Although this place is good, but IMHO, it is not worth the wait (especially if the line is down the stairs (this place is located on the second floor). Lots of tourist (Hong Kong, Japan and chinese from US/Canada). Furthermore, you must really like the simplicity of this "northern" style breakfast (the opposite of the cantonese styled dim sum). For me, I prefer either dim sum or porridge with lots of side dishes.
