continuing on this food theme for this week, i’ll share a small but happy food experience during our trip to hong kong. we were just walking along the streets when we stumbled across this hole-in-the-wall food stand, selling egg puffs. egg puffs (or egg cakes) are basically a hong kong version of waffles that break...
