五十：Magnifico Hong Kong Egg Waffles

While strolling in Robinson's Metro East, my friend and I noticed this stall. I got a bit ecstatic upon approaching it because I knew it was something familiar to me. It was a stall selling Egg Waffles or Eggettes as some would call it. It's a famous snack in Hong Kong and finding out that someone sells it here made me reminisce the days when I was in Hong Kong.

I talked about Egg Waffles in my other post: Hong Kong Street Foods. Egg Waffles or Eggettes are waffles similar to the sundae waffle cones but they are circular in shape or look like little eggs hence the name.

In Hong Kong it is sold as a street food and almost all street food stall sells it. The price is about 10HKD or 1USD. 

There is nothing really special with the egg waffle except for its shape and maybe the variety of flavors. I was able to taste the regular one, chocolate and black sesame in Hong Kong and those that I have tasted are hollow inside. Magnifico made a twist and they have egg waffles with filling.

Magnifico have eight varieties and four of those are filled with either chocolate, cheese, mango or strawberry. They also sell fruit teas with bubbles or what we call sago.

L-Hong Kong premium iced tea and  R- Raspberry iced tea

My friend ordered the premium Hong Kong iced tea and cheese filled waffles and I ordered the raspberry iced tea and chocolate filled waffles.

I liked the tea because it was not too sweet and I like the tartness of raspberry. I also liked the cheese filled waffles because of the salty sweet flavor and I liked it better than the chocolate one but both tasted good. My friend said the premium iced tea  had a citrusy flavor if I remember it correctly.

What I did not like about the waffles is that, since it was filled with some liquid, it became soggy and the ones I tasted in Hong Kong were crispy though maybe if I bought the plain ones they will stay crispy.

chocolate filled waffles looked like frog eggs

It was a nostalgic and fun experience especially because my friend jokingly said that the mascot is cute but kind of looks like a poop so it was like a cute poop in her opinion and for those with trypophobia (Google search if you do not know what it means), you might feel very awkward or itchy looking at the waffles. LOL!
