Sorry for using a bit of a "rerun" - this is from my original comic and due to and uncooperative computer I'm repurposing it for language use.
In Korean there is a word hyuji which literally means "rest". You can add suffixes to make new words, such as hyujishil, a room where one rests, and hyujiso, a rest area (as in one off the highway). However, as I found out, it's important not to confuse hyujishil with hwajangshil, which is where you'll actually find the toilets.
And yes, they sell waffles at rest areas in Korea. I don't know why.

I can't see the comic?
Same.
But rest area waffles...those sound intriguing!
Argh, somehow it was deleted off the other website! Probably overload of bandwidth or something - should be fixed now - click to view.
"Uh...waffles?" - Hilarious.
Well, "hyu-ji" actually means "toilet paper", not "rest".
And the rest words you mentioned gotta be "hyu-gae-shil", "hyu-gae-so." But "hwa-jang-shil" for the toilets is correct :) And also, they sell waffles and a lot else in Hyu-gae-so for drivers or travelers. It's a place to stop by and have some rest, and eat on the highway.
