Where are some places to get western chinese breakfast? The Boss and Golden Oscar is the only two places I know that has breakfast at decent price.

By breakfast I mean egg, toast, choice of sausage, bacon, ham. A bowl of noodle of vermicelli and choice of drink like milk tea, coffee, etc.

Golden Oscar is the cheapest I found. It's like $7. The Boss is close to $10.

[Traum]

Cafe Loyal on Bridgeport & No. 5 has stuff ranging from $7 to $15+, but the parking there is shxt.

I seem to remember Alleluia Cafe in Richmond being quite affordable as well, but I honestly haven't been there for a while.

[fliptuner]

I go to M Cafe in Coquitlam on the regular. It's been consistently good ever since they opened a few years ago. Prices are relatively cheap.

[whitev70r]

Lido in Richmond is the bomb .. but you must be able to read and speak Chinese.
Copa Cafe?

[ZN6]

I fuckin' love Lido. gets my libido going with that chunk of pure fat butter in that pineapple bun. satay beef instant noodles and dual eggs and fried spam and toast. Lido for libido. I'd rub a bit of that butter on my nippurus. Order the satay beef on the side of the noodles in a bowl. they give you more sauce and more beef. Life hack. Shit is so good I would put some on my hand and spank one off.

Angel Cafe has a decent breakfast but it's kinda dirty. Same deal, eggs, side meat, frenchtoast then bowl of pasta or noodles with a drink (cold or hot is the same price).

[Traum]

Lido is good, but it is easy to get bloody expensive.

[gilly]

Honolulu by kingsway and joyce. I think its better than Oscar. They have the best french toast. Try it.

You know they have a English menu right?

[jjson]

Kingspark in crystal mall. They have all day breakfast but if you order before 11am I believe it's $7 or under.

[whitev70r]

Haven't been there for a while but all the good combos and specialties are reserved for those who can read the strips of paper on the wall!

Would have to disagree with this. One time I ordered it, and there was NO "gaiya" filling in it. Then I ordered it again on a different occasion, and this time, there was a minimal amount of it.
:rukidding:

The French toast at the Boss (@Metrotown) is far better than Honolulu.

[m3thods]

I go to My Cafe in Coquitlam on the regular. It's been consistently good ever since they opened a few years ago. Prices are relatively cheap.

Do you mean M Cafe?

M Cafe is probably the only choice east of Burnaby. Combo A+B is just under 10 IIRC. And their french toast isn't bad. My wife loves it but I'm not a fan because I prefer just making breakfast myself. This is coming from someone who can walk to M Cafe lol

[SkinnyPupp]

Is Happy Date still around? That's where I used to like to go but I haven't been back in 10 years so I have no idea what's what anymore LUL

Their new location on Kingsway (near Honolulu) opened earlier this year. I *think* their old Richmond location is still there?

Yeah, M. Satay beef vermicelli + Western breakfast or ribeye, eggs and French toast.

Btw they jacked up the prices last month, after they replaced the menus.

French toast with the combo? Everywhere else, they just give you toast or the "chan-bao".

[fliptuner]

They charge extra

Honolulu has definitely stepped up their game ever since Happy Day/Date moved into the neighbourhood.


Any place in Mount Pleasant? Ever since the restaurant side of Kams Bakery sold, there's nothing similar in that neighbourhood anymore. And the new place that took over isn't serving the same items.

[Traum]

Well... that is certainly good to hear. I'll give their French toast another try then.

Mind you, I never thought that Kingsway Honolulu was bad (in general). It's just that I thought their French toast was a ripoff.

[pherio]

Their Breakfast Boat is pretty decent as well

Mmmm Lido

[hchang]

Damn haven't been very often ever since moving out of Richmond.

Used to go Kam Do when they were still open. Had the best Wife cakes too.

Now go to 1+1 (where e-canteen used to be) every now and then for breaks.

Anybody know of any good places in North Delta / Surrey / Ladner / Langley?

[supafamous]

My go to is Big Thumb on Kingsway between Knight and Fraser. About $9 for an A+B combo.

[hirevtuner]

I miss Kam Do back when it was open...my usual spot is Lido & Cafe Loyal when I'm in Richmond
Bostons & Angel cafe is good since it's close by for me
worse one is Oscars, average food for but expensive prices

Kam Do is gone? How about Silver Tower formerly known as Golden Award?

Missing those Midnight Goldens back in the day LUL

Kam Do was the first HK cafe I went to in Richmond. My gf (who I have now been with for 20 years!) dropped me off there when she went to class at Kwantlen. That's where I discovered the glory of Baked Cutlet Pork Chop on Rice, and theirs was still one of the best I ever had.

Silver Tower still going strong.

