Everyone knows these guys are famous for their creamy runny scrambled egg rice plates (with shrimp or cha siu).But I was curious one morning and decided to try their breakfast, namely was in the mood for a stir fried minced beef and egg sandwich, and see if the egg in there would be as ethereal as the one served on the rice plates.I'm guessing that as a result of straying away from what they do best, just by a little bit, the experience was definitely not as good.

Everyone knows these guys are famous for their creamy runny scrambled egg rice plates (with shrimp or cha siu).But I was curious one morning and decided to try their breakfast, namely was in the mood for a stir fried minced beef and egg sandwich, and see if the egg in there would be as ethereal as the one served on the rice plates.
I'm guessing that as a result of straying away from what they do best, just by a little bit, the experience was definitely not as good. I have had the rice plates before and would gladly give those higher marks, but I do not recommend the sandwich.
The minced beef and egg sandwich, at least the beef & egg, were a bit sloppily put together for stir frying, and the egg was not whisked enough....so in the photo where you see the contents, there are lots of visible parts of egg white, indicating an uneven mix, and quite possibly a separate breakfast chef from the lunch/dinner chef who handles the rice plates (I could be wrong on this). Despite the bread being toasted, it lost its crisp quite quickly, and lacked the firmness of places like Cheong Kee (Happy Valley), its competitor next door Tai Kee (which does thin toast VERY well) , or Sing Heung Yuen's Mickey Mouse honey lemon toasted burger buns. And probably does not even measure up to Yue Kee (Stanley Street Central dai pai dong) for their rendition or club sandwich.
The hot milk tea lacked fragrance and had a slight acidity issue.
Overall this breakfast was average/medicore and not worthy of repeat or recommendation.
Stick with what they do best (scrambled runny smooth egg rice plates) and you will do fine.
