After my insane craving for HK style Egg Waffle which led me to paying AUD$5 at Patterns Cafe for Hong Kong style egg waffles. The insanity continues as I craved for HK waffles after seeing my doctor about my tummy issues a few weeks ago.
He told me to go on a FODMAP diet, essentially cutting wheat, fruit, beans, lactose etc and gave me some brochures to read. I figured since I haven’t actually READ the brochures, I can still eat wheat. And what do I crave for? HK WAFFLES!
U might ask, what is the difference between HK waffles and normal waffles? Well well well! HK Waffles are typically thinner, folded in half and drizzled with the goodness of a peanut butter, condense milk and sugar mixture… Omg drools!
Anyhoo, I knew that this type of HK Waffles is available at Pink Cafe on Swanston st, so I dropped by after work to try it.
“It’s gonna take 15 mins”, the salesperson told me. Fair enough, I am willing to wait to satisfy my craving. This place offers hot dogs and have a greasy looking popcorn machine. I reckon if it wasn’t for my craving, I would have just rolled my eyes and walk off.After almost 10 mins I was asked whether I wanted peanut butter, condense milk, sugar or all three in my waffle. I thought the condense milk and the peanut butter should be pre mixed but anyway, I told her I wanted everything but just less sugar.
My waffle came out not long after, in a traditional brown paper bag, HK style. The waffle was huge, more like the Western style waffle. On my first bite I noticed that as they did not pre-mix the peanut butter and condense milk, the peanut butter is slightly thicker and tasted less like a HK waffle and more like a western style waffle with peanut butter.

I would still say it was good, and better than my HK style egg waffle experience at Patterns. Definitely worth a try to satisfy your cravings. 6.5/10

Hey thanks for commenting on my blog earlier yesterday, and thanks for letting me know you created a spoonback.
Interesting that you say that their waffles are better than patterns cafe. I haven’t visited patterns as yet, and I might visit it later back.
I have walked pass pink cafe a number of times, but based on my bad experience the first time, I haven’t found myself a reason to walk back into the store. perhaps Ill visit just for those waffles

Hi Peach
The waffles at Pattern’s is different from Pink Cafe though… the ones at Pattern’s are HK style egg waffles whereas Pink Cafe is HK style waffles (confusing isn’t it?)… but still, it’s definitely better
