Mochi Waffle Heaven at The Gula Lab, Potong Pasir
#summervacay The Gula Lab is a hidden gem in Potong Pasir that quietly impresses with its chewy Korean-style mochi waffles. Tucked inside a cozy, sunshine-yellow shopfront, it’s mostly a takeaway spot with just a few stools — but the waffles more than make up for the lack of space.
Each waffle is made fresh to order, with a crispy outer layer and chewy overall. We went for the half-half option and chose peanut butter and matcha — a sweet combo that’s perfect if you can’t decide on just one flavour. The peanut butter was rich, smooth, and nutty, while the matcha cream had a mellow bitterness that balanced things out. Both sides were filled generously and made for a very satisfying bite.
This is definitely one for those with a sweet tooth. The creamy fillings and soft mochi base come together like a dessert sandwich, sweet without being cloying, and just the kind of treat you’d crave in the middle of the day.
There’s a nostalgic charm to the place too — the shop used to be a fruit stall run by the owner's father, and that sense of family warmth still lingers. Whether you’re popping by after lunch or in the mood for a chewy, indulgent snack, The Gula Lab is worth the detour.
