Usually when it comes with waffles or even pancakes, almost anybody would think of it as breakfast food only. But waffles as a snack? In Europe, it is a totally different situation! Augustin Peiffer, the man behind Augustin's Waffles, teamed up with City Super to bring these pleasant aroma, tasty Liege (Belgium) waffles to Hong Kong! This decision was based on the "Best of Belgium" event at City Super back in 2005. Since the unveiling of Augustin's Waffles at that event, City Super now host these delicious waffles at the Times Square (Casueway Bay) and New Town Plaza (Shatin) City Super outlets.

To bring you the best traditional Belgian waffles, fresh yeast and smelted caramelized pearl sugar are used to make the waffles on the spot! Everytime you walk by the Augustin's Waffles booth, you can't help but notice the pleasant aroma of the waffles. For $15 HKD a piece about the size of adult male's hand, it really isn't bad! I suggest you to wait for the freshly cooked waffles instead of the ones that are already cooked and put on the side. Even though they reheat the waffle on the waffle maker for the ones placed on the side, I think the ones right off the waffle makers tastes much better because it's toasty, the texture and slight heighten sweetness. The ones reheated gets a bit dry which makes the eating experience dull. So make sure you wait for the ones that are still cooking!
