Man, I love a good waffle. When I'm feeling particularly indulgent, I'll hit the coffee shop downstairs @ the BH Hotel and get a Belgian waffle w whipped cream and fresh fruit on it. They give you the maple syrup hot in a sealed, single serving size glass bottle.
As for $4, I think that's what they charge for a cup of coffee. The Sultan of Brunei needs to get the billion back he sunk into renovating the hotel.
