Boom! Boom! Shake the Shack at Boomshack

It just so happens that Boomshack and Burger Circus have both opened around the same time.
I was attracted here because of the decor and tacos which had a touch of fusion to it!

Near the till, there is a fridge with American sodas.


At the far end is the kitchen designed like a food truck.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chicken waffle:
Served with three cheese blend and ranch or Southern gravy.


The chicken waffle was basically a waffle with a piece of fried chicken, bacon and sauce on top.
There are two choices of sauce: sausage gravy or three cheese and ranch.
I made the mistake of ordering the gravy because American gravy is creamy and totally different to British gravy.
Other than that, the chicken and bacon was crispy and delicious and the waffle was not too sweet.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Lazy hunters:
Edamame guacamole, garlic and black bean okra, fried tofu, Queso Fresco corn tortilla.


As well as meat, I also love vegetarian options like this one because it has guacamole and okra.
It was a moist taco because okra has some natrual occuring slime which you either hate or love!!
I really enjoyed the crunch and the taste of guacamole paired with a block of soft tofu in the middle.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
I am lamb:
Saddle lamb, harissa, pickled cucumber fennal yoghurt, flour tortilla.

The lamb was tasty and the spicy sauce that came with it had a slow kick so the yoghurt flavours came out first with the juicy pieces of lamb and then it gradually became spicier.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Brakefast:
Bacon, egg and cheese, fried potato, salsa fresca, flour tortilla


This is the best breakfast taco I have had because the potato pieces are fluffy and the cheese is properly cheesy with a lean piece of crispy bacon that gives the whole taco a complete breakfast touch!
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Beet fries:
Served with Kewpie mayo togarashi

The beet fries are coated in some cornstarch flour which can be seen in the picture.
It gave them a lovely crispy coating while the beetroot is kept juicy and moist.
They were definitely addictive!!
But be warned cooked beets will make your urine and faeces change colour so don't be shocked!
☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
I will probably be back to try the chicken waffles again and hopefully they have other meat options instead of just beef for the burgers.

Still the best Waffills in town

Since my last visit, this shop has changed so much, there is now a huge seating area.


The menu has expanded from a few items to endless choices.



They have Liege waffles which were not there before and apple filled waffles too.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Cherry waffle:
I went for the cherry waffle because I love cherries.
It was a waffle filled with cherries and it tasted amazing because the cherries were tart and juicy which were delicious encased in the waffle paired with cream.


☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Belgian Hot chocolate:

The hot chocolate came with the waffle above.
Not a fan of hot chocolate so I would have preferred tea instead.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Ma Cherie:

It was a hard choice for the second waffle because I was deciding between the Belgian waffle and the apple filled waffle, but in the I got this one because I haven't had for ages.
The waffle was light and crisp, not too sweet which was perfectly complemented by the cherries and cream.
There are other choices with this but again I love cherries so I had to choose this.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Going to try the Belgian Flemish Pork Stew and Chicken Fricassee Vol Au Vent next.

Taiwanese and Spanish flair

Espuma is an interesting place to relax, the food and drinks have a nice Taiwanese touch with waffles and fruit teas yet they serve Spanish Tapas as well.






Unfortunately I was having dinner elsewhere that night so I settled for Jasmine orange tea and the Japanese mochi waffles.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Japon:


I had to try this because it was made with a mochi base which is why the waffle is white and pretty.
It was served with so many sides: red bean sauce, icecream, custard paste and syrup.
The waffles tasted nice on its own and I loved the chewy texture due to the mochi.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Fresh orange juice with Jasmine tea:


This is the best fruit tea because you can actually taste the fresh orange juice as well as the Jasmine.
I am definitely coming back for this drink because it is not too sweet.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Coming back soon for Tapas!!!

Waffle feast

After trying the chicken tikka waffle, there were so many more I wanted to try, so had it for dinner!!


You can now sit at the counter and eat.


Again I forgot my card, so I had to get my receipts stamped.

I ordered and ate the vegetarian waffle first.


After I finished that I had the prawn because I didn't want it to go cold.


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
The vegetarian:
The box was nicely labelled.





I was glad I started off with the vegetarian waffle because it was nice and light.
It was filled with tasty lentils, cauliflower, cumin seeds and spices tasting like a samosa.
This is definitely recommended for vegetarians and Indians.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Thai prawn:




The prawn had a strong lemongrass taste and the sauce tasted like red curry which was not too spicy but the version I had was different to the one Rebecca_Red15 had because there were mainly potatoes in hers.
The one I had contained lots of green peppers, onions and a few pieces of prawn.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chili con carne:


I knew I was going to like this because of the tasty beef and kidney beans.
It was not that spicy so I could handle it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Brussels All Day "Brekkie":



This had bacon in it drizzled with maple syrup.
The mix they used for this waffle was the same as the sweet ones which has a high ratio of egg white in it. Hence the lovely light and crispy airy texture.
Surprisingly I loved it because the saltiness of the bacon and sweet syrup were delicious.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Fruit Waffle double Ice Cream Deluxe:

I liked the way the apple filling was inside the waffle because normally it is topped with fruits and messy to eat.


It would be great if the apples were not sweetened because the icecream and white chocolate shavings were sweet.
As well as apple, I am looking forward to cherry and other fillings.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Lemon Lime drink:

This was a great refreshing thirst quencher because it was quite hot in the shop.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
At the moment, my favourite waffles are the chicken tikka, chili con carne, bacon waffle and the vegetarian.

Wafffle! now at Tseung Kwan O

Surprised to see Wafffle open another branch in Tseung Kwan O because the location is quite far from central and it is well hidden.

Decor is the same but the shop is much bigger.

Tried the raspberry which was nice and chewy with chewy caramelized pieces of raspberry.

However, it was quite sweet.

WAFFFLE!
Shop B11, Basement, Park Central, 9 Tong Tak Street, Tseung Kwan O
