Eats Week: Back at The Flying Pan

Last night, we went back to The Flying Pan, but the one in Central this time.

This place definitely is a place that I find my husband and I craving for every so often.  I think it is that partial diner feel that we love so much.  It's also the great selection of food and the even greater tasting dishes that are served.

The Central location is a lot smaller than the Wan Chai one.

The Flying Pan (Central) Info:
G/F 9 Old Bailey Street
Central
24 Hour dining!!!

The Flying Pan is open 24 hours a day, so when you get a late night craving, you can count on this place.

We got our usual, incredibly small orange juices (though we upgraded one of ours to a medium).

I love the shirts that the staff wear.  It reminds me of pub quizzes, when you can win the bar's t-shirt as a prize.  Quirky.

I got the Ranchero Eggs, which was sunny side up eggs on a tortilla topped with jalapeños, cheese, tomatoes, salsa, and sour cream.

My husband got the Golden Sunset Burger with Cheese.

With our bellies filled with warm goodness, we continue giving this place Our Four Thumbs Up!

Good Eats: The Flying Pan

A good place for a breakfast, lunch, or dinner is the Flying Pan.  There are two restaurant locations:  Central and Wan Chai.  Tonight, we went to the Flying Pan in Wan Chai.

81 - 85 Lockhart Road

Wan Chai

OPEN 24 HOURS

I love this place.  When I first moved to Hong Kong, my husband and I would either opt for salad or this breakfast joint.  It really depended on our mood, but having the option of breakfast at any point of the day was and STILL is so enticing.

There are always seats available, especially when eating at 6pm.

My favorite seat is the corner seat because I can check out what's happening below, which isn't much because the City is pretty much QUIET except for the current Occupy sites.

Here's a view of the menu.  Decent prices for the amount of food that is served.  The combos are always a fabulous deal because, besides the main dish, you get (1) a small drink and (2) two sides.  The side menu consists of things like tomatoes, fruit salad, or cinnamon apples.

We ordered two cups of coffee to perk us up for the remainder of our day.  And we got an orange juice a la carte (which was too small for me!)  I sometimes wish I could order a LARGE.  Actually, I bet I could...because where on the menu does it say that all drinks come in small glasses?

Typing this...probably won't help me to remember to try to order a LARGE next time.

Our first dish (below):  Eggs Guacamole with Avocado and Salsa.

Our second dish (below):  Biscuits and Gravy.

This was such a great meal to recharge and a great place to just chill for an hour or so.

The Wan Chai Flying Pan is a bit away from the hustle and bustle of the Wan Chai night life, which makes it convenient to visit when you do need to chill.  It's also one of those infamous 2/F cafes (though The Flying Pan is on the 3/F) that you can find all over the City.  I'm not so sure what makes the 2/F cafes so infamous, but I suspect that it is due to the spectacular view of the street.
