High on my list of spots was Cha Kee. Situated in the back left side, tucked away from the stampede of people, the Hong Kong breakfast spot has built itself a bit of a following online — judging by a few TikTok users — with their Hong Kong-style egg sandwiches.

I’m something of an egg fanatic. I’m the grocery shopper who beelines to the 24 egg pallets and finishes them in a week by myself, much to my partner's horror (she hides it well, but I can tell). My scrambled eggs are something I painstakingly make each morning. I’ve watched videos on techniques to ensure maximum smoothness. They’re creamy, soft and buttery and I’m proud of them. 

Well, I was until I ate at Cha Kee.
