How To Make Hong Kong’s Famous ‘Egg Waffles’
As COVID-19 restrictions linger on, everybody is looking for fun new ways to pass the time. Last week, I took a look at a popular mini waffle maker that is sure to put a smile on any kid’s face. This week, I want to venture a little further down the beaten path, taking a look at something from the far corners of the world that just might fit well into your morning routine.
The kitchen device I’m referring to is called a bubble waffle pan. It is used to make so-called “egg waffles,” a treat native to Hong Kong.
Hong Kong egg waffles are so named because of their shape; as you can see, one waffle resembles a collection of dozens of miniature eggs. That unique shape creates opportunity. Egg waffles can be enjoyed akin to a traditional waffle breakfast, or those cavities can be used for special fillings. In Hong Kong, you will often see vendors serving an egg waffle in the form of an ice cream cone, topped with foodstuffs as delicious as whipped cream, fresh fruit, and chocolate.
In the past decade or so, novelty waffles have become increasingly popular. For example, you can get waffles made with the shape of pretty much any Disney character. Probably the weirdest waffle maker I’ve seen produces mini vehicles as its output:
All these gimmicks aside, it is time to embrace the traditional. Hong Kong’s bubble waffle makers traces its origins to the 1950s, back when the Fragrant Harbor was the way it was depicted in “Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing.” Life may have been simpler then, but the waffles were no less tasty.

In 2022, Santa hats are out. Silly turkey hats are in.
I was on Amazon looking for things to do over Thanksgiving with relatives (eventually landing on the brand new game Christmas Categories) when I came across this:
Kangaroo Plush Thanksgiving Day Roasted Turkey Hat Tan — $8.95
My first thought was that it creates the perfect opportunity for someone in the family to recreate the classic Monica turkey head scene from Friends:
Then I realized that there are many ways you can have fun with the turkey hat Thanksgiving. When you play games, you can decide in advance that the loser has to wear the turkey hat. Or perhaps you can start a tradition that whoever carves the turkey each year gets to wear the turkey hat. The possibilities are endless!
No matter how you are spending the holiday this year (with funny turkey hat, or sans funny turkey hat), the We Know Products team wishes you a very happy Thanksgiving!
If you go on Amazon and search for “handheld massager,” you will find dozens and dozens of clones of the same $100 massage gun. My immediate reaction upon seeing this was that there is no longer any innovation in the massager industry. Instead of actually investing in R&D to come up with more advanced ways to help customers, massager companies seem content to copy one another and compete on price.
One company gives me hope. That company is NAIPO, a well-known massager brand whose stated mission is to help people all over the world “Find Well-being.” NAIPO’s latest handheld massager features a brand new design that provides added value for the user. While it is still a percussion massager, its sleek comfort-grip handle grants access to otherwise inaccessible areas of the body. It also features 5 interchangeable massager heads so that you are able to treat each acupuncture point with the best possible massage.
This attention to detail creates a truly customizable experience. After a workout or just a long day at work, you can choose from 5 different speed levels and 5 different working modes, from gentle relaxation to vigorous, deep-tissue massage. By virtue of the extended front grip, you can give exactly the right type of massage to previously neglected muscles all over your body.
A common complaint about percussion massagers is the noise level that can make it awkward or even impossible to use in public. The new NAIPO handheld massager is different. Unlike its competitors, it provides amazing results with only a single massage head. This has the twin effect of reducing noise levels and making it lighter and therefore less unwieldy, a huge plus especially for older users.
The NAIPO XF-5120 handheld massager will be available for purchase soon, and at $52.99 it is inarguably cheaper than similar products on the market. You get your very own either at NAIPO’s own storefront on naipocare.com or on Walmart.com. Stay tuned for more updates!
