The Flying Pan

The Flying Pan (beware, worse website ever) was once a really hot pan when it landed in Central. Being next to the bars and being a 24-hour restaurant, this is actually a perfect place for those who want to have a little food after an alcoholic night. However, the Flying Pan is famous for their breakfast instead of other kinds of late supper, probably most of the visitors are late drinkers who don't need any sleep till the sun rises.

The branch we visited was not in Central but Wan Chai, where there were still quite some bars in this area. Located on the second floor of an old building, this Flying Pan looked so old as if it was here for 20 years already.

Without hesitation, I got the Eggs Benedict with Salmon (or Eggs Royale) for myself, which came with salad and fruit. That was surely one big breakfast!

The egg was not bad, but the Hollandaise sauce was a little too thick, and a little sour too. The muffins were okay but the salmon was a bit too salty for me. It was not bad, and the portion was just right for me. LIke the eggs royale, the salad was a bit ruined by the sauce.

Compared to those I had in Classified, these eggs royale certainly have some room for improvement, and so does the service here. Maybe it was too early when we visited, but it was not an excuse for bad service. We were left unattended when we were checking out, realizing the waiters were chatting around one table at the end of the room. I am not sure if I am visiting again, especially when there are more and more places doing better breakfast like this, though not all of them open 24 hours. I guess that will be one selling point for Flying Pan, hopefully not the only one.
