LKK

If you think mini egg waffles aren’t your thing, then you obviously haven’t had LKK’s. The little shop stand is located on Nathan Road, a street light away from the Jordan MTR D Exit. The crispy and thin exterior with a chewy, warm, and soft interior is worth the 20 HKD, short line, and occasional grogginess of the lady workers.
LKK’s egg waffles are one of the must eats in Hong Kong. Trust me on this.

The moment I started exploring HK for snacks, I knew I had to look up places for egg waffles (egg puffs). This is one of the more popular food stand for egg puffs. As I walked down Nathan Road to find this place, I can see that there was a long ling with many people queuing for egg puffs. I can also smell the delicious cooking of the egg puffs. There was also other snacks available, but they are known for their egg puffs.
The egg puffs are cooked as you ordered, and is really fresh, hot, and crispy. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside just heaven on earth for your taste buds. I would say these were definitely great egg puffs. Many pictures of HK celebrities eating their egg puffs are posted. In my opinion though you won’t go wrong with their egg waffles. I have been here a few times already for their egg puffs, and the wait isn’t too long. It costed $ 20 HKD and is about $ 2.50 USD, so may be a bit more but definitely worth it.
Location: very busy on Nathan Road, and you may have to wait in line most of the time, but it is very fast. food stand and the service was good.
Awesome egg puffs in HK, and I personally love all egg puffs in HK, and these are just great as well! HK egg puffs are to die for!

Even though it’s been over a year since I’ve last been, I knew I was getting close when I saw a bunch of people carrying egg waffles walk past me. ~yay for context clues!~ This stand is really easy to miss if you’ve never been because it’s literally nestled between shops, but there’s typically always a line so you can identify (don’t worry, it moves fast!) There aren’t many places that sell these egg waffles anymore (WHYYYY!!!11), so I honestly don’t think there’s much competition around here, but they are definitely a lot better than the ones I’ve had in the US. They make it crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, a perfect steet snack that won’t leave you feeling gross or greasy. Although they’ve hiked the price to 18HK dollars, it’s really still affordable (at least that’s my mindset being from the states.)
If you’ve never had these before, the «egg waffles» really just taste like waffles, but super convenient, no mess, and fun to pull apart and nom on. Haven’t tried anything else from this stand, but we’ll definitely be back because who knows how long it will be until I can get my hands on this again! :(:(

If you come during the afternoon you will have to wait in line… a long line. And that’s the usual at this place, since a lot of stars come here to have the Gai Dan Zai (egg waffles), waffle with honey peanut butter, and other small snacks like fish balls etc.
It’s truly nice to see an old small traditional business still flourishing. People usually come here for the Gai Dan Zais, I came for everything. 18HKD for that is pretty expensive if you consider how cheap these things used to be years ago. But still you should come and experience it yourself.

I grew up on these egg waffle snacks in Queens, sadly these have all disappeared as of about 10 – 12 years ago and there are only a handful of stands left in Chinatown in Manhattan. When I found out my sister’s friend/​tour guide was taking us to a spot where we could get these, I reverted back to my chubby adolescence. These are the kind that come in one large waffle where you pull the «eggs» apart. I’m used to the individual ones being separated, but gosh these were really freakin’ good and moist with a crunch to it. We also grabbed the fish balls which were pretty decent. It’s literally a little stand/​opening that I totally would’ve walked right by if this wasn’t the destination.

One of the best I’ve tried! There can be long lines here so be prepared to wait. I can never resist buying some when walking on Nathan road.

To the most delicious egg puffs in the world,
Why must you remain in Hong Kong? I know you love the hubbub of Nathan Road, in your easy-​to-​miss stall at LKK, but I would totally get you a passport if you would travel here to the USA. People always tell me that it’s not the outside that counts but you, my friend, are perfect. Super crispy on the outside, delightfully chewy on the inside, with just the right amount of sweetness. It’s no wonder that there’s so many pictures of movie stars and other celebrities paying homage to you. You are worth every one of those $ 18 HKD, especially considering how those inferior imitations to you are now going for $ 12 – 16 HKD. Please don’t leave me drooling for the next 3 – 4 years.
Yours truly, me. XOXO

While refueling on free wi-​fi at Starbucks, I made small talk with 2 school-​aged girls that were sharing a table with me. I was feeling peckish (what’s new?) so I asked them what they would recommend for a typical Hong Kong snack.
One of the girls suggested I go for one of the most popular HK street snacks– «gai-​don-​jai» (eggette waffles). As soon as she mentioned it, her friend’s eyes got wide as she exclaimed, «Go to LKK! The gai-​don-​jai there are AMAZINGGG.»
There was just something about the way that she said «amazing,» that convinced me to check it out. They were both nice enough to look up the address for me and tell me how to get there. 178 Nathan Road. (I will remember that address forever!)
I knew I was in the right place because the eggy/​sweet/​vanilla aroma was getting stronger as I walked closer! Instant drooling! There was a fast moving line outside, and I was able to quickly peer into the tiny shop to see the rows of waffle molds with fresh waffles being made on the spot.
I eagerly handed over $ 15 HKD, and received my fresh, piping hot eggette waffle. I know they’re best when eaten right away, but I couldn’t help but take a few selfies with it first! They were subtly crispy on the outside, semi-​hollow, soft and fluffy on the inside, and held together by the most delicate crunchy crust. The taste was eggy and slightly sweet– perfect!
So good, that I will go on record and say that these are the best «gai-​don-​jai» that I’ve ever had. I’m so surprised the ratings here are so low… CNN also seems to agree they’re one of the best! (
)
Can there be better than this in HK?! Because there is nothing that comes close in the States… and I would gladly travel back to Hong Kong for this delightful treat!

I love the eggettes here. They are consistently crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. I also love that the batter isn’t too thick and it’s not too sweet. I usually bring visitors here.
I just recently tried their waffle too and also loved it. I was expecting it to be super sweet because of all of the stuff that’s sandwiched inside (butter, condensed milk, sugar, and peanut butter) but it was actually just perfect.
The line is usually pretty long with lots of tourists, but I think it’s worth the wait. Also, they are on the expensive side for eggettes, coming in at $ 15, but again I think it’s worth it.
