Master Low Key Causeway Bay 低調高手大街小食

Master Low-Key 低調高手大街小食 (Causeway Bay branch) has quickly become a popular destination for those seeking a taste of classic Hong Kong street food. Known for their egg puffs (雞蛋仔) in Shau Kei Wan, their Causeway Bay location offers a delightful exploration of the city’s iconic HK-style waffle (格仔餅).

Freshly Made, Crispy Perfection

Unlike the familiar, fluffy breakfast waffles found in the West, Master Low-Key’s version has a crisp, golden exterior that encases a light and airy interior. Their secret-recipe batter boasts a rich flavor with a subtle sweetness, and each waffle is cooked fresh to order. This ensures a warm and satisfying experience, with each bite offering a delightful interplay of textures.

A Symphony of Sweet Toppings

Master Low-Key doesn’t shy away from indulging the taste buds. The signature HK-style waffle topped with a variety of classic toppings. Melt-in-your-mouth margarine, creamy peanut butter, and a touch of condensed milk add a layer of richness and sweetness. A sprinkle of sugar finishes the dish, creating a symphony of flavors and textures that is both familiar and uniquely Hong Kong.

Grab-and-Go Convenience

Master Low-Key’s Causeway Bay location caters to the fast-paced nature of Hong Kong life. While there are a couple of high tables within the Indo Market, the true charm lies in enjoying your waffle fresh off the griddle. The staff even offered to cut the waffle in half for easy sharing, although the deliciousness might tempt you to keep it all to yourself.

Beyond the Waffle: A Repertoire of Delights

While the HK-style waffle is their undisputed star, Master Low-Key offers more than just this golden treat. Their original egg puffs, which garnered them fame in Shau Kei Wan, are also available in Causeway Bay. They also come in a variety of flavors, both sweet and savory, offering a delightful complement to the waffles. I personally always like to go with the classic ones.

The Verdict: A Must-Try for Street Food Enthusiasts

Master Low-Key’s Causeway Bay location is a haven for those seeking a taste of authentic Hong Kong street food culture. The freshly made waffles, with their perfect crispness and decadent toppings, are an unforgettable experience. I know it doesn’t sound very healthy to eat the HK-style waffle (I felt a bit guilty too), but Master Low-Key has made this HK street food in perfection that it’s a must-try for everyone!
