100LABS

Halal Gelato & Waffles Cafe

Updated DEC 17, 2020

While you're treating yourself, you can pay it forward and help a fellow person who is in need.

On our visit to the cafe located in the bustling Kampong Glam area, we were greeted by a warm atmosphere, minimalistic decor, and some sweet tunes playing in the background. It's definitely a great spot to relax and enjoy some downtime and a treat. There wasn't much of a crowd on our mid-afternoon visit, but expect a queue if you're visiting in the evenings or on weekends, as the cafe has limited seating available.

We were pleasantly surprised to find out that 100labs also has a selection of mains in addition to their more well-known dessert options. The Leh-Chak Beef Burger and Hot-Dog Boat are brand new additions to the menu, both served with a generous helping of nachos and cheese. Look forward to more new items in the future as they expand their menu to meet the demands of their ever-growing customer base. They've also got an array of drink options, ranging from coffees and teas to specials like their Ondeh-Ondeh Latte.

​

You can opt to have a scoop (or more!) of gelato with your waffles, and 100labs has an amazing array of flavours available. They also switch it up quite often, so you can look forward to new flavour varieties on top of some regulars on your next visit. And trust us, you'll definitely want to come back for more. Each scoop of gelato only costs $3.50, even for the fancier flavours like Lychee Sorbet and Rocher Chocolate.

We decided to have the waffle with a scoop of durian gelato. It arrived at the table looking and smelling absolutely divine, and drizzled with a generous amount of maple syrup. The beautifully golden waffles were fluffy and crisp at the edges, and on our very first bite it was clear that they  were good enough to be eaten on their own. You can taste the amazing buttermilk flavour in each bite, and the maple syrup just added an extra layer of delectable goodness. We've honestly never tasted waffles that good!

The gelato complemented the waffles beautifully, balancing the sweetness with the distinctive strong taste of durian. With so many flavour options to choose from, it was hard to decide on just one, but we definitely made a good choice with the durian. Of course, if you're aiming to really spoil yourself, you can go for as many scoops as you want. Your wallet's your only limit!

We highly recommend 100labs to anyone who loves good food, a cozy ambience, and truly excellent waffles. Azly has put in hours and hours of research for his menu, and it shows in the superb quality of his food. His story is a testament to the age-old saying: work hard, and the rest will follow. Azly's work ethic and commitment to giving his best have resulted in 100labs' unprecedented and meteoric rise in popularity, defying all of his expectations. He's already begun plans to meet the demands of his ever-increasing customer base, by further expanding the menu and increasing the seating capacity at his cafe.
