Overview
We've got two incredible words for you: waffles and shakes. That's what you'll find on offer from Melbourne's newest food truck, the appropriately named Let's Waffle N' Shake. Rolling around town even as we speak, the bright blue van is the sweet, sugary brainchild of Ben Loke and Ari Tsiokas, two friends who saw a waffle-shaped gap in Melbourne's food-truck convoy and decided to fill it in the most decadent fashion imaginable.
Indeed, just because they only serve waffle pops and milkshakes doesn't mean there's anything pedestrian about their operation. Turns out you can do quite a bit with a waffle on a stick, whether that's lathering it with chocolate ganache and nutella before dipping it in a mix of oreo crumbs, coco-pops and milo, or covering it in maple syrup, salted caramel, custard and white chocolate before topping it off with pecans, cinnamon sugar and whipped cream. All in all Let's Waffle N' Shake offer nine different variants at $8 a pop – and trust us, they're all equally as absurd. Alternatively, you're welcome to create your own.
As for your milkshake, you can go with a classic option like chocolate, strawberry, banana or blue heaven, or opt for something a little more out there such as salted caramel, cream and popcorn or strawberry, rhubarb, marshmallow and fairy floss. And just in case you want to absolutely guarantee that massive coronary, you can add additional toppings, such as mini M&Ms, crunchy nut cornflakes and a combination of banana lollies and potato chips. Worth it.
