The day after Christmas! It means a pyjama and doing-nothing day. Well… sort of… The little one woke me up at 6:30 – so much for sleeping in on holidays. Her two siblings were up next… then it’s like a tornado in the house. No, not one, make it two tornados. Santa is surely generous this year 😉
Remember when I advise you to NEVER ever ask the kids what they want for breakfast? Scratch that… there are always exceptions! Today is an example. Why? Because it’s holiday..duh…! The kids excitedly said they want the “green” waffles. Yeah!!!
The correct term is Coconut Pandan Waffles. You can get the panda paste from any Asian grocery store or from Amazon with a slightly markup price. These little waffles are quite different from the usual ones. Crispy outside but very very chewy inside. The kids love it. It’s a special treat for them once in a while. The leftover can be stored in the freezer and popped in a toaster for a minute.
