A Father's day breakfast a week over due.. Sorry Dad! I thought we'd be fully stuffed after a dinner at the China Bar buffet.
These waffles take no time to make, and with the convenience of it leaving overnight in the fridge, and just pouring it into the waffle maker the next morning? Perfect and prepared! This is my favourite yeasted waffles, as it produces crispy and light waffles.
But here's a post dedicated to Dad. He's my all time hero and inspiration, who never fails to make me laugh.
The stereotypical strict 'Tiger' dad; he is a math genius (I wish I caught the math gene from him) who is constantly helping me with maths; (and also not to mention, attempted to get me excited about physics), and has given me years worth of wisdom & knowledge to take on, that I can hopefully pass on to my own kids when I'm older. I've learnt the true value of hard work and always going back to your roots.
'Blood is thicker than water' ; I would not be who I am today, without my dad and family's guidance. I love you Dad! I really do hope that one day, I'll make you real proud.
