Getcher Waffles Here

n

     These folded waffles that look like edible bubble wrap are a popular late afternoon snack in Hong Kong.  I've never seen 5 or 6 of them stacked up waiting for buyers, as in this photo I took this afternoon.  Often people stand in line to get one hot off the griddle at an open-to-the-sidewalk food stall like this one on Belcher's St.  I think they cost $HK10 ($1.29) at this stall.  Your waffle gets slipped into a little brown bag (you can see a few sitting up on a shelf to the woman's right) and you nibble it out of a bag.  We pass by this stall a few blocks from our apartment just about every time we leave the neighborhood, but we catch their delectable scent at least a half-block before getting there.  I'm guessing that the secret ingredient is coconut oil.  These waffles would no doubt sell well at the MN State Fair.  They probably have just about enough calories to qualify for Fair fare.  Belcher's Street Waffles...hmmmm...might have to work on the name....
