Original 'Gai Daan Jai'There was a queue forming when we eventually found the place. After some 10 minutes of waiting, we finally had our 'Gai Daan Jai'! With great anticipation (after the religious ceremony of photo-taking was done), we started ripping 'balls' of it out and popping into our mouths. Served piping hot, the surface was extremely crisp and crusty, complemented by a moist, soft and fluffy interior. The balance in textures was enhanced by the noticeable 'egg' smell, which was another
There was a queue forming when we eventually found the place. After some 10 minutes of waiting, we finally had our 'Gai Daan Jai'! With great anticipation (after the religious ceremony of photo-taking was done), we started ripping 'balls' of it out and popping into our mouths. Served piping hot, the surface was extremely crisp and crusty, complemented by a moist, soft and fluffy interior. The balance in textures was enhanced by the noticeable 'egg' smell, which was another tick on our score sheet. The 'ball' had pockets of air within, so it did not taste quite as dense and what I particularly like about it was the slightly 'chewy' texture on the inside that seemed to have some elasticity.Verdict: 8.0/10
Chocolate 'Gai Daan Jai'
We were only going to settle for the original version of the eggettes until repeated orders for chocolate 'Gai Daan Jai' from seemingly regular customers caught our attention and we decided to order one to try. Batter wise, it tasted as good as the original version with the main difference being the pockets of 'ball' filled with thick chocolate sauce. This was an interesting twist and one which might appeal to children more, considering 'Gai Daan Jai' itself being a childhood snack.Verdict: 8.0/10
Do expect a queue, seemingly at any time of the day. You would be issued a number slip while you wait along the main road outside the stall. The lady packing would then give a shout out as soon as your order is ready. While it was a good rendition of the classic eggettes, we had reservations if it was the best in town.张贴
