Breakfast in the west and east tend to differ quite significantly.
Whilst sometimes there is nothing better than tucking into a slice of toast or a bowl of granola… when I travel east, I struggle to resist the urge to grab 豆浆，油条 and 锅贴.
What is your favourite Chinese breakfast and why?
I’m so sad to see you didn’t write 蛋饼 （dàn bǐng）!
They’re basically like little omelettes turned into wraps with various fillings (I usually go for tuna/corn or ham/cheese) and it pairs really well with an iced 花生牛奶 (peanut milk) - this is my go to on the LTL student lunches in Taipei!
Here’s what a typical 蛋饼 looks like:
Also love these to be fair. Too many to mention, right?!
Did you ever try these in Shanghai, Hannah?
Those are the best!! My favourite is made with egg, cheese and basil, topped with a little bit of sweet(?) soy sauce and it’s perfect.
I personally believe 油条 don’t have any culinary interest, just air and calories 
sorry Max!
But coupled with a dip in a hot 豆浆 and the game changes 
I wonder what the white liquid is. Is it milk or soy milk?
It’s soy milk, Ha. In Chinese this is called dou jiang (豆浆)
We’ve been too busy enjoying our Michelin recommended Chinese breakfasts over here in Taipei
Ahaha now this looks cool can’t lie!
I will eat anything for breakfast, as long as I can use my kuaizi.
I actually find eating chips with chopstick extremely convenient 
Except when you’re trying to get through a deck of Skritter … which holds the distinct advantage of still being able to multitask between using your thumb and index finger for snacking, while keeping the pinkie or ring-finger for writing …
But if you’re just watching TV, eating with chopsticks has the advantage of limiting your consumption – a bag of chips will last you two episodes instead of one!
Missing these right now. Can’t wait to come back east and get my fix.
Any fans of Luo Bo Gao (Turnip Cake) here?
It is a savory snack that has a slightly crispy, pan-fried thin outer layer and the insides are very soft.
I have it with soy sauce with a dash of red chilies, hits home every time!
Good call, big fan of 萝卜糕.
Used to have this with my Dim Sum when living in Hong Kong 
Ohh the radish cake!! Very popular choice at the breakfast place for students in Taipei 
one of my favourites
I love the radish cake! At my regular breakfast place they also serve it with a thin scallion omelet on top, with a little bit a soy sauce on top it is sooo good
