Hong Kong has always had many different characteristic snacks, curry fish balls, pan-fried stuffed three treasures, and so on are all familiar snacks to everyone. However, with the development of the city and the progress of the times, many traditional small shops of characteristic snacks have gradually declined, forced to transform to cater to the market or disappear, so when people want to find the taste in their memories, they often find that it is no longer the same as before. Today, I hope to recommend a good egg waffle and egg roll shop to help everyone find the taste in their memories.
A little historical background
Egg waffles and grid cakes are common street snacks in Hong Kong. The characteristic of egg waffles is that one side is hollow and crispy, while the other side is cake-like and soft, while grid cakes are similar to Western pancakes, but with a crispier exterior and added sauce.
Egg waffles and grid pancakes originated from 1950s Hong Kong. At that time, grocery stores added flour and butter to egg batter in order to avoid wasting cracked eggs, then poured the mixture into molds to bake. Through continuous improvement, special molds were designed for egg waffles and grid pancakes, recipes were refined, creating legendary street food specialties.
In traditional production, when the cake batter made of eggs, sugar, butter, flour, and milk is ready, a little butter or vegetable oil is spread on the honeycomb-shaped iron mold for easy demolding, then the cake batter is poured into the iron mold and baked on charcoal fire. If making checkerboard cookies, spread butter, peanut butter, and condensed milk after baking, then add a small amount of sugar.
In recent years, in order to save costs and maintain safety, many eggette and waffle makers have switched to electric stoves, and have added innovative fillings or methods, such as pairing with ice cream or adding chocolate to the cake batter, enhancing the taste.
