Breaking down a waffle into bite-sized pieces using scissors, the vendor elevates the dish with a generous drizzle of dark chocolate sauce, milk chocolate sauce, Nutella sauce, and white chocolate sauce. The waffle pieces are then adorned with colorful sprinkles, chocolate chips, Kitkat shavings, and Oreo bits. A scoop of vanilla ice cream crowns the creation, finished off with an additional drizzle of chocolate sauce. Priced at Rs 100 for half a plate, with an extra Rs 30 for ice cream, the Waffle Bhel promises a chocolate coma for those with a sweet tooth.
