Gei Dan Jai 雞蛋仔: olde worlde Hong Kong style waffle

The front of the parlour was packed with people. And her t-shirt says, "HEY GUY, YOU'RE SO OUT OF VOGUE!"

Right. She was selling something so distinctively not modern.

Still, this was also, for a long time when I was a kid, my crackling breakfast, my charming lunch, my cuddly three o'clock treat and my consolatory dinner when mama not home.

Now, on days like these, with piping hot gei dan jai, I wonder what became of you...
