International Waffle Day: Celebrate with Rara’s Ville
PETALING JAYA: It’s International Waffle Day today! Wait, that’s a thing? Yes, indeed!
From syrup-drenched American waffles to the thick Belgian variety, and even the quirky Hong Kong egg waffles, this treat comes in all shapes and sizes. But it’s the divots that make them truly special – perfect for catching all that syrup, Nutella, or whatever sweet goodness you fancy.
The Origins of International Waffle Day
The holiday traces its origins back to Sweden, where "Våffeldagen" (Waffle Day) sounds suspiciously like "Vårfrudagen" (Our Lady’s Day), a Christian holiday on March 25. Over time, as language evolved and pronunciations blurred, Swedes began associating the day with waffles. And just like that, a religious occasion transformed into an excuse to indulge in golden, crispy goodness.
Rara’s Ville: A Waffle Love Story
So, this Waffle Day, why not skip the fancy café and opt for gourmet waffles delivered straight to your doorstep? Rara’s Ville is a home-based online waffle business in Damansara that has been winning fans over since 2022. FMT Lifestyle caught up with Aznur Nadiyah, the woman behind the waffles.
"My love for waffles started at a young age," the 42-year-old shared. "Even now, when I see waffles being sold, I have to get one." Despite her love for all things sweet and pink (just take a look at the packaging), she worked as a banker for years before resigning in 2016.
The Birth of Rara’s Ville
Unfortunately, the restaurant venture didn’t pan out as hoped. But Aznur had a lightbulb moment – why not make waffles from home? And so, in 2022, Rara’s Ville was born. "The name comes from my son and daughter’s names – Rafanda and Rayed. So, Rara’s Ville!" she explained. In fact, she shared that her children have a waffle at least once a week!
The Perfect Waffle
Rara’s Ville’s waffles are made using premium ingredients. FMT Lifestyle got a behind-the-scenes peek at her kitchen, and truth be told, the aroma alone is enough to make one weak in the knees. Aznur works with chilled waffle batter, prepped in advance to achieve that perfect texture. And this isn’t just any dinky waffle maker – Aznur uses an industrial-grade machine, that ensures even cooking and a consistent golden-brown crunch.
Variety of Flavours
Rara’s Ville offers a variety of flavours, including red velvet waffles stuffed with Nutella, as well as options featuring Biscoff, strawberry jam, blueberry, and more. And if you’re more of a pancake person, no worries – she uses the same batter to make fluffy pancakes, stacked up neatly with a slab of premium butter and pure maple syrup.
Conclusion
With waffles this good, it’d be no surprise if Rara’s Ville becomes a household name before the next International Waffle Day rolls around! So, skip the fancy café and opt for gourmet waffles delivered straight to your doorstep.
