This is my final stop for my Bubble Waffle hunt. It's one of the most established stalls for its bubble waffles and dragon beard candies, and I'm so thankful for their existence because dragon beard candies are pretty much extinct in Hong Kong. However, their bubble waffles never really impressed me but I'm here today anyway trying to recall why I didn't like them.
First of all, it was really greasy. Secondly, the texture was inconsistent throughout. Some bubbles near the end were super crispy but it tasted like fortune cookies, and the bubbles on the center had substances inside but they were a bit spongey.
Thirdly, the waffle was not fragrant - either some vanilla, custard, or butter flavor would be nice but none of that was noticeable. What's present is the slightly stale greasy scent... Finally, the whole thing is a bit sweet and savory. I don't know. The waffle costs $4.50 which is now below market pricing in Vancouver, but the whole thing just doesn't remind me of what an authentic Hong Kong style bubble waffle should be like.
Just stick with their dragon beard candies. Those are authentic!
