I bought this new Eupa brand of waffle iron from South Korea off Qoo10 recently. Very happy with my purchase because my previous waffle iron was just rubbish – supposed to be non-stick and even though I still greased it with oil or butter, my waffle still stuck to both the top and bottom and it was just so hard to remove and clean up. With this new waffle iron, making waffles is such a breeze and I can also rotate it to ensure both sides of the waffle are evenly cooked.

Right now, the seller is offering a special price of S$59.90 including free shipping. Really worth buying if you’re into waffles!
I like to use buttermilk in my waffles because it really imparts a nice flavour. Buttermilk waffles taste good on their own and when paired with either sweet or savoury accompaniments. Since chicken and waffles and anything salted egg are so HOT in Singapore right now, let’s make a combo of Salted Egg Chicken and Waffles that I’m sure will please many palates out there. 😉 This recipe serves 6. Enjoy!
