How it's used

This street snack is iconic for its grid pattern and soft, cake-like texture, distinguishing it from the crispier Western-style waffles. It is almost always served folded in half, which makes it easy to hold while walking. The combination of peanut butter, condensed milk, and sugar is the classic, non-negotiable standard for a traditional experience.

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with 雞蛋仔, which are the small, spherical egg-shaped puffs. While both are made from similar batter and sold at the same stalls, they have distinct textures and shapes.
