Also the train at HKG will not operate after 6, it will be a long walk to Pier end. So I guess you might want to visit one of the Cabanas at Wing F at 5:30 sharp. There are only 5 of them and do fill up very quickly.

After you came out of cabana, you could take the train to Pier F for a proper breakfast.
normally I'd say Pier, but after a number of recent visits to the Wing F, I'd just say go to the closest. The restaurant in Pier F has been significantly dumbed down from opening, meanwhile Wing F has been "re-aligned" with Pier F by Plaza Premium. You have similar-looking dishes. Food-wise, it's very very similar between the two at this stage. Wing has the Cabanas which might be a little more important for someone stepping off a 16 hour long-haul. I prefer the feel of Pier, that home-type coziness to the granite / shininer feel of the wing.

However, you could also try Pier J....it might even be less crowded than Pier F, is far bigger, and ironically has even better lounging spaces. If you do go to Pier, you could have food at the restaurant in Pier F, then migrate to Pier J. Sounds bizarre but I've now done this a number of times.
