Beyond McDonald’s McGriddle: 9 breakfast sandwiches in Hong Kong for which you don’t have to queue up from 4am

In July, the McGriddle—sausage and egg sandwiched between two hotcakes with syrup—was introduced by McDonald’s as a summer special item on its menu, and to say that the city was abuzz with excitement would be an understatement, with queues to acquire the sandwich on launch day starting at 4am.

However, it was met with mixed reviews, but other breakfast sandwich options exist elsewhere. While the fillings and flavours may change across establishments, two key elements comprise a breakfast sandwich: some form of egg (for vegetarians who don’t eat eggs, we’ve got you covered too) and some form of bread on either end so you can pick it up to eat—sorry, open-faced sandwiches don’t count.

These are our picks for classic and unconventional takes on the breakfast sandwich to try in Hong Kong.

Rootdown: Egg sandwich

View this post on Instagram

Rootdown in Sai Ying Pun keeps things simple with their take on an egg sandwich: a generous square of egg (akin to Japanese tamago) with a slice of gouda and a handful of rocket, for health, in a soft bun. Simple flavours to start the day, but a splash of vinegary hot sauce can take it to a new level.

RootdownAddress: Shop 16-19 G/F, Two Artlane, 1 Chung Ching Street, Sai Ying Pun

Winstons Coffee: Fried egg and bacon bap

You can’t go wrong with eggs and bacon in the morning, and Winstons Coffee offers this classic combo in its breakfast sandwiches. A fried egg and crispy bacon just work so well together, with a crusty yet soft bap to sop up the yolk and grease.

Winstons CoffeeAddress: Shop 8, The Hudson, 11 Davis Street, Kennedy Town; Shop 4, G/F Rich Court, 213 Queen's Road West, Sai Ying Pun; 4 King Street, Tai Hang

Schragels: Egg ‘n’ Cheese

View this post on Instagram

While there is much debate about whether a bagel is a sandwich, technically a bagel is still bread, and when it holds together filling, that’s technically a sandwich. The Egg ‘n’ Cheese bagel from Schragels includes a fried egg, cheese, tomato and avocado, and that’s as close to a breakfast sandwich as you can get.

SchragelsAddress: 104 Jervois Street, Sheung Wan, Central

Little Cove Espresso: Breakfast toastie

If you fancy a bit more crunch from your breakfast sandwich, Little Cove Espresso has a breakfast toastie as an option, which contains a fried egg, bacon, cheese, avocado and a house-made relish. You can also customise your order with add-ons, such as scrambled eggs for some extra protein.

Guzzle: Coriander scrambled egg and luncheon meat sandwich

View this post on Instagram

Guzzle in Yau Ma Tei proudly serves creative spins on the city’s most iconic breakfast sandwich which you can find in any cha chaan teng: spam and scrambled egg. One such option includes the coriander scrambled eggs with a thick slice of spam—the idea being that the fresh herbs cut through the savoury nature of the luncheon meat.

GuzzleAddress: Shop 525B, G/F, Bell House, 525-543 Nathan Road, Yau Ma Tei

For flavoursome, Indian-inspired breakfast sandwiches, hike up the Peak and satisfy your hunger with the Rifles Roll from Black Sheep-owned spot Rajasthan Rifles. It’s a tandoor-baked naan (again, a type of bread that hold fillings is technically a sandwich) stuffed with your choice of fillings, including the likes of three eggs, bacon and honey, sausage and crushed peppercorns, served with a tomato and chutneys.
