| - I saw the hype on Instagram and decided to try Golden Bubbles... and I was disappointed. However, it was the opening weekend, and it is understandable there may be hiccups in operations.
We ordered taro mochi egg waffles ($7) and a mini me matcha red bean egg waffle with ice-cream ($6). Starting with the taro mochi egg waffle, it had no taro flavour, and it was made very moist and cakey (almost soggy). The mini me came in a cup, half the matcha egg waffle, matcha ice cream, red bean and a wafer. Again, the matcha egg waffle was overly moist and cakey but there was a strong matcha taste. They also didn't use enough batter cause the egg waffles were lopsided (not full - refer to my photo). We noticed after touching the egg waffles, there was a sheen on our fingers - oil?
There was a long line up to order and to wait for the HK egg waffles. The wait to make the HK egg waffles is expected and normal as there are around 5-6 waffle machines, and each batch takes a couple of minutes to heat and cool.
Overall, I think Golden Bubbles is overpriced especially for the taste and quality of their egg waffles.
