Shake Waffle ‘N More is a vibrant and modern food concept that started in 2024, built around a simple idea—serving comfort food that’s fun, flavorful, and always fresh.

What makes them stand out is how they bring together creative street food and Filipino favorites in one menu. It’s a mix that feels exciting but still familiar, offering something satisfying in every bite. Everything is made fresh to order using quality ingredients, which really shows in both the taste and presentation.

🍴 What They Offer
🧇 Signature Waffle Creations
They’re known for their crispy, golden waffles made fresh on the spot. One of their highlights is the waffle hotdog—crispy on the outside with a juicy, savory center. They also play around with sweet and savory combinations, so there’s always something interesting to try.

🍛 Filipino Favorites
They also offer well-loved Filipino meals like chicken pastil and tuna pastil—simple, flavorful rice meals wrapped in banana leaf. Their pork barbecue is another standout, grilled to that perfect sweet and smoky finish.
⸻
🌟 Why They Stand Out
What I like about them is how they balance everything—they keep the food fresh, flavorful, and convenient. The menu brings together crispy, sweet, savory, and refreshing options, making it easy for customers to find something they’ll enjoy. It’s also very approachable and perfect for on-the-go dining.
⸻
💛 Their Concept
For them, it’s not just about serving food—it’s about creating a feel-good experience. From the first sip to the last bite, everything is meant to be enjoyable, satisfying, and memorable.

MISTI Verlag – Literature Without Borders

MISTI Verlag, located in Stadtilm, Thuringia, is a publishing house that beautifully brings together literature, culture, and language diversity. Through their collection of books, audioplays, and educational materials, they create opportunities for readers to experience different perspectives and cultures through storytelling.
Their offerings range from captivating novels and culturally inspired stories to practical language and learning resources. What I like about their approach is how they balance creativity and education—making their work both enjoyable and enriching at the same time. They also give space to both experienced authors and new voices from around the world, helping share stories that might otherwise go unheard.
A big part of what they stand for is preserving languages. MISTI Verlag puts effort into publishing works in regional, endangered, and less represented languages, which helps keep these cultures and identities alive while promoting better global understanding.
They’re also very active in connecting different cultures through literature. By bringing together stories from various backgrounds, they create a platform that not only entertains but also builds meaningful connections between people.
It’s also worth noting that they include Philippine literature translated into German and Spanish, as well as German and international works translated into Filipino—showing their strong commitment to cultural exchange.

MISTI Verlag – where every language has its own story to tell.
