Mammy Pancake 媽咪雞蛋仔 Mongkok (Hong Kong, CHINA) ★★★☆☆

After my lunch buffet at The Place at Langham Hotel Mongkok, I thought I would stay stuffed the rest of the way this afternoon until dinner time but evidently that was not the case. 

Just happened to run into this new outpost of Mammy Pancake (媽咪雞蛋仔) in Yau Ma Tei and suddenly, I was craving for some tasty eggettes. Speaking of Mammy Pancake, they're really being very opportunistic here. After being named in the 2016 Michelin Guide as one of the 23 recommended street food places in Hong Kong, they are quickly expanding their territories which has seen their number of stores more than doubled over a relatively short span. 



They are one of the many "feel good" stories in Hong Kong right now and of course, I got into the act by laying my hands on these sweet potato eggettes ($22). Crisp on the outside, soft and fluffy. The purplish stuff inside tasted a lot like sweet potato purée. This stuff is very addictive.
