| - On my recent trip to Hong Kong, I noticed that egg waffles were pretty much everywhere. I only ate them once and they were pretty good, though on that occasion I just had them plain.
The concoctions at Golden Bubbles are far from plain, that's for sure.
We walked in and the place was almost empty. I took a look at their list of Signature Waffles and quickly zeroed in on the Bananarama ("Original Waffle, Bananas, Whip Cream, Nutella, with a Scoop of Ice Cream").
I should note that the menu at the restaurant does not list the components that are included in the Bananarama, which is an important detail for later.
I received the elaborate concoction a short while later and it sure looked impressive. The slices of banana were artfully placed on the front of the folded waffle cone, while the Nutella was perfectly drizzled on each and every piece. The cone itself was fresh and delicious, too.
But in the center of the thing was a heaping helping of straight-out-of-a-can whipped cream (i.e. it was pretty watery). I thought to myself, "well, this is certainly a bizarre choice." My dining companion also got a Signature Waffle and his came with ice cream, so it seemed mighty odd that mine only had cream.
I checked the website when I was getting ready to write this review, and lo and behold the Bananarama *was* supposed to have ice cream in it! How the dude making my dessert managed to make such a colossal mistake is beyond me.
So yeah, it wasn't the best experience. That waffle was pretty decent, at least.
