You have to line up for 30 mins. But its very nostalgic to see how it is done the old way. Just don't expect that it will taste different from the modern way.

Might have to wait for a while to get yours as the owner is making one at a time and the queue could be long, ask the owner nicely whether it is still available before queuing. The egg waffle is crispy and taste original without artificial flavoring.
