Crème Brûlée

Yesterday, I finally made my first Crème Brûlée. I found a recipe from BBC goodfood. They have really nice recipes for all sorts of dishes and detailed cooking steps. But still, I usually go to Youtube to find a proper demonstration video. The dessert turned out to taste really great!

Waffles

Last week, Mum and I had an afternoon tea at Sweetology after shopping at Festival Walk for half a day. We tried the Matcha Crème Brûlée and the Strawberry Waffles.

Sweetology (Festival Walk) - Matcha Crème Brûlée (HKD 50)
Address: Shop UG-22, Level UG, Festival Walk, 80 Tat Chee Avenue, Kowloon Tong 

The red beans are quite sweet so they also provided you with a pot of nice Matcha to neutralise the sweetness.

Sweetology (Festival Walk) - Strawberry Waffle (HKD 75)

This waffle reminded of the same waffle I had in Dazzling Cafe earlier during my birthday. 

Dazzling Cafe (The One) - Strawberry & Ice Cream Waffle (HKD 90 + HKD 15)
Address: Shop 22, L3, The ONE, 100 Nathan Rd, Tsim Sha Tsui

Sweetology is a Western restaurant and Dazzling Cafe is a Taiwanese restaurant. Dazzling Cafe has a better version of the dessert. With an extra 15 dollars, you can request a texture level-up. The waffle is more chewy on the inside and more crispy on the outside. 

Sweetology’s waffle is too bland. The dried strawberry on top is sour which affects the overall blending of taste. But of course, they have a difference of 30 dollars. 

Bingsu

Bingsu has been a great hit in Hong Kong since the Korean wave sweeps across Asia. Korean restaurants take up the whole Kimberley Street in Tsim Sha Tsui, where somebody now calls it the “Korean Street” instead.

NORAYO K.Cafe (Tsim Sha Tsui) - Oreo Chocolate Bingsu (HKD 55)

Address: 2/F, Southgate Commercial Centre, Granville Rd, Tsim Sha Tsui

NORAYO K.Cafe is one of the many Korean restaurants which located near Kimberley Street. Besides Bingsu, it has many other Korean traditional food which makes it a nice place for a proper Korean meal. 

Hanbing (Harbour City) - Oreo Snow Ice (HKD 75)

Address: Shop 4201K-4202K, 4/F, Gateway Arcade-Harbour City, Tsim Sha Tsui

Hanbing is a Korean Dessert Cafe located in one of the biggest shopping mall in Hong Kong. Its Oreo Bingsu is less sweet and has less Oreo than that in NORAYO K.Cafe, but it has one more ice cream at the bottom. By the time you reach the bottom, the ice cream has already melted with the tiny ice flakes floating in the liquid. 

Hanbing (Harbour City) - Mango Snow Ice (HKD 78) 

Hanbing (Harbour City) - Citron Smoothie (HKD 30)

Hanbing mainly focuses on dessert, though it also provides other Korean snacks, such as Topokki, Carbonara and sandwiches.
