I am in a Haagen Dazs cafe in Causeway Bay for this entry, which was a bit of a break from the Chinese cuisine I had been eating during the Lunar New Year period, and also more at afternoon tea time, rather than midday.
There was a small wait for a table due to the number of patrons that day. After we got a table the waitress gave us various menus to choose from.
My order of the Belgian Dessert Set is shown in the foreground of the picture below, which was nicely presented on white crockery. There were a couple of Belgian Waffles draped in a chocolate sauce, with a scoop of strawberry flavoured ice-cream and some strawberry and banana to garnish as well. The waffles were thick, warm and sweet enough, with the ice cream and fruit complimenting well. The ice cream was their own brand, with a creamy texture and nice wee bits of strawberry mixed in as well. Overall a very satisfactory dessert snack that was rounded off with a good cup of tea and cream.

My wife had a Paris Brûlée, shown in the background of the photo, a dish that came with three scoops of ice cream, which satisfied her needs.
The waiters are friendly and service efficient. It is clean enough, although tables are small and they can get crowded with food as shown in the photo, but you get used to this in Hong Kong.

From the Germanic - Scandic name, it came as a surprise that the chain was founded in America, after reading it up on Wiki. There are a few branches around Hong Kong so far to say I will be visiting again, albeit maybe for just an ice cream only.
I also recall them having a branch in Edinburgh years ago but that has since closed so no opportunity for a compare and contrast...
