Egg Waffle

Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes

An egg waffle is a spherical egg-based waffle popular in Hong Kong and Macau, made from an eggy leavened batter cooked between two plates of semi-spherical cells. It is usually served hot and often eaten plain, though it may also be served with fruit or flavors such as strawberry, coconut, or chocolate. It is known by its original Cantonese name, gai daan jai, and in English by names including egg puff, bubble waffle, and eggette; one piece typically has around 20 to 35 small round balls.
