Da ultimate fun flavoured limited edition eggettes

I rarely go to Tsuen Wan because it is really far but it was definately worth the trek for the eggettes.

Last time I tried their delicious mint chips eggettes, however it was in the summer so the eggettes were a little too hot to handle, but now the weather is nice and cool which is perfect to eat freshly made eggettes.

Found out from Facebook that there were some new limited off menu flavours which I had to try, but some were upcoming flavours so I will have to try next time.

This week there was meatballs and Chinese BBQ pork and duck, as these were savoury flavours I decided to have them for dinner.

The upcoming flavour is Tuna which I really want to try as well because the owner said there is chopped celery in it too which would give it some crunch.
They are also going to do curry which I really want to try because I went to Maria's who were supposed to have curry but it turned out to be peanut when I got there.

While the eggettes were being made, there was a lovely smell in the air.

Since my last visit, there are so many people buying soeuvenirs from this place that there are stocks of their products ready to sell.

 

 

While I was waiting for the eggettes I took photos of the awards which I did not take last time and the opening hours notice.

 

 

 

 

When they were finished, the eggettes were moulded into shape.

Eggettes filled with meatballs:

 

I tried this one first and my first impression was pizza. I love the meat sauce inside because it had a rich meat sauce taste. The owner said he created this meat taste by using the broth from boiling beef bones.
There were also pieces of onions and mushrooms too which balanced it out.

Overall both flavours were amazing and because they were really delicious I forgot to take pictures of the cross section.

Eggettes filled with Chinese BBQ pork and duck:

 

This one was my favourite, the taste was intense, there were pieces of carrot and cucumber.
The carrot was slightly too hard.

 

It was really fun eating this one because sometimes it would taste like a Chinese BBQ bun but better because of the eggettes crispyness and sometimes it would taste like the duck in pancakes with Hoi Sin sauce from China Town as there was strong cucumber taste in it as well.
The smokiness flavour in this eggette was made from boiling turkey bones.

I will be back for the other savoury flavours asap if it wasnt so far away........Both of these eggettes reminded me of obanyaki's but I prefer eating eggettes because it is fun breaking the pieces off and eating it..

Eggettes that are finally my cup of tea! @ Gu Fah Bakery

To be honest I have never been fond of eggettes because they were always too sweet, hard and empty in the middle.

However when I read the reviews, the eggettes here caught my attention when I saw pictures of eggettes with green pieces in the middle and then I found out it was mint chips inside.
As well as mint chips they have other flavours such as cinammon and raisin which definately makes it less boring.

Tsuen Wan was a bit far for me I kept delaying my trip until now.
Since I was going to go to Tsuen Wan I checked my "to eat list" in Tsuen Wan and found another eggette place and it turns out this shop is the new and bigger shop that I initially wanted to visit as well.
==============================
荃灣古法雞蛋仔 Tsuen Wan Eggette
http://www.openrice.com/restaurant/sr2.htm?shopid=56833
==============================
This new branch has lots of traditional Chinese snacks and this one is very different, they have English labelling too which is good and I like the way they have added western elements in their eggettes.
From a small joint to this bigger branch they now have a leaflet about their eggettes and products.

All their products are packaged nicely and if they had branches at the Hong Kong airport or Harbour City I think they would do pretty well.

This joint was founded by Eric who has studied in the States and before he started his eggette business, he sought consultation from the famous eggette man in Tai Hang and he also gained experience from a Chinese crepe maker in Lei Yue Muen.

That day Eric was there, he was giving samples away to people which was good, just like shops in the UK where you can try before you buy. Not many places in Hong Kong do that and in a hygienic way too.
He looks really familiar but I dont know where from but since I came quite a long way for the eggettes I asked if I try all four flavours in one eggette and he was so nice to arrange four flavours in one eggette.

While I was waiting, I tried other snacks such as the Husband cake and the Almond pie.

When the eggette arrived, it smelt so nice especially the mint and the cinnamon.

The mint chips and peanut butter drops were US baking ingredients and not the boring local brands.

The local brands taste weird and would probably ruin the eggette.
The secret of the eggette's crispiness is beer, because it has carbon dioxide, the gas makes it lighter, crisper, and faster to cook giving it a lacy crisp texture just like the theory of using beer in batter for fish and chips.
==============================
EGGETTES:

Apart from the different flavours, I liked these eggettes because the sweetness was just right and it was wholesome and soft in the middle and crispy on the outside.

==============================
Mint
I knew it was going to be my favourite and I really liked it because the mint tasted natural and the melted mint had that chocolate texture.
The mint chips used in this were Guittards mint chips
------------------------------
Raisin and Cinnamon
The cinnamon gave it a really nice smell and the raisins gave it some extra chew.
It would be nice if they had cinnamon and apple one day.
------------------------------
Chocolate chips
The taste of this one was stronger compared with the mint and raisin, but it was really nice because some of the chips were melted and the eggette tasted nice and chocolately.
------------------------------
Peanut butter
This was made with Reese's peanut butter chips but as expected the eggette texture inside was a bit dry.
------------------------------
==============================
SNACKS:

==============================
Husband cake

This was made with beef and I prefer the Husband cake than the Wife cake because it is savory and less sweet.
------------------------------
Almond pie
This was extremely buttery and flakey.
------------------------------
Green Tea roll

All these rolls were hand made hence the irregularity in shape, but the green tea flavouring was really fresh.

Improvements and suggestions:
For improvements I think they are doing well already but for suggestions it would be fun if they had more western flavours such as putting diced frozen strawberries in the eggette so by the time the eggette is done the strawberries are at normal temperature and the strawberry eggettes served with some whipped cream for dipping.
As well as strawberry, they could put other fruits such as blueberries or peaches, or even have a pina cola eggette with pineapple and dessicated coconut inside it.
I am not sure if this would work, but if they put frozen ice-cream inside so when you eat it the eggette would be warm but bursting with cold icecream.
For the peanut butter eggette I wonder if it would be possible to add banana to balance out the dryness from the peanut butter.
