OMG. Have you guys tried these before? Yesterday, we took a out to San Gabriel (an area East of Los Angeles with a large population of immigrants from China and Hong Kong) to get some Hong Kong egg waffles at a little spot called Fresh Roast.
We got the regular egg waffle filled with chocolate. They pretty much taste like waffles and pancakes had a baby in the shape of jumbo packing bubbles. You can pull them apart and just pop those suckers right in your mouth. They are just SO FUN to eat.
We also tried a green tea (matcha) waffle filled with coconut which has a nice texture and tasted more savory then the sweeter chocolate version. It was warm and chewy in the middle with light crispy edges. And really just a nice, fun breakfast to have.
If you want to try and make them yourself, it looks pretty easy if you have the right pan. I found this one from Williams-Sonoma that looks perfect and makes me want to try them at home (like right now). Or, next time you're in the LA area, check out this little spot!

I just saw a vendor selling these at the Brooklyn Flea! http://wowfulls.com/
Stupidly, I did not try one, but now I definitely will. Did anyone else think the last picture was a latke waffle? Could be delicious…
I never knew what these were called, but they do have them at Dim Sum in the Dallas area Chinatown. They are soooooo good!
Eggettes! So good when they are fresh and warm!
I loved these when I was vacationing in Hong Kong!
I still call these eggettes!
I love Hong Kong egg cakes! But they’re supposed to be hollow 🙂
If you do end up making these, take pictures and show us!! Maybe you can make something colorful with them!! Yummmm…
I love egg waffles. They are my fave! Thank you for sharing this. I will be sure to visit. Always love your food posts.
I always get these down Chinatown in NYC! they are light and airy! There are a number of different street carts, but the tastiest are from a cart on Canal St run by two women who have the “batter-flip-cook-bag” system down pat! I will only buy from them (and I’ve tried them all!) It’s like, $1/bag of (I think) 20 tiny “egg” waffles. I would love to find a spot herein NYC that offers different flavors/fillings! Those look delish!!!
These look so yummy! Will make sure to give these a try in Chinatown NYC! 🙂

There is an ice cream shop in Orange County that makes these waffles and uses them in place of cones – http://instagram.com/cauldronicecream
