Hong Kong - Belgium Waffle Street Food
Somewhere in Mong Kok Kowloon
So in Mong Kok there’s a ton of street food available. I guess the competition has led to diversification of food and as long as it is portable and can be served up quick, you’ve got a hot street food item. Who wouldn’t mind having a waffle as a snack anyhow? I ordered mine with black sesame. The madness here is unreal - you really feel the crush of the crowd around these street food vendors. 
This place played on the hello-kitty japanese pop theme as a lot of places in Hong Kong. It’s hard to describe how ingrained the ‘ke ai’ / cuteness of hello-kitty into the culture - pretty easy to find hello kitty keychains hanging off the keys of an adult. I wish I took a photo of it but there’s Hello Kitty Water - in a pink bottle. It was actually pretty cool and R A V E - u know what I mean?
