Markham, Ontario's is putting a North American twist on a classic Hong Kong dessert by using creative toppings. Egg Waffle cones are a popular Hong Kong street food that feature a distinctive bubbled texture. While there are a number of ice cream shops offering the Asian-inspired cones, Toast Delight is taking the treat to the next level with distinctly North American toppings.
At Toast Delight, customers can order egg waffles in delicious Asian flavors such as rose, milk tea and ube. The cones are then filled with unique ice cream flavors such as coconut, seaweed, red bean and even pork floss. While the cones and ice cream may draw on Asian ingredients, the shop is now topping its international treats with cotton candy for a state fair-inspired twist.
The decadent egg waffle creations demonstrate how ice cream shops can draw inspiration from a wide variety of international cuisines to create unique flavor combinations.
