Green Waffles

Green waffles are not a St. Patrick's Day treat, they are pandan waffles. After having a green waffle for dinner Friday night, I'm still not sure what pandan is or how to explain the flavor. I wasn't paying enough attention. The flavor is subtle and it's tough for me to get beyond sweet to describe them. Maybe it was banana-y in the starchy sense? Perhaps a little nutty?

My sister asked me to pick some up at a bakery in San Jose, no where near the cube that I occasionally visit. She sent me this link: http://www.yelp.com/biz/century-bakery-san-jose so I would know where to go. I was glad the bakery had so many positive reviews. Especially because I went after work and it took me 45 minutes out of my way. These waffles were tasty, but only worth sitting in traffic for if you don't normally drive to work. Or, perhaps if they bring back some sort of childhood or vacation memory. Or if you owe your sister a favor. I go way out of my way for good foccacia or croissant, etc. But I have no reference point for these waffles. Tasty yes, but maybe for some people there is more backstory?
