| - You ever walk into a place and think: "Well this is delightful"? Sunny, tiny mom and pop shop? Delightful. Delicious smell of cooking waffles? So delightful. Over 50 different egg waffle flavours with multiple ice cream and topping options??? DELIGHT INTENSIFIES.
And of course that brings us to the topic at hand: Toast Delight, embodiment of the delightful. It's an unpredictably popular little egg waffle and rolled ice cream place on the second floor of an unpopular shopping centre. Honestly, I think Toast Delight is one of the pillars still holding up this waste of space that is a mockery of the real Langham Place in HK. Sorry, it really grinds my gears.
What doesn't grind my gears is how good these waffles are. The family that runs this place is as creative as they are friendly. It's almost as if they're challenging themselves to create the craziest egg waffles possible. HK Milk Tea? Okay, it's just flavour infused into the waffle. Real smashed ube? Challenging, yet doable. KIM CHI? Now you're crossing a line! And yet, it works.
Every egg waffle I've tried, despite its filling and flavours, is at the peak of egg waffle supremacy. The egg part is soft while the edges are nice and crispy. The HK Milk Tea/Coffee combo is probably one of the best waffles I've had, being very fragrant and flavourful. Kim Chi was the most interesting; the sourness and spiciness of the fermented cabbage worked surprisingly well with the sweet waffle. The egg part traps the kim chi so it doesn't make the waffle soggy in any way.
I haven't had the pleasure of trying their Thai-rolled ice creams or one of many handcrafted drinks yet but I'm sure they're just as good. When you see a couple as passionate as the Toast Delight owners are about their food, you just know whatever they put out would be good. Plus, just look at how photogenic everything is.
Next time you need a snack and don't mind fighting through a car park battlefield, Toast Delight is there for you. And if you can't go to them, they can go to you as they also do catering! Now you can bring their brand of delight to any wedding, birthday, or diversity awareness corporate function.
