| - I saw a lot of buzz on the durian egg waffles so my durian loving self HAD to drag my butt to FMP, for the first time in years. It's in that corner that nobody visits so no people = it's a yes from me.
The line was very short but to my surprise, the prices were kind of insane. It was $6 for a durian egg waffle and around $4-5 for the other ones. Their profit margins must be insanely high.. knowing that pacific mall waffle places charge around $3 and still bank, this place is definitely taking advantage. Making that batter is dirt cheap + a few authentic ingredients, which if split up doesn't cost much either. In comparison to many other egg waffle spots in Markham, this might not last long once the hype dies down because other places sell them for cheaper.
The taste was strong in the durian and it was fresh, which I loved. Very yummy but it wasn't crispy on the outside like I had hoped, but instead more soggy like the cheaper egg waffles I've bought before. My favourite egg waffle spot is toast delight - they know how to make theirs perfectly each time. Don't get me wrong, this place was good but not the BEST I've had. I'd definitely grab it again, if I was in the area and in the mood for a durian treat but if I'm in no rush, I'd drive down the road to toast delight.
They have many other flavours too - matcha, seaweed/pork floss (yyuuUuUUUm), cheese, orange chocolate? It's not a bad addition to fmp, that's for sure. The man working was very friendly as well and took his time explaining things to other people that had questions.
