Jas My Waffles, Rooty Hill
A long while ago, F had a craving for waffles – waffles from Rooty Hill in particular. When I quizzed F what made these waffles so special, he couldn’t quite tell me more than “oh my gawd, it’s sooooooo good! You don’t understand how good they are!”
Right. That tells me lot… and so I remained a little unconvinced just how good these waffles could be, as I’ve had some pretty awesome waffles. Sadly, his cravings weren’t to be sated any time soon.
It was almost half a year later that F’s cravings came back in full force (due to a friend gleefully posting of their visit to Jas My Waffles on Facebook). It just so happened that we had a free Sunday for F to finally indulge in his waffle cravings and I to finally experience it.
L to R: Maple Syrup, Pistachio, Flake, Hot Dog, Cheese Waffles (Sampler Pack, $11 for 5 or $2.50 for 1)
These waffles are not your typical waffles you would expect to get from say, Max Brenner. Instead, these waffles-on-a-stick have a dense yet fluffy and doughy inside surrounded by a crunchy exterior. The maple syrup waffle was simple and delicious. Due to the more doughy waffle the generous helping of maple syrup almost seemed too little as I found F wiping the paper ‘plate’ it was served in clean.
The melted chocolate is given a unanimous thumb of approval. Rich and velvety, it is the perfect base for the rest of the toppings. While the chunky pistachio bits added a nice crunch, it was somewhat overshadowed by waffle itself and the lush chocolate sauce.
The Flake on the other hand was a lot more successful as the chocolate sauce complimented the shaved Flake bits. This is a chocolate lovers’ chocolate heaven.
L to R: Cheese, Hot Dog Waffles
The melted cheese waffles ooze with flavour when bitten (or cut) into. The cheese is playfully stringy and stretchy – a perfect match with the waffle itself. This was the favourite of the picks where F actually contemplated buying another.
The fat frankfurt-hotdog waffle was a delight. The sausage flavour worked ever so beautifully with the waffle where not one flavour was lost to the other. F told me that this brought back memories of eating food in the Philippines, as this was quite a common pairing to see at breakfast.
While these waffles lost their fluffy, doughy interior to their savoury counterparts, they still retained the scrumptious crunchy exterior found with the sweet waffles.
Watching the Game... I mean, Fight
Jas My Waffles is a husband-and-wife operation with pretty friendly service and serves waffles in quite a few different forms and sizes. From what I saw, they also serve normal-styled waffles, generously accompanied with fruit, chocolate, or whatever combination the proprietor, Jaspher De Leon, has dreamt up. The waffles we had were pretty good and I have found myself thinking now and again that a cheesy/chocolate-y waffle on stick would really hit the spot.
This post is ultimately dedicated to Pacman – not the circular, yellow, ghost-eating childhood game – rather, the Filipino boxing superstar Manny ‘Pacman’ Pacquiao. Due to his defensive title fight (or so F tells me that’s what the game fight was all about), Jas My Waffles normal Sunday trading hours of 9am – 1pm meant our 2:00pm arrival would not be greeted with closed doors. Instead the store was teaming with people, though I suspect the majority there just for the fight which was showing live and complimentary to the public.
While Rooty Hill might be quite a trip for some, it is quite worth the travel out west to try the spin Jaspher has spun on the humble waffles.

OMG waffle overload. how cool!
Hotdog waffle just sounds so crazy, but some how in that good sort of way. Sounds like it’d taste better than those dagwood dogs.
If I ever find myself in those neck of the woods, I’ll have to give this place a try.
It's a lot better than those dagwood dogs =D
Definitely, I really want to try their Jas My Desserts range!!!
I think the waffle tasting plate is a good idea. This removes the need to make any sort of decision. I like that.
Haha there's a crazy selection available for the tasting plate though! I wanted to try everything! Damn limited stomach space.
Ooooohh… cheese and hot dog waffles… hmmmm they can jas my waffles anytime! KAKAKAKA
ROFL! Oh Billy… that was terrible =P Hahah
Waffle on a stick! Now that's different, and it definitely helps that they look so good too. Does it mean that they're deep-fried though?
Not at all! They were made in a hot-plate press thing (sorry, not sure what they are called).
Oohh yuummm but soo farrr :S I will have to trip out there sometime tho for the chheeesse Hee hee go PACMAN! HUA!
HAHAHA I knooooooow. Sometimes I think I'm lucky to live out way south west… this is one of them =D bahahaha
Good stuff, i work around the area and will pop by to have a look, i didnt know this place existed!!
I live so close to Jas My Waffles. They were at my nephews birthday party and it was quite a hit. Its delicious.
.-= Katherine´s last blog ..Food For The Gods =-.
Hey I went to try these out and they are as you describe!
Sydneyguyrojoe: Heheh neither did I! I guess there are perks to knowing the locals
Katherine: I didn’t realise they do catering for special events! That’s awesome =D
Ray: Haha I hope that meant you liked them =)
Hi, after my girlfriend showed me this place I was convinced that it was going to be hella good. To my great disappointment, this place was surprisingly horrible. It seems your camera has some very deceiving tricks, the last photo shows the store to be very ‘bright’ and ‘inviting’. However in reality this is not the case, first of all the suburb itself looks like a nuclear holocaust. Once you find the store, your whole perception of the place changes as it looks pretty gloomy. The service was bloody horrendous, the worker serving the customers at the register took 15 minutes to ‘finish’ off an order, meaning that before we even went into the store that customer was still being served. We waited a good 20+ minutes for our food to arrive but the funny thing was that it was just us and another group of customers who were waiting. ON TOP of this, somehow that group of customers gets their food before us even though we both ordered waffles, make any sense? You tell me. NOW we get to the food. We ordered the 4 pack of waffle sticks, the pistachio, crunchie, chocolate and the hotdog. The first and second bite was probably the best, it was quite nice until you start eating more of that doughy mixture which then gets sickening. Out of the four the hotdog was definitely the best one. Even though I say this, I was not satisfied at all. So I’ve come to the conclusion that savoury > sweet in this store for waffles. If I was to give an honest rating out of 10, it would go something like this:
Ambience – 6, Service – 2.5, Food – 6.
In conclusion, I would NEVER go back to this place. If you guys want to try it, you are better off buying a waffle maker machine and eating them because it will most likely taste the same. This is the first time me and my girlfriend have tried something off reading a blog. The next time I see something intriguing I’ll have to rethink if it is actually worth it or not.
PS: I’m from Bankstown so this trip was quite far, but distance doesn’t bother me if the food is nice or good at the least. But this place can only be described in one word – SHIT.
Hi Michael,
I haven’t been to Jas My Waffles for a while and it’s a shame to hear that you had a bad experience. Hopefully it was just a bad day in the kitchen, as we did honestly enjoy our snack here and it would be sad to hear that the quality has gone down over time.
