A
little
underwhelmed.
Typika
has
been
a
forefront
in
modern
cafe
culture
for
some
time,
we
were
in
the
area
and
dying
for
some
chicken
&
waffles.
If
you
are
after
a
contemporary
space
and
haven't
been
exposed
to
much
Asian
cuisine,
this
place
is
perfect
to
ease
yourself
into
more
interesting
flavours.
Service
was
a
little
clunky,
floor
staff
were
pleasant
but
seemed
under
the
pump,
those
in
the
coffee
area
were
straight
up
rude.
We
changed
our
seats
a
few
times
before
ordering
as
it
was
quite
busy
and
the
initial
table
up
the
back
near
the
kitchen
was
quite
cold.
We
ended
up
settling
near
the
front
windows
to
soak
in
the
sun
(please
note
we
let
the
server
know
we
had
moved
and
she
said
it
was
fine).
Menu
reads
well
and
everything
sounded
great.
The
layout
of
the
menu
is
a
little
odd
and
we
kept
searching
to
find
more
pages
with
more
options.
We
then
went
to
order
at
the
coffee
area
as
now
we
had
sat
in
the
self
service
area
(not
100%
sure
but
we
had
to
make
some
quick
assumptions).
Service
was
bare
minimum,
abrupt
and
just
poor.
We
received
our
coffees
and
they
were
fine,
a
good
cup
of
Jo.
Food
came
and
we
were
excited
to
see
how
it
was
presented.
It
looked
modern
and
different
and
tasty.
Unfortunately
our
expectations
were
let
down.
My
chicken
and
waffles
read
to
be
Korean
style
with
gochujang
sweet
sauce
(a
staple).
The
sauce
unfortunately
was
mostly
tomato
sauce/ketchup
with
a
hint
of
gochujang.
This
already
wrote
off
the
meal
for
me.
The
chicken
was
good,
a
little
underseasoned
but
crisp.
Then
there
was
the
avocado.
Avocado
belongs
in
a
number
of
dishes,
especially
a
seasoned
avo
mash
that
tasted
exceedingly
like
guac,
but
not
with
Korean
fried
chicken.
Then
the
waffles
were
an
attempt
at
a
savoury
waffle.
Again,
fine,
nothing
wrong,
but
the
corn
added
to
the
Mexican
vibe
and
the
whole
dish
just
got
thrown
off.
Suddenly
I
was
eating
something
that
tasted
like
an
average
taco,
smothered
in
tomato
sauce.
Nothing
Korean
about
it
unfortunately.
It
also
missed
the
mark
on
my
fried
chicken
and
waffles
craving
which
is
the
super
sweet
and
super
savoury
smashed
together.
Just
overall
underwhelming.
My
partner
ordered
the
dang
dang
beef
which
just
sounded
cool
and
contemporary.
What
he
was
presented
with,
was
a
rendang.
My
partner
is
Malay
and
when
dining
at
an
Australian
cafe
he
was
frustrated
at
best
to
receive
a
basic
homecooked
meal
for
cafe
prices.
He
had
been
tossing
up
between
a
few
things
on
the
extensive
menu
and
chose
this
since
it
seemed
different.
He
was
disappointed.
As
this
is
something
we
cook
on
a
night
off
for
a
quick
meal,
we
were
at
least
expecting
beautiful
meat
and
some
contemporary
twists.
But
alas,
it
was
a
pretty
average,
okay
rendang.
In
combination
with
the
below
average
service
and
the
poorly
executed
food,
I
won't
be
back
unfortunately.
The
coffee
I
might
swing
in
for
a
quick
takeaway
in
the
area
if
the
service
improved.
