认识Flying pan,是因为读大学的时候身边的同学都很爱吃,还曾经与好友一同走堂到中环吃。说味道其实算不上美味,我想最大的原因只是方便吧,加上它是24小时⋯出来工作后已甚少到这里,但前阵子转了工,恰巧公司附近有一间Flying Pan,使得我久不久也会来怀缅一下过去。这天跟同事来吃个lunch,想不到它只是从骆克道的霸田商业中心搬到美国万通附近,人流却有如此大分别。还记得之前在霸田时,即使是繁忙的lunch hour也不用排队,座位任拣之余,还可以吃个宁静的午饭。但搬了新地点后,没想到竟然出现人龙,而且整个环境可以用吵得拆天来形容。等位已经等了大概十五分钟左右啊,由于用膳时间不多,我们也不敢多心,赶紧下单。等啊等,等啊等,等了足足半小时食物还未来,这时已经一时四十五分了,唯有催催单,她对我们说我们前面还有两枱,大概要等多五分钟。怎料,不断见到侍应来来往往奉餐,我们数著已差不多有十盘了!怎样算也超过两枱客了吧?结果我们的食物在两时才送到。这次点了Corn beef harsh,朋友说在香港不是很多店有corn beef harsh吃,他来的目的也是为了它,我想,这该是这店最有价值和最美味的食物吧。来这里,对我来说其实是吃回忆多于吃味道。

见到咁多正评,朋友又话好适合倾计,决定一试。menu好似好多选择,不过其实都系同一堆items既不同组合。想食三文鱼又想食波菜,谂左好耐都系要左波菜+烟肉egg benedit,如果有波菜+三文鱼就好喇另外仲可以简两个side dishes同一杯果汁。不过一切开个egg benedit都几失望……一只蛋得少少流心,一只直程全熟!!side dishes就不过不失,冇惊喜冇意外杯芒果汁就完全not my cup of juice,好甜好甜,而且系死甜朋友杯荔枝汁就几好饮晚餐时段冇乜人的确几好坐。但系想享受美食就唔多推荐喇

First time in their new location in Wan Chai, large windows, great for watching the busy city goes by. The interior design is like a typical US diner.The portion is big, it came with bread, 2 sides and juice. You need to upgrade your juice, the complementary one is only a sip for most adults. I had a garden omelette, loaded with mushrooms, tomato, gouda cheese...etc, and the flavor is just right. Great value all day breakfast place; always leaving there satisfied and happy

说起egg benedit,第一时间会想起这间,今天决定前来拜访.......看见门口,贴了一张告示,表明只招待会员,我们呆一呆,不是吧 ??!!在网上搜寻了一会,决定内进向职员查询,结果原来任何顾都欢迎,但为会要贴这张误导的告示呢?Menu确实有点复杂,用了10多分钟,才下了决定 。和友人点算了一份English breakfast和最传统的egg benedit,每份早餐包含了一杯饮品。English breakfast的卖相一点也不吸引,感觉很不丰富 。但每款食物的质素不错,特别是蘑菇和烟肉 。Egg benedit的蛋带有很重的白醋酸味,明白煮蛋的时候要加点白醋,才能有流心的效果,但醋的味道实在太强烈了 。说实在,的确有点失望,又或是之前的期望太高,才会有失望吧!

Fancying another veggie breakfast to start the holiday's explorations I wandered over to Wan Chai to find the Flying Pan. I was a little perplexed to see the 'Open 24 Hours' sign, what kind of purveyors of fried food need to remain open all day and all night? Well, upon entering it was easy to understand. The target market for the Flying Pan seems to be the beer-fugged and wine-diddled expats you can find crawling around Wan Chai in the wee hours. I felt out of place. On to the menu... Actually I found the breakfast ordering style to be really well done. Firstly you're presented with a choice of breakfast sets, then you are given a choice of egg styles (actually many choices, like six or seven I think), likewise bread, you can choose between white, brown, pancakes, bagels, croissants. Your next choice is which drink, you have a variety of fruit juices to choose from and your final choice is the additional portions allowed in your set. I chose the veggie breakfast which came with mushrooms, spinach, avocado and artichoke hearts. For my eggs I selected scrambled, for toast I chose standard brown bread and for my two additional portions I included beans and potatoes. From here on is where it all started to fall apart. The juice arrived first, it seemed like fresh orange juice and it tasted great but the portion clearly wasn't enough for a full breakfast. And then my food was served...presentation was pretty promising, they use over-large plates here which make the portions in the photos seem smaller than they are but actually the sizing is normal to large. I will go through the components:🍴 The bread - a good portion, two slices cut into triangles and 'buttered'. However the toast was pre-toasted and left to stand so it was soggy and the 'butter' was tasteless. 🍴 The egg had clearly been sitting for a while too, the outside was a darker yellow colour and it had next to no taste. 🍴 The mushrooms, I'm not sure how these were cooked, in oil or water, it was hard to tell. They had a little flavour thanks to the onions that they were served with but the mushrooms themselves were pretty flavourless. (Can you see a theme emerging?)🍴 The artichoke heart and avocado...I know I don't like avocado so I can't rate that but the artichoke hearts were unpleasant, a weird flavour, but as I haven't had them often I can give the Flying Pan the benefit of the doubt on that one.🍴 The wilted spinach was a bit depressing, it had clearly been wilting for a long time, it had a very slight spinach taste but certainly didn't seem fresh. 🍴 The potatoes...by this point I was starting to feel miserable, how can anyone go wrong with fried potatoes? The potatoes were almost ok but for two things, again, no flavour and the onions which were served with them (which were about the only flavourful part of the meal), tasted distinctly like they'd been cooked in meat fat. 🍴 The beans...it is almost impossible to screw up beans. The beans were ok (although again over-cooked), however adequate beans cannot compensate for a overall crap meal. I wanted to give up eating as the experience was not enjoyable but the price meant that I had to at least try and get some sustenance out of it. Actually I imagine that this place can cater just fine to the morning-after crowds but it will need to work harder to appease the fully sober. Before my life in HK I spent some time working in the kitchen of a large-capacity club/restaurant, we served buffet style Sunday roast dinners, cheap and cheerful. That is exactly the style of cooking to be found in the Flying Pan, large scale production with low quality ingredients, sadly the high price does not reflect the quality.
