There was nothing much in my fridge one morning so I went to the local cooked food centre for breakfast. 'Tai Kay' as it is phonetically pronounced is one of the restaurants on the top floor of a wet market building that is common in (and probably unique to) Hong Kong.
After a slight guess at the Chinese characters of the menu, I went for the "Set B" breakfast, which is the local Hong Kong cafe style meal.
I received a bowl of rice vermicelli first, with two half slices of luncheon meat placed on top. The soup base was not packed with flavour but it was an adequate enough dish.
The set meal also came with a Western style cooked egg, for which I chose an omelette that was cooked well with still some runniness in the egg.

The third part of the meal was a thick slice of toast with butter, shown below, which is available for a $5 supplement. As this was the last part of the meal I was rather full after finishing this large piece of toasted bread.

Service is aggressively friendly at first to get your business as there are about three establishments sharing the food court area. Once food was ordered it arrived fairly promptly.
This place is hygienic enough but it will not be to everyone's liking in terms of cleanliness. Toilet roll is used as serviettes here. Plates are basic plastic ware. But it is cheap and cheerful and must suits the local residents' needs as it was doing some decent trade on a Saturday morning.
