There’s a new Bubble Waffle Cafe in the Kerrisdale area.
Fish broth was the clear winner in my books. The broth itself isn’t too overly fishy. My second favourite was the Preserved Egg broth.
My bowl of soup had the House Soup (fish broth) and I added beef, fish tofu, extra cabbage and these wonderful dumplings with flat rice noodles. This bowl is quite large and very filling!
At Bubble Waffle Cafe, you choose the type of noodles and 2 toppings. Additional toppings are cost extra. The noodle soup combo also comes with your choice of milk tea or tea (you may add extra for bubble tea).
The takoyaki wasn’t too doughy on the inside and pretty crisp on the outside.
The Fish Siu Mai was tender and fresh tasting.
We tried the cheese, matcha and cinnamon bubble waffles. The bubble waffles were nice and crispy on the outside but didn’t have too much filling in the inside. I enjoyed the matcha flavour the most.
Taiwanese Sausage was served on a stick – juicy and not too salty.
The stinky tofu is a good portion. If you love this stuff, you’d dig it! The smell is fairly mild compared to when I’ve had stinky tofu before.
The chicken nuggets are one of my favourite items. These were crispy and not too salty on the outside, a tad bit dry on the inside but nevertheless still good. It’d be great if they added the deep fried basil alongside it.
We also tried the fried shrimp balls, which were fresh tasting. They came out piping hot. The shrimp balls were flavoured enough.
The best value is their noodle soup combos, which are quite large and filling. I’d definitely come back to eat here if I’m in the area.
