What is Bubble Waffle?

Bubble waffle was a street snack in Hong Kong, and it got popular in the 1950s. Bubble waffle or egg waffle is an eggy waffle (now egg free option is available) cooked on a special frying pan to form crispy honeycomb shape. It was originally made from leftover ingredients, such as eggs, flour and sugar and was broken into pieces and sold separately without toppings.

Bubble waffle appeared in London in the 2010s and quickly became an Instagram sensation. It was first being sold in markets before the founders opened their first permanent shop in Chinatown.

In fact, the founders started Bubblewrap as a school project. They wanted to invent a dessert completely different from everything had been known so far. They wanted something eccentric, something that is hot and cold, smooth and crunchy at the same time, something that has a unique combination of taste and texture.

So, they created their own secret recipe and – for the first time in London – started selling the Hong Kong-style waffle with gelato, the most different toppings, and sauces.
