Dinges.

This post is dedicated to my cousin and dinges lover. He never fails when taking me out to eat, so I knew this was going to be great pit stop. It was the Wafels and Dinges cart. I was first really confused at what it was when I read it on the food blogs, like what the heck is a dinges??? My cousin responded with: I'm not really sure, but it's pretty damn good. But he said the dinges is what they call the toppings to put on the wafel.

There are different kinds of wafels, but all they had was the liege wafel that night, which is more soft and chewy while the other one is light and crispy. Nonetheless, picking the dinges' is the best part. We went off my cousin's favorite combination: spekuloos spread, bananas and vanilla ice cream. I agreed, but added nutella on top as well :). Spekuloos is...actually I'm not quite sure, but it's probably the best thing next to nutella. I would eat it out of a jar if I could (they sell it individually, so maybe I will in the near future). Their website describes it as "that looks like peanut butter, but it tastes like traditional Belgian gingerbread-cinnamon cookies." Yummy. The wafel was warm and chewy with the edges being the best part-like almost every desert. Paired with the all the toppings, it's pretty much heaven on a wafel. I love that the warm nutella froze over the ice cream and the cold ice cream contrasted with the chewy wafel so well. And the spekuloos-you just have to try it!

(*Side note: I usually stay away from desserts because I'm not a big fan of sweets, but for some reason lately I've been all about the cakes, cookies, brownies, cupcakes, etc. I mean I haven't had any, but I have been craving some which is really out of the realm for me. And quite dangerous. So I was definitely up for a wafel).

So there is no doubt I'll be follow/stalking the @waffeltruck truck for their whereabouts in the city. Maybe a jar of spekuloos as an early birthday gift to myself? Yes please. There is also a truck hotline you can call. Wafels are available just at your fingertips! (BTW that number is: 1-866-429-7329). I'm thinking I should get a free wafel out of this loving review...??
