Dorothy So set her alarm clock extra early for takeaway breakfast treats you can eat at the office.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, it’s also often the most neglected. But you don’t necessarily have to skip out on your morning meal to be at work on time—here are your best bets for “grab-n-go” meals you can enjoy and wake up to back at the office.

The Cha Chaan Teng
Sui Kee
Local cafés offer a slew of breakfast items you can take away in a small baggie and the best thing about them is, no matter where your office is, there’s bound to be a decent one nearby. Sui Kee at the Sheung Wan market has friendly service (the last thing you need in the morning is a rude, smartass waiter to ruin your day), dirt-cheap prices and, most importantly, wicked food. The golden-brown, egg-soaked French toast is fried to crunchy perfection on the outside but remains light and fluffy on the inside, and it gets a little easier to function in the morning with every butter-and-syrup-doused bite. The toasted sandwiches are the other stars of Sui Kee’s breakfast show and they come with a generous pile of filling, whether it’s fried egg, corned beef or luncheon meat. Order a cup of their famous silky-smooth milk tea on your way out and there you have it—a no-fuss and yummy western breakfast, Hong Kong-style. Shop CF17, 2/F, Sheung Wan Municipal Services Building, Queen’s Rd., Sheung Wan.

The Burger Joint
Monster Burger
The breakfast burger is a beautiful thing but if you’re tired of the same old egg McMuffin, give Monster Burger’s morning sandwiches a try. The Admiralty branch of Monster Burger offers four breakfast options from 8am until 11am, the most popular being the make-your-own-burger selection. We chose the cheese, lettuce, pepper ham and scrambled egg combo on multigrain. The wholesome sandwich tasted like an American breakfast in portable form and was satisfyingly delicious. And for an average of $25, which includes a free hot or cold drink, Monster Burger’s breakfast sets are really something worth smiling about in the early morn. D2-D3, UG/F, Far East Finance Centre, 16 Harcourt Rd., Admiralty, 2865-6680.