[Verdasco]

i prefer maxims over the boss in chinatown

lido is good, but expensive, and have to read chinese or know what you want to order before you go if u dont read chinese

happy cafe is good before 11am for the breakfast menu, egg, fruit, french toast and noodles

[see.lai]

Kam Do was probably the best .. $10 and you get toast, large drink, soup and entree ( was really big too )

Now I just go to Silver tower (most consistent)

[TOS'd]

I heard Silver Tower no longer offers paid refills, you use to be able to pay like 50cents for another cold milk tea refill.

[Gerbs]

^ didn't know about that.

[ae101]

Does food courts count?

Parker place food courts pretty good, food makes some pretty good ham egg sandwhich

I use to go to kam do for breakfast (we mostly do lunch and dinner)

Curious, do u guys ever make your own hk cafe breakfast

[TOS'd]

^ didn't know about that.

I only heard from a friend. I haven't been out in that area recently to confirm for myself though. Unless they just didn't want to bother giving them a refill, haha.

Ask for the English menu!

Sate beef on instant noodles and a butter pineapple bun :sweetjesus:

[gilly]

^ They have butter pineapple bun there? Omg gotta check it out!

[Derek_N84]

Best one in Vancouver IMO (best milk tea too! and 2nd place egg tarts imo again)

[Teriyaki]

And where would be no. 1!!

[Derek_N84]

Michele Bakery in Kerrisdale :nyan:

[guurl]

Angel cafe on Fraser

[Verdasco]

sorry but how do ppl suggest angel cafe?


not sure if you guys are chinese suggesting angel cafe but ive been to plenty of hongkong cafes and angel cafe is the bottom of the bottom

dirty as fuck interior, food is garbage, place is old and outdated, nothing special about anything!




went there in high school like 10 years ago and started questioning the restaurant.....

went there to bring my mom a couple years ago, was bad...

went there couple months ago as a last resort because of the location and said to myself never again



please if anyone wants to try it and never been, do NOT go

[Traum]

sorry but how do ppl suggest angel cafe?

The place looks a bit old, and the floor is not the cleanest, but I'd say for these 2 things, it's no worse than places like Honolulu (on Kingsway). In fact, I'd almost say the somewhat oily / greasy floor is kind of like a hallmark of HK tea restaurant / cafes.

As far as food goes, taste-wise, I'd say it's par for course. But their portions seem quite generous to me. In fact, I'd say their 3-piece choose your own item has the most generous portion of any tea restaurant that I can think of.

[Teriyaki]

Speaking of dirty/greasy floors. We all talk up Kam Do, but are we all forgetting how that hallway to the back parking lot was like walking on ice every time? It was so greasy they should be giving out medals to everyone that manages to make it through without incident. Oh, and their bathroom sinks, like c'mon, it's been leaky for years!! I still miss Kam Do.

[keifun]

Another one I like to go to is BT Cafe. But they open later at 9am.

[mr_chin]

For an HK/chinese cafe, greasy floor is the norm. The utensils are also sometimes greasy or unclean. You have to clean the utensils with your cup of tea, like the outdoor cafes (dai pai dong). I don't know if it's on purpose or maybe it's a tradition brought down from China.

As long as the food and milk tea is good, I don't care.

[supafamous]

Swung by Happy Day today on Kingsway/Joyce for their breakfast. A+B for $8.95. Pretty good stuff - I think I'll go back again (I live nearby).

[extracrunchie]

I miss kam do :(

[hchang]

Kam Do was the best bang for buck at the time imo

Too bad they got out of the restaurant business

The owner ran for Richmond City Council and lost, now opened up Kam Do plaza but no restaurant or anything... Looks like just land they lease out... Plus the bakery by the shoppers drug mart

[Obsideon]

Silver Tower is still there and serving until 3am lol, late night baked pork chop hits the spot!

[ZN6]

Whoa, is that late night or early breakfast? What spot does it hit? did you go into food coma? :fuckthatshit:

Details, mang, details.

Use to frequent Chinatown a lot in my younger days since my Dad had a store there. Maxims was one of my preferred places to visit too. Then one day, I saw a rat bolt off from one booth to another. The constant reminder that there could be a family of vermin right beneath me gave me the heeby jeebies. I've never been back since. BabyRage

Ugh, Chinatown. I dreaded that place ever since I was a kid. No Chinese restaurant there ever made me yearn to go back there.

To this day, I only ever go there for Phnom Phen and even that was a disgusting restaurant back in the day before renovations. They had that teal colour inside and walls were stained. There used to be a Hon's underground. I hated the fuck out of Hon's.

What about New Town Bakery ... Burrows loved it.

So did coach Willie. You can see his absolute joy in the pictures they have up with him :fullofwin:

Jokes aside I love Newtown. I can rotate between asado and bola bola without getting sick of them. Throw in a little sweet egg crispy omggg so good.
