From traditional (and slowly disappearing) dai pai dongs, cha chaan tengs to Western style restaurants (and a few places that fall somewhere in between), Hong Kong’s multitude of breakfast eateries will make visitors wish it was morning all day long. Our top 10 breakfast spots (with a few brunch gems included) showcase some of Hong Kong’s most popular breakfast options and dishes.
Tsui Wah
For a hearty breakfast after a night of partying, refuel at Tsui Wah (open 24 hours) with options like tomato based macaroni soup, a satay beef noodles soup, scrambled eggs, sausage and crispy bun. Wash it all down with milk tea or ying-yong and you’re ready to (re)start the day.
One of my top spots for breakfast/late night eats after a long night of partying. – Marcus Lo
The Flying Pan

A fun 1950s style diner that serves all the favorite Western staples – omelettes, pancakes, bacon and a very decadent version of stuffed french toast.
Opens 24/7 and serving breakfast all day, The Flying Pan is absolutely essential for this city that rarely sleeps. This is the place I go when I need a dose of good ole diner-type American breakfasts. Reasonably priced comfort fare, always opened, and convenient location? The Flying Pan’s got it all checked! – Mel S Wong
Australia Dairy Company

Fast service and delicious food, but don’t you dare linger over your plate of fluffy scrambled eggs and ham noodles. Just eat and go!
Gem of a breakfast joint. Lots of local energy and the food is very nice. – Doug Stotland
Tim Ho Wan

The cheapest Michelin-starred restaurant, Tim Ho Wan turns breakfast or brunch into a feast. Come early to avoid the crowds and enjoy epic bbq buns, dumplings, turnip cakes, and wontongs.
This is the best dim sum I’ve ever had, and I spent my whole life eating dim sum. – Keane
Kam Wah Cafe

The piping hot Pineapple bun – bo lo bao – does not contain any actual pineapple, instead it refers to the pattern of the custardy topping. Order it with butter and see why this bakery is where every local wants to be first thing in the morning.
This HK style breakfast cafe/bakery is legit! My first time ever having pineapple bun with BUTTER (a cold slab stuck in the middle), flaky top, and it was delicious. – Cindy Tien
Hop Yik Tai

Everyone comes here for the the comforting breakfast rice rolls – chee cheong Fun- silky, smooth and chewy, they are served with an array of savory or sweet sauces. Slurp ‘em up!
Hop Yik Tai, is one of those popular places for HK street snacks, one of the gems in Sham Hui Po area. – Ken
Lan Fong Yuen

A Hong Kong institution and a dying breed of eateries, sit elbow to elbow with the locals and sink your teeth into a pork chop bun or crispy chicken chop ramen noodles. The silk stocking milk tea here is a unique experience.
Had a wonderful breakfast here before catching a flight to Beijing. Be sure to try the milk tea too, which is divine. – D’Maris Coffman
Honolulu Coffee Shop

Legendary egg tarts, 192 layers that achieve a crispy, flaky shell, pair it with milk tea or coffee and you’ve got the quintessential Hong Kong breakfast or snack.
If you have to eat only one egg tart during your stay in Hong Kong, make sure it’s from Honolulu cafe. The custard was creamy but not too sweet, and the crust was flaky, buttery, and just delicious. One of the best egg tarts I’ve ever had! Must try. – Peiying
Bao

Although not open for breakfast, Little Boa is our weekend brunch pick. Voted Asia’s best female chef, May Chow’s updated takes on the traditional bao are nothing short of extraordinary. Try them all and top the meal of with a fried buns green tea ice cream sandwich.
The chicken and pork belly baos are to die for at little bao. This little shop is worth a trek to as their food is made to perfection. – Audrey Lo “@TravelingAudrey”
Man Mo Cafe

Dim sum never gets old, but a contemporary spin that blends Cantonese and Western flavors, is a welcome change for a weekend brunch. Think – foie gras xiao long bao, ratatouille dumplings, duck fried risotto and seafood wontons in bouillabaisse.
This place is a must try if you like fusion style cuisine. – Jodie
