Breakfast, often known as the most important meal of the
day. You need a hearty breakfast to kick-start your day that’s for sure! Today,
I will be sharing about cha chaan tengs in Hong Kong that serves some of the
best HK style breakfast. These eateries are often very crowded as both locals
and tourist flock there every morning to enjoy the best breakfast the city has
to offer. Visitors do take note that waiters and eatery staff are often
impatient, rude and have little time entertain queries as they buzz around the
store to serve the morning crowd so do browse through the menu while queuing
outside so you can order immediately once you get a seat. With that little
setback out of the way, let us start on my recommended list!
Australian Dairy Company
Situated a short distance away from Jordan MTR, this
breakfast joint really does serve some to-die for scrambled eggs! The eatery is
well-known for its scrambled eggs & steamed egg pudding with milk is a must
try for all travellers out there. Daily breakfast sets offering toast,
scrambled eggs, milk/coffee/milk-tea and a serving of macaroni are the most
popular. You can add on a serving milk pudding at HKD$25. Set prices range from
HKD$26- HKD$34.
The scrambled eggs certainly didn’t disappoint us. The eggs were
soft and fluffy. Every mouthful left a strong buttery after taste. My favourite
way of savoring the eggs were to put them between two slices of lightly
toasted bread. Are you perhaps drooling right now from just imagining the eggs?
My friend ordered the almond egg pudding. Texture of the pudding was smooth and
silky. The rich blend of almond and eggs gave rise to a unique taste. I am not
a really big fan of almonds so I didn’t really like it so much.
Overall, this was one of the most satisfying meals I had on
the trip so do drop by for all those egg lovers out there!

Kam Wah Cafe
Pastries, pastries, pastries. Hong Kong, a city famed for
its Egg Tarts & Bo Lo Baos (波萝包). For this entry, I will be sharing where to
find some of the best Bo Lo Baos the city has to offer. A 5 minute walk away
from Prince Edward MTR station, this Cha Chaan Teng serves some delicious piping
hot Bo Lo Baos! Some of you may be wondering what are Bo Lo Baos, also commonly
known as pineapple buns. Do not be mistaken, the buns do not contain any
pineapple!
The soft fluffy
buns have a sweet crispy crusted top. The thick slice of butter inserted inside
the bun melts from the heat of the bun which enhances its flavour. The Bo Lo
Baos are priced at HKD $9 each. The buns also come in a variety of
combinations, with Cha Shiu filling or a pork cullet inserted within the bun.
The outlet is also famous for its Eggs Tarts so do give them a try!

Lan Fong Yuen
Lan Fong Yuen, one
of the oldest traditional Cha Chaan Tengs in HK. It started operating in 1952
and rumour has it that beverages such as Yuen Yang (a combination of condensed
milk, tea and coffee) and Stocking Milk Tea originated from this eatery. The
store is famed for its award winning pork chop buns and condensed milk butter
buns. They have two outlets, one situated near Central (Main) and the other
near Tsim Sha Tsui (Branch). Sadly due to time constraints, we only managed to visit
the one at Tsim Sha Tsui.
In my honest
opinion, the food was pretty average. The pork chop bun tasted like any
hamburger I ever had but the condensed milk butter buns were surprisingly good.
Crispy and sweet, the bun definitely satisfies your sweet tooth! Lan Fong Yuen
(Main) is still worth visiting for its ambiance. The rustic beautiful storefront
gives diners a feel of nostalgia, as if we all have time travelled back in time
to the 1950s. It is an experience not to be missed!
