Flying Pan

Hong Kong


It's kitsch, almost untouched by Instagrammers, and huge breakfasts roll all day and night at this 24-hour faux-1950s American diner, blaring Guns N' Roses at 10am. Local and expat families flock here for brunch on weekends; the deliciously oozy, doorstop grilled-cheese toasted sandwich with scrambled egg and streaky bacon (HK$50) is probably the best-value western-style breakfast you'll find in Central.
