Having the time for breakfast is a luxury. We were so happy to start each day with a full breakfast. This time I stayed in Central, where the options are a plenty so we got to eat something different each day.

1. Café de Coral 

No trip to HK is complete without CDC. You may laugh but I just love to start my trip with their coffee, fish filet and scrambled eggs. The combinations are endless!

2. Honolulu Café  檀島 (and any other 茶餐廳)

Another staple is the HK style cafe which I never put much thought into, but upon returning to CA, I realized even the most random place is better than here. Wanted something more filling before hiking so I opted for macaroni with shredded chicken (rare combo!), sunny side up eggs and a soft bun. We also shared the classic pineapple bun with butter. 

3. Tomato Beef Macaroni 茄牛通 @ 勝香園

I’ve passed by this place the last few times I was in HK but never tried ‘cause of the long line and I’m not a big fan of macaroni. Thanks to my friend for bringing us here – pleasantly surprised!! The macaroni is different from the usual – thicker and slightly chewy, in a thick, flavorful tomato soup. Can even order half portion! The milk tea and condensed milk bun were good too.

4. Old style Dim Sum @ 蓮香樓

5.      McDonalds & Congee – Egg McMuffin is always soft & better in HK and good for a quick option. Congee is another must-have and a good conclusion to our short & sweet HK stay.
