| - I have to say firstly that I was quite pleasantly surprised at how tasty these "egg waffles" tasted!
This place is located near the most southern entrance to the interior of the First Markham Place mall - The entrance right beside the Tracy Desserts and where there's a sign for "Shun Lee Herbs Trading Co" hanging outside.
I honestly never ventured into this side of the mall usually, but upon seeing another persons review I decided I needed to give this place a try.
In Cantonese, we would call this "gai dan jia" - Which the literal translation means "Chicken Egg'lettes". Having just written that, I guess it actually totally sounds like the name of the place - Eggettes!
I know that in Hong Kong this is a pretty popular snack on the go. I would compare it to a type of sweet egg tasting waffle for the uninitiated with this item and is classified more as a dessert item more then anything else.
But some things are truly lost in translation, so its better to just dive right in and give this place a try, as I do believe this may be a worthy evolution of the "gai dan jia".
The menu of this place is clean and simple with 9 different variations of their egg waffles.
Traditionally I have been dissapointed with getting this item, either because it comes out not crispy, or its just really doughy inside.
This place has attempted to evolve on the egg waffle by adding injected flavors into the waffle.
The batter of egg waffles is first put on the waffle maker, then depending on which flavor you choose they have a little squeeze tube of the flavor to put into each waffle crevice.
If you take a look at my picture I think it makes a lot more sense then me trying to describe it at this point.
But the key thing is that the batter is not flavored itself. The batter is still the traditional "egg waffle" flavor, with the addition of the flavoring inside.
When we were standing in front, a male worker was kind enough to walk us through the different flavors and offerings.
My other half and I ended up getting the "cheese explosion" as well as the "durian" flavor. It came out fresh and hot, with the exterior nice and lightly crispy with a very tasty creamy filling.
The cheese explosion tasted like it was almost cheesecake like to me, likely due to them using what tasted like cream cheese as well as some cheddar cheese. My other half said it tasted like mac and cheese to her.
The durian was truely durian in all its egg waffle form glory. Meaning you can definitely taste the durian, and you can DEFINITELY smell it too.
Overall, this was well worth the visit and I wouldn't hesitate to drop by anytime I wanted a nice light snack on the go while in the area.
If you have never tried "gai dan jia" before, then this place may be the best place for you first timers!
