Waso Cafe Kwun Tong — Restaurant in Kowloon

Waso used to be one of my favourite restaurants for breakfast whenever I visited Hong Kong. This kwun tong one has just been moved to a new pace, a few steps from the old one… but my gut feeling is correct: price increase and the owner / family member is no longer there, probably it’s a franchise or anyways, once a restaurant expands , you can expect: portion of food is smaller (though still big enough for me), the soup is a little difference than before ( not bad, but there is nuance , I can tell).

I want to eat here again to try the...
