Fun facts: When the Michelin Guide first incorporated a street food section in their lists, they started with Hong Kong’s edition. And Mammy Pancake was picked. But, unlike what its name suggests, the now successful chain doesn’t sell pancakes but egg waffles.
Yes, it’s the humble, bubble shaped waffle made from sweet, egg-rich batter cooked in a hot griddle with round cells. Everybody loves it. Everybody. This Hong Kong original has a special place in every Hong Konger’s heart not only because it is tasty and fun to eat, but it reminds us of our childhood.
While we don’t see hawkers selling egg waffles on the street, Mammy Pancake managed to revive the trend by opening small modern shops in different parts of the city that sell many flavors, from sweet to savory. Chocolate Chips, Matcha, Coffee are popular choices. Sweet Potato, Chestnut and seasonal specials such as fruit-flavored ones are nevertheless delicious. I’d say the savory ones like Pork Floss with Sesame, Salted Seaweed with Corn, and Double Cheese give exceptional sensation and enjoyment with more complex tastes. But, of course, if you ask a local, the ultimate pleasure comes with Salted Egg Yolk.
Speaking of flavor, Mammy is said to use quality ingredients without food colorings or essences. And their egg waffles are freshly made upon order so they are always crispy on the outside and chewy and soft on the inside. So with the extensive menu and good quality of product, it is fair that the average price at Mammy is more expensive than most of the simple street food stalls.
