Cherry Clafoutis

The gamble with fruits is that sometimes they end up being duds. Thus, a bunch of not-very-sweet cherries turned into a late night snack of cherry clafoutis.

Memorable Meals: 2

Life for the past 3.5 months of 2016 has been pretty crazy with lots of new beginnings and I’m finding it hard to make time to do all the things on my list. One thing I have been doing is eating lots of sweets and brunch, as you shall see below.

Spontaneous trips for macarons to raise low spirits.

A small taste of the student life again with Bernie’s Sunday buffet brunch.

Finally, finally, FINALLY. The long-awaited devouring of Mrs. Biederhof’s blueberry buttermilk pancakes.

One of the things I miss most about Hong Kong are the egg waffles. This is the Hong Kong style milk tea egg waffle with matcha ice cream – I just wish the waffles were a tad more eggy.

I finally tried a new peanut butter cookie recipe. Light, airy, and so easy to polish off five in a row.

 

Spotlight: Williams Fresh Cafe Funky Monkey Waffle

Funky Monkey waffle

Williams Fresh Cafe serves up breakfast, lunch/dinner and dessert at over 35 locations around Ontario, a few of which are conveniently located near university campuses. Coincidence? :)

When I first came to Waterloo, I heard from friends that Williams was a great place to hang out and grab some coffee and food. Though for a student budget, I would say many items are on the pricier end of the spectrum, it is definitely a great place for a treat once in awhile. My especial favourites are their dessert and drink options, and I often find myself here for their cakes and waffles.
