The bubble waffle, or egg waffle, originated in Hong Kong in the 1950s as an economical street food, made from simple ingredients like eggs, milk, and flour. It became popular due to its unique bubble texture, initially sold by street hawkers. Its fame spread globally with the Hong Kong diaspora, gaining new popularity through social media and modern dessert shops, evolving from a simple snack to a creative dessert base. Today, bubble waffles are celebrated for their versatility and are often paired with an array of toppings to suit any palate. From fresh fruits, ice cream, and whipped cream to decadent sauces like chocolate and caramel, the bubble waffle has become a customizable treat for dessert lovers. Its ability to adapt to different flavours and presentations has made it a staple in trendy cafes and dessert bars around the world.
