Did you know? The very first street food selection in the Michelin Guide began with Hong Kong, and the spotlight shone on Mammy Pancake. Despite its name, this thriving chain doesn't specialize in pancakes, but rather, it excels in creating delicious egg waffles.
Imagine a waffle, but not as you know it. Picture a bubble-shaped delicacy, crafted from a sweet, egg-rich batter, cooked to perfection in a hot griddle with round cells. This isn't just any waffle, it's a Hong Kong original, revered for its fun, unique shape and delightful taste. It holds a special place in the heart of Hong Kong, offering a nostalgic bite of childhood with every piece.
The sight of street hawkers selling egg waffles may be rare, but Mammy Pancake has successfully reinvigorated this delicacy. With modern, inviting shops scattered across the city, a plethora of flavors awaits, ranging from sweet to savory delights. Tempt your taste buds with popular choices such as Chocolate Chips, Matcha, or Coffee. Indulge in the unique Sweet Potato, Chestnut, or seasonal fruit-flavored variants.
For an adventurous palate, savory options like Pork Floss with Sesame, Salted Seaweed with Corn, and Double Cheese offer a complex, indulgent taste. According to locals, the ultimate satisfaction is found in the Salted Egg Yolk flavor.
Quality is at the heart of Mammy Pancake. Every egg waffle is freshly made upon order, ensuring a perfect texture - crispy on the outside, chewy and soft on the inside. With an extensive menu and impeccable quality, it's no surprise that the average price at Mammy Pancake is a notch above typical street food stalls.
Experience the authentic taste of Hong Kong in every bite at Mammy Pancake. It's not just a meal, it's a journey into the heart of Hong Kong's culinary heritage.
