tea is just right, not too sweet.
 
I do hope we can have an outlet here soon!
 
Food : 3 out of 5
Ambience : None, since it is a small corner stall
Service : 4 out of 5 (maybe because it is their first day)
Price : 3 out of 5 (I feel it is a tad pricey)
