Not just waffles!

It has been my 5th year living at western HK. I am super excited of the recent opening of Sai Ying Pun and Kennedytown Mtr line! The western district has changed a lot compared to the time when I first moved in. It was considered as the older part of HK. You can find shops selling dried food, dessert shop that has opened for more than 100 years old. Ever since the construction of MTR station, a lot of these old shops have been replaced by new restaurants, the kind that you'll find in Soho, Centr

It has been my 5th year living at western HK. I am super excited of the recent opening of Sai Ying Pun and Kennedytown Mtr line! The western district has changed a lot compared to the time when I first moved in. It was considered as the older part of HK. You can find shops selling dried food, dessert shop that has opened for more than 100 years old. Ever since the construction of MTR station, a lot of these old shops have been replaced by new restaurants, the kind that you'll find in Soho, Central. As a person from the 90s, I am slightly saddened as the old shops close but I am excited to see how the new shops lightup this old town with blasting energy. 

One day afterschool my friends and I decided to try out the Kennedytown station and explore the food around. Waffling beans immediately caught my attention. I LOVE waffles, pancakes, all that. And waffling beans has the right name to catch my eyes. It was around 6 and we felt like having early dinner. We were about to leave as we thought it was just a cafe selling waffles. Refused to leave just that, I checked out the menu by the door and I was so happy that it served food! real food for dinner that is. So we decided to have it a go!

 A lovely place to chill after a long day of school/work. Have a cuppa coffee and let the acoustic music to unwind you. The restaurant was playing "Just the way you are- cover by anthem lights" when I walked in.
lovely.

 I really appreciate the interior decor of the restaurant- especially the use of lighting with paper lamps of special geometrical shapes and the neon light that says "take your time" in reverse.

 The best mushroom cream soup i've ever tasted! Soup base was thick but not by cream but by all the tiny bits of mushroom. I can smell the aroma of mushroom as soon as it was served on my table
 

Mushroom arancini: $88, Rate: 7/10

 Highly recommended by the restaurant. You can hardly tell what's inside the fried ball until u open it! To my surprise, it is mushroom risotto! coated with bread crumbs before it gets fried!! I've never had anything like that before. Worth a try! but i prefer the old traditional mushroom risotto ^^

 Ribs that had been brewed in coffee for HOURS before it is served, giving a nice, soft texture. I couldn't taste the coffee in the meat. It was a bit bland without the sauce. Interesting combination with waffle which can be improved by making the waffle more fluffy.

 Always my fav spaghetti to order, i like the flavor solely by humble ingredients of olive oil, garlic and cheese. The spaghetti was slightly overcooked and bland. 

Dessert:
7th heaven, $68, rate 8/10

 Finally came my highly anticipated dessert!! Recommended by the restaurant was 7th heaven. With strawberry waffle and belgium chocolate flakes. I like that this dessert wasn't too sweet. The chocolate flakes add a nice texture and slight bitter-sweet flavor. Waffle was cripsy on the outside but not soft enought inside. >< overall i was happy with this dessert but i would be happiER If there is a scope of chocolate/vanilla icecream ^^ hehe talk about being greedy eh?
Drinks:
Apple and pinapple juice, $48, 7/10

Refreshing drink by an interesting combi of apple and pineapple juice! Didnt know that they come together so well

Rodenbatch Belgium craft beer, $64, 8/10

 Perfect beer for ladiesss. If you're not a typical beer person because of the bitterness, this one is for you
Beer with slight sweet/sour plum like taste. I failed to find this from local supermarket in HK / \ I'll be back for this!!!

Scrimshaw USA craft beer, $60, 6/10Not a beer lover but this one is easy on the ladies. Not bitter at all! 

Overall: 7/10 Recommend waffle dessert, belgium beer and mushroom soup!
