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! 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.

Beijing style dumplings at Wang Fu's (Sai Ying Pun)
Wang Fu is a famous Beijing dumpling house in Central, but that restaurant is always busy and the waitresses at the door seem to shoo people away.
Anyway, spotted this shop and it was empty so went in.
The seating was spacious and the staffs were really friendly.
When I sat down, they gave me free soymilk.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Vegetarian dumplings:
My first choice was the tomato and egg dumplings but they were sold out.
The vegetarian ones were quite good and did not disappoint because the vegetables inside were tasty and had some crunch too it.
There were also glass vermicelli noodles in it too.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Smoked chicken with rice:
Although the portion was small, the chicken was finely shredded mixed with their fragrant soy sauce with spring onions.
Compared to other restaurants, the smoked chicken was not that salty but it didn't taste bland.

Gathering at Cuisine Rouge
Tried some dishes at this place because I was filming there.
The dish I liked was the fried rice which does not taste like Chinese fried rice.
Each grain of rice was distinct without the oily metallic taste.
The grilled lamb was soft but a bit too fat for my liking and the fries tastes like the ones from McDonalds.
Their Mexican wrap was not Mexican at all because there were no kidney beans or any form or chili con carne sauce in it.

Loved the rhubarb chunks because it was acidic complemented by the strawberries.

This was also bland but I loved the spinach.

Purple glutinous rice mochi with mango @ 允升甜品
At this place, they do two types of Glutinous rice mochis, one is white and one is purple.
The purple one is purple glutinous rice.
I was surprised at how big these mochis were because they were the size of my palm.
After I took a bite, I realised why they were so big because they were filled with huge chunks of mango and not the small cubes you usually get.
Mango lovers are going to love the sweet and juicy mango meat when they bite into this.
Personally I don't like mango and the durian version tastes better.

The new Belgian Waffle concept - WAFFILLS
When I was on my way to a tasting nearby, I spotted this brightly lit Waffle shop!
It's logo is distinctive, bright and bold illustrating only one thing, a WAFFLE.
The name WAFFILLS has hidden meanings in it.... Waffles FILL you up....Waffles FILLED with fillings...
Anyway, I was thrilled to see they do savoury waffles.
There are five savory waffles on the menu:
- Cheese burger waffle
- BBQ pulled pork
- Chicken tikka massala
(chicken, red pepper, red chili, garam masala)
- Thai prawn
(prawns, thai spices, tomatoes and coconut milk)
- The vegetarian waffle
(cauliflower, peas, carrots, potatoes and lentils)
Ironically, there used to be a waffle shop here called Waffle Dog but I can't remember it's exact location but it was roughly on this spot or next door.
I ended choosing the plain waffle with cream and caramel sauce.
The waffles here are different to the ones you get elsewhere because the square indents are much bigger and the thickness is thinner.
To my amazement, the taste was as light as wafer with a light chewyiness.
The sweetness was just right too.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chicken Tikka waffle:
I loved the box because it made it easier to eat without getting my fingers sticky or burnt.
It was simply delicious, I loved the structure of it because it was actually two waffles fused together with filling in the middle and not two loose waffles with filling just about to fall out.
The taste of the waffle was not sweet which was great because I am fed up with all these Asian places doing savory items with sweet breads and pastries.
They are just like the French crepes were they use proper savory bases for savory crepes.
Anyway, I loved the savoury taste and the chicken tikka filling was gorgeous in delicious gravy with pieces of onion and tender chicken and it was not too spicy either.
While your waiting, you can always doodle on their board with chalk.

Having tea in a bookstore
According to the previous reviews, the food and drinks were not really worth trying but the place is worth visiting so I went there for tea.
Books & Co. is a second hand bookshop where you can read the books there or buy them.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Video of the place:
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Two interesting books I found.
The drinks were not that impressive but fairly cheap.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Lychee red tea:
Tried this because it was red tea with lychee flavour.
When it came, I could barely smell or taste the lychee.
It just tasted like ordinary Chinese tea.
