Nit And Grit, Wallet Friendly And Delish Waffle At Hougang, Singapore - Our Tea Break at Nit & Grit

Nit And Grit, Wallet Friendly And Delish Waffle – Hougang, Singapore

When we arrived at Nit And Grit located at Hougang Green Mall, 2 young ladies in their mid-twenties, soft-spoken Joy and shy Jillian greeted us with lovely smiles. The first we noticed was their extremely short hair. This was the result as they participated at the Hair For Hope. In our mind was what a sacrificed they made from this big act. Hence, we are certain that they are very kind at heart. Throughout our conversation, indeed, it manifested naturally from them.

 

From the owner to the facade and then to the food, the same theme presented throughout Nit And Grit, that is humble. Despite the unassuming presentation and nothing worthy for the square, if you looked beyond the aesthetics, you find treasures in Nit and Grit. And you would agree that it is a hidden gem that is akin to the raw diamond that is waiting to be unearthed.

Nit And Grit, Wallet Friendly And Delish Waffle At Hougang, Singapore - 3 Special Earl Grey ($3.50) and Milo Rocher ($4.90)

 

We tried the 3 Special Earl Grey ($3.50) and Milo Rocher ($4.90). The former is a drink consisting of a home-made pudding which the duo made daily from scratch. We love such dedication to the craft shown by their willingness to offer home-made items. In it, beside the pudding, there are grass jelly and pearls.

 

The latter, Milo Rocher has a vanilla ice cream topped in a Milo and Rocher blend. Hence, you will find nut bites in the drink. In general, the drinks are lightly flavoured cum lightly sweetened.

Moving on to the exciting item at Nit And Grit, it is their waffles. We are now big fan of their crispy waffle.

 

Nit And Grit, Wallet Friendly And Delish Waffle At Hougang, Singapore - Buttermilk Hotdog Scrambled Eggs with Maple Syrup Waffle ($3.50)

 

Buttermilk Hotdog Scrambled Eggs with Maple Syrup Waffle ($3.50) was the savoury waffle we tried. It may look unassuming to many but we assure you that the wallet friendly pricing waffle is extremely delish. Firstly, outer crisp with buttermilk fragrance savoured. Moreover, the maple syrup augmented the taste experience. With the hotdog on the waffle, these added a savoury hint. In addition, the must mention scramble egg was soft and fluffy. We completely didn’t expect such high standard coming from this modest takeaway outlet.

 

Nit And Grit, Wallet Friendly And Delish Waffle At Hougang, Singapore - Buttermilk Nutella Banana ($2.50)

 

For the sweet tooth who loves both nutella and banana will turn to the Buttermilk Nutella Banana Waffle ($2.50). The other highly recommend waffle by Joy is the Avocado Waffle.

 

Alternatively, one could also opt for the classic Buttermilk Waffle with Ice Cream.

 

Nit And Grit, Wallet Friendly And Delish Waffle At Hougang, Singapore - Chendol Ice Cream ($2.50)

 

Lastly, one could also enjoy the scoop of ice cream in a delightful cone. We had the Chendol Ice Cream ($2.50) which is the premium flavour.
