Gough Street already had Hong Kong’s most famous beef brisket noodles. Now it has a queue for waffles too. OOOO Waffle, the first overseas branch of Taipei’s wildly popular 白狐院 (Huinyeou Waffle), opened in Central in early 2026 and brought its Korean-style, cream-stuffed waffles with it. Crisp on the outside, chewy within, and piled high with everything from dark chocolate to fried chicken, these are not your hotel-breakfast waffles. Here is what to order and how to beat the line.

What Makes OOOO Waffle Special
The signature is a Korean-style waffle with a thick, crackly shell and a soft, almost bread-like chew inside. The trick is in the batter: the kitchen folds coconut milk powder into the mix to give that distinctive springy texture, then uses French whipped cream as the canvas for the fillings. The Taipei original is a genuine phenomenon, with more than 100 flavours launched in three years and single-day sales reported at over 1,500 waffles. The Hong Kong branch uses the same original recipe, so what you get on Gough Street is the real thing, not a watered-down export.
What to Order
The menu splits into sweet and savoury, with a few Hong Kong exclusives you cannot get in Taipei. Prices start around HK$68 for the O Waffle series and HK$78 for the classic sweet waffles, with the premium savoury Hong Kong creations around HK$128.

The Story Behind 白狐院
OOOO Waffle is the international face of 白狐院 (Huinyeou Waffle), founded in Taipei in 2022 by Roro Yen and Blue Lan. The brand grew out of a personal moment, when waffles made for family during an emotional farewell lifted the mood of the room, and the founders set out to bottle that comfort. Three years later it is one of Taipei’s most talked-about dessert names, and Hong Kong is its first step abroad. The choice of Gough Street, a foodie pocket on the slope between Central and Sheung Wan, puts it in good company.
Finding OOOO Waffle and Beating the Queue
OOOO Waffle is on Gough Street, an easy if slightly uphill walk from Central or Sheung Wan MTR. Waffles are made to order, so expect a wait at peak times, especially weekend afternoons; go on a weekday or mid-afternoon for the shortest queue. While you are in the neighbourhood, you are a few doors from some of Central’s best cheap eats, including the Michelin Bib Gourmand Tsim Chai Kee wonton noodles, and it makes a sweet finish to a Hong Kong food crawl.
