February 24, 2014 - After our lunch at Harana in Torres St., we decided to head in the office as my mom attends a manager's meeting while in my case, my quest was to try the Hong Kong Waffles at Mam Bebs. After seeing the posts of my friends eating the waffle, I had the urge to try it out!

| Hong Kong Waffles |
Hong Kong Waffles originated of course in Hong Kong. Fellow blogger and owner Andrew told me that it was the old lady who made such waffles and it's actually a street food that is so popular. It's why Mam Bebs is the first one to offer Hong Kong Waffles here in Davao.

| Hong Kong Waffles with Chocolate Chip |
What made this waffles unique? You can clearly see that it looks like an embossed waffle and what I like about this waffle are the circles inside which is also the reason why I want to try this waffle. They recommended me to try with Chocolate Chip. So, I chose the one with the Chocolate Chip since it sounds delicious with the Hong Kong Waffle. I applied the "Rule of Thirds" in the picture above. (Sorry for the blurry picture.. I didn't know till I found out in the PC.)

| Closer look |
This version of Hong Kong Waffles has a Chocolate Chip sprinkled with confectioner's sugar which made the waffle look more presentable. When this was served into my table, I didn't expect that it would be big but I'm happy with it!
Price: 35 Pesos.

| Little circle! |
The Taste:
I'm actually satisfied on the taste for a 35 Peso waffles. The Chocolate Chip went very well with the waffle and unlike pancakes, I had big slices of it and it was a delight! The bonus was the confectioner's sugar which added a sweet flavor to the waffle. To be honest, I enjoyed eating the waffle since it has little circles with it (hehe!). A perfect treat after a good lunch.
 |
| Milk Tea |
Andrew also offered me to try their milk tea since I'm a milk tea lover, this was a perfect thirst quencher and partner to my Hong Kong Waffles. Of all the milk teas I've tried, this version of milk tea has a genuine taste which I was searching for years! Nowadays, milk tea is now incorporated with other flavors to the point that the taste of milk tea is completely diminished. If you're searching for a true taste of milk tea, Mam Bebs is the destination.
 |
| And... I'm done! |
Well, it's obvious that I loved the Hong Kong Waffles and the milk tea! If you're searching for a unique and fancy waffles, have a taste of Hong Kong at Mam Bebs! They're still thinking of new flavors to incorporate with the waffles to have more choices. A big THANK YOU to Mam Bebs for the snacks and the milk tea. I will be back for sure.
Adieu! Thanks for reading!
I wish we had that in Manila.. I am a big waffle person and I get my fix from Pancake House
ReplyDeleteThose waffles look tasty, I would love to try them when I get the chance.
ReplyDeleteFood prices are all reasonable and affordable. I wonder how the milk tea tastes like... if it's Hong Kong then it might be different from the usual ones sold in milk tea stalls.
ReplyDeleteIt looked like pancake. But, I guess that's worth a try, as I can see in your empty plate in the last photo :) Soon, they will bring a branch / outlet here in Metro Manila.
ReplyDeleteFrom the pictures alone, the waffle looks so crisp already. It must be really tasty having the actual one.
ReplyDeleteThat is a big waffle for 35 pesos, looks tasty too. I hope a branch in Metro Manila will open soon. That's would be a great snack/treat. :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks really yummy! I think I can finish 2 of that. Hehe
ReplyDeleteThat waffles looks delish and I like that it is affordable for only P35.
ReplyDeleteLooks good! And at P35 the price is not bad. Can't wait for them to have a branch in Manila.
ReplyDeleteThis is good for snacks or breakfast, and it looks yummy! Very cheap for 35 pesos only. They have a branch in Manila area?
ReplyDeleteWOW! Empty plate means full tummy. This waffle is a must-try. I love blueberry cheese cake but this one looks yummy-licious!
ReplyDeleteIMO, I think Blueberry and Mangoes are healthier alternative to tandem with hong kong waffles. I will try this out when I visit Davao.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm....love this kind of a waffle. I was so much looking forward to get and eat here after all I heard about this.
ReplyDeleteYou have to try it! The waffle can't wait! hehe! :D
DeleteI've tried this kind of waffles in HK. I wonder where can I buy this here in Manila.
ReplyDeleteWow it's really affordable and seems like you got more than what you paid for. I hope they will have one here in Manila, particularly the south area so I can visit and try it out as well. :)
