3 recommended breakfast spots to try in Aberdeen, Hong Kong

"Aberdeen" (香港仔), a historic harbor town said to be the origin of the name "Hong Kong," is a sightseeing spot full of charm. From markets that retain the tranquil atmosphere of a fishing village to people living on boats and floating seafood restaurants, there’s a lot to see. If you arrive early in Aberdeen and want to enjoy sightseeing to the fullest, why not try a local breakfast or brunch in the area? Here are three recommended breakfast spots in the Aberdeen area, known for being fast, cheap, and delicious.

1. Tsui Wah Restaurant

Tsui Wah Restaurant (翠華餐廳) is a chain with branches not only in Aberdeen but across all of Hong Kong. As expected from a major chain, the quality and taste are consistently good, and Japanese menus are also available. Both Western and Chinese dishes can be enjoyed regardless of the time of day. There are value set menus for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

The most popular breakfast item is the crispy bun. It’s crunchy and aromatic on the outside, with a fluffy texture on the inside. Generously topped with condensed milk and butter, it pairs perfectly with their famously good milk tea. While you’re at it, try Yuenyeung tea, a Hong Kong specialty that mixes coffee and tea. Surprisingly, the bitterness of the coffee and the astringency of the tea complement each other in this unique beverage.

2. Maxim’s MX

The second breakfast spot is Maxim’s MX, another major chain with branches across Hong Kong. While Western breakfasts typically involve bread and eggs, in Hong Kong it’s also common to have pasta topped with a fried egg. Macaroni soup is another local favorite. It goes well as a set with items like ham and cheese sandwiches. There’s also a wide selection of rice dishes, and combining a rice bowl with macaroni soup gives you a very Hong Kong-style meal.

Both credit cards and the Octopus card (a rechargeable electronic payment card) are accepted. The prices are, of course, affordable, making it a convenient option when you want a quick breakfast.

3. Fairwood (大快活)

Fairwood (大快活) is a large fast-food chain with over 100 outlets, including one in Aberdeen. With an interior themed in the same orange as its logo, the restaurant has a simple and casual atmosphere perfect for a quick breakfast.

The menu includes cafe staples, pasta, curry, and even personal hot pot sets—an "anything goes" approach that’s very characteristic of Hong Kong. A staple affordable breakfast in Hong Kong is macaroni soup, and it’s a top pick here as well. If you’re unsure what to order, each menu item has a number—you can just point to the number to place your order. New seasonal items are also introduced regularly, so even repeat visitors will find something new to enjoy.

◎Summary

These were some of the top recommended breakfast spots in Aberdeen. You’ll also find familiar names like KFC, Yoshinoya, and McDonald’s in the area. But since you're in Aberdeen, why not try a uniquely Hong Kong-style breakfast? If the weather is nice, take your breakfast to go and enjoy it while overlooking Aberdeen's harbor—it's sure to become a memorable part of your trip.
