LONDON STREET FOOD, BUBBLE WAFFLE, ICE CREAM, CHOCOLATE, OREOS, NUTELLA, WHIPPED CREAM, STRAWBERRIES, In the early 1950s, egg waffles firstly appeared in Hong Kong and have since become a popular street snack. People back then didn’t want to waste broken eggs which could not be sold to customers, so they created the egg shaped iron machine and blended egg with milk and flour to make this meaningful and tasty waffle. We, Bubblewrapwaffle, have recreated the historical street dessert and brought it to London blended with various local elements for people to enjoy it more. Egg waffle

Transcriptions
An egg waffle is a spherical egg-based waffle popular in Hong Kong and Macau,[1] and is an eggy leavened batter cooked between two plates of semi-spherical cells. They are usually served hot, and often eaten plain, although they may be served with fruit and flavours such as strawberry, coconut or chocolate.[2] It is referred to by its original Cantonese name, gai daan jai (鷄蛋仔),[1] and in English, an egg puff, bubble waffle, eggette, pancake balls, pancake waffle, egglet, and puffle. They are sometimes referred to as Hong Kong cakes in Chinatowns across America, especially in New York.[3] One piece of egg waffle can have around 20 to 35 small round 'balls'.

Egg waffles are among the most popular Hong Kong "street snacks" and were ranked No.1 in a 100 most popular HK street snack listing.[4] They have been a favoured street snack since their emergence in the 1950s, when they were made with coal fire heating and sold from street kiosks in Hong Kong. The origins of the egg waffle or gai daan jai (which literally translates to "little chicken egg") are unknown, despite being ingrained in the memories of Hong Kong residents young and old. One story says the enterprising post-war generation created the egg-shaped mold to make up for an eggless batter, as eggs used to be a luxury. Another tale points to street hawkers who bought damaged eggs on the cheap to work them into a batter, resulting in the classic golden color of the cake. It also is reasonable to suggest that the special iron skillet used to mold the gai daan tsai is a Hong Kong take on the traditional checkered European waffle press. Today, the two related snacks are often sold by the same stall."[1] There is also another tale that it originated from 1950s, a sundry shop owner did not want to waste broken eggs and tried to add flour, butter etc. and baked in a mold.[citation needed]

Preparation

Egg batter is poured over a special waffle pan before being heated on a charcoal stove.
