Other
than egg tarts,
another tasty favorite snack are waffles, especially the kind
referred to as "little eggs" (a.ka.
eggettes, shown in photo). They are widely available steaming
hot at street-side snack booths for just a few HK dollars (a dollar
or so USD). Hot and crunchy on the outside but nice and soft inside,
it is impossible to stop at one egg!
Some vendors' eggettes are so popular that people line up to
buy them. One such place is on Kam Hong Street near King's Road
in North
Point, shown in the photo at the top of this page. Nowadays
they even have branches in other areas. One seems to be in Wan
Chai next to the Wan
Chai Computer Shopping Center. (2009.4.4)
