What is it?
This dessert loads a Hong Kong-style egg bubble waffle with the viral Dubai chocolate filling: toasted kataifi pastry shreds folded into pistachio cream and finished with melted chocolate. The filling copies the bar made famous by Dubai's Fix Dessert Chocolatier.
The Dubai chocolate craze spread across social media in 2024, and dessert shops from Dubai, where summers stay a hot, dry 35-38°C, to Seoul and London fused it with street waffles.
The waffle bubbles are crisp outside and eggy within, the kataifi crackles, and the pistachio cream is thick, nutty and very sweet.
