As soon as you step out of the MTR, you'll notice a crowd gathered around a small food stall, eagerly awaiting their eggstraordinary treats! While you can find similar shops across Hong Kong, Master Low Key Food Shop has undoubtedly perfected the art of crafting Hong Kong-style eggettes, or "Belgian Waffles," drawing people to wait in line for a taste. Apart from their regular offerings, their signature Golden Waffle is a must-try that you won't want to miss.
The Golden Waffle (黃金格仔餅) is definitely your ultimate guilty pleasure! Filled with peanut butter, sugar, condensed milk, and the core ingredient - salted egg yolk crumbs, this thick semicircle sandwich with a local twist of flavours is a taste of heaven. The crispy and chewy doughy goodness is full of egg flavours and surprisingly not soggy at all given the amount of spread in the fillings. The saltiness of the egg yolk perfectly balances the sweetness, making it irresistible to devour in just a few bites. Though priced at $30 per piece, slightly above average, you won't regret splurging on this treat.
What makes this treat magical though? The owner insists on timing the cooking time once the egg batter is being poured onto the heated iron, and using a dryer to blow-dry the golden exterior for at least 15 seconds before serving to ensure it's crispy enough. It proves that the tiny details make all the people return.
