Here are a couple of regional works featuring everyone's favorite dessert! These were shot entirely here in the Philippines but published for our neighbors in Indonesia and Thailand with their respective local sweets!

Wuffwich

Some shoots are exceptions though! The team was able to sample these delectable waffles right after they were photographed!

Catch them in your favorite mall!  [supsystic-gallery id='16'] Production Credits Client: Food Asia Corporation Photography: Paulo Navarra
