The best places in Vancouver to get Hong Kong-style breakfast

May 27 2022, 4:23 pm

Breakfast is one of our favourite times of the day, in part because there’s so many different ways to go about it.

From a solid breakfast sandwich to a full English to a cart of dim sum, we are all about that first meal.

A traditional Hong Kong-style breakfast, called Cha Chaan Teng, consists of coffee or milk tea (or a mix of both), congee or macaroni soup, scrambled eggs, and toast – but of course there are many different variations.

No matter what kind of mood you wake up in – sweet or savoury, tired or lively – a Hong Kong breakfast will have you covered.

Here are our picks for some of the best spots in Vancouver to get an unreal Hong Kong style breakfast.

This spot serves up HK breakfast all-day, so you don’t need to worry about whether or not you slept in too late. There’s a special with two eggs, toast, beans and hash browns with your choice of bacon, sausage, or ham, as well as a “meat lovers” special with chicken steak, pork chop, or beef steak. Fat Boy is highly-rated on Google – plus, the prices are very reasonable, making it a must-try spot.
