Whenever I’m craving a comforting Hong Kong-style breakfast, Tsui Wah is always one of the places that comes to mind. Famous for its cha chaan teng (茶餐厅) dining experience, Tsui Wah serves a variety of classic Hong Kong food, from hearty noodle soups to crispy toast, and its iconic Hong Kong-style milk tea.
Tsui Wah’s breakfast menu includes Hong Kong-style wonton noodle soup, macaroni soup, toast sets, scrambled eggs, buns, and much more, making it difficult to decide what to order. Luckily, they offer a Mini Noodles Series available daily from 8am to 11am, allowing diners to enjoy a smaller portion of their signature noodle dishes for just $4.90. It’s a great way to sample more of the menu.
Things Ordered at Tsui Wah
To experience Tsui Wah’s classic Hong Kong breakfast, we ordered a good mix of their popular dishes and beverages. Our spread included the Crispy Bun with Sweet Condensed Milk, Toasted Luncheon Meat & Scrambled Egg Sandwich, Continental Breakfast Set, Luncheon Meat & Egg with Instant Noodles, Wontons Noodle with Soup, cup of Hong Kong-style Milk Tea, Yuan Yang, Ovaltine, and a freshly baked Egg Tart.
The Crispy Bun with Sweet Condensed Milk was served warm with a crispy, golden exterior and a soft, fluffy centre. Drizzled with sweet condensed milk, it was simple yet incredibly satisfying.
The Toasted Luncheon Meat & Scrambled Egg Sandwich is a classic Hong Kong cha chaan teng favourite. The bread was nicely toasted, while the fluffy scrambled eggs and savoury luncheon meat made for a hearty and comforting combination.
For those who enjoy a more substantial breakfast, the Continental Breakfast Set offers a balanced meal with a variety of breakfast favourites, making it a great choice if you prefer a Western-style breakfast. Tsui Wah’s Continental Breakfast Set is perfect if you’re craving a hearty Western breakfast. It includes a juicy grilled pork chop, chicken sausage, fluffy scrambled eggs, baked beans, and a soft bread roll, offering a satisfying combination of flavours.
The Luncheon Meat & Egg with Instant Noodles is another Hong Kong comfort food staple. The springy instant noodles paired perfectly with the fried egg and savoury luncheon meat, creating a simple yet satisfying meal.
The Wontons Noodle with Soup featured plump wontons filled with juicy prawns, served in a light, flavourful broth that was both comforting and delicious.
To complete the meal, we enjoyed a cup of Ovaltine, a nostalgic drink that’s always a favourite for breakfast, together with a freshly baked Egg Tart. The Egg Tart featured a flaky, buttery pastry with a rich egg custard filling. While the pastry was nicely crisp, I found the custard a little on the dry side and not as silky smooth as I had expected. Nevertheless, it was still a pleasant way to round off the meal
Besides the delicious food, I couldn’t help but fall in love with the cute tea cups. Their cheerful design brightened my morning and was a lovely little touch that made the day begin with a smile.
Hong Kong breakfast isn’t complete without a drink. The Hong Kong-style Milk Tea from Tsui Wah was rich, smooth and aromatic, with a well-balanced blend of robust tea and creamy evaporated milk. We also ordered a Yuan Yang, the classic combination of Hong Kong milk tea and coffee, which delivered the perfect balance of bold coffee and fragrant tea. For something more nostalgic, the Ovaltine was rich and comforting, making it another excellent breakfast choice.
