Waffles are the warm, tasty food that we all know and love. They’re the best go-to for breakfast or a delicious snack. But can you say that you’ve tried bubbly egg waffles?

Rewind back to the early 1950s when egg waffles made their debut in Hong Kong. Restaurants didn’t want to waste broken eggs that couldn’t be sold to customers so they combined the eggs with milk and flour to make a waffle batter. An egg-shaped iron machine was built to cook the batter and give the waffle its bubbly shape.

You don’t have to book a flight to Hong Kong to experience this waffle sensation, though. On your next trip to London, make a stop at Bubblewrap, where you can indulge in this popular street snack. Every egg waffle is homemade with fresh, local ingredients. You can choose between three batter flavors of plain, matcha or cocoa. Upon your first bite, you’ll taste the thin, crispy outer layer followed by the warm, fluffy inside. The goodness doesn’t end there! Pick your favorite candy, sauces and gelato flavors to throw on top.

If creating your own waffle seems overwhelming, you can go for one of Bubblewrap’s waffle combos. Oreo Crunch has strawberry cheesecake gelato, crushed Oreo bits and salted caramel sauce drizzled on top. If you feel a savory craving coming on, then try the Avocado Egg, which has an egg and avocado bundled up in a warm waffle and is sprinkled with salt and pepper. Regardless of what your taste buds desire, they’ll be more than satisfied with Bubblewrap’s unique egg waffles!
