Chap Fan For Breakfast


I know that some people eat chap fan for breakfast.

I used to think that it was weird, eating a full meal (like lunch) for breakfast. I have since changed my mind.


That morning I prepped lunch. It was my usual minced beef omelette.


This 282 Mixed Rice shop opens early. By 10:00 am, all the dishes are ready.

Before I went to tapau lunch for mum (I get hers from Restoran 1111) I stopped by to eat breakfast.


This was what I got - sweet potato leaves, sweet and sour fish and sweet and sour tofu.


My meal was very tasty and cost me RM10.00.


The next day, lunch was minced beef and fried eggs.


On my way to 282 Mixed Rice, I saw a kitten. So I detoured (hah..hah...) to check the little kittie.


Auwwwww ....... so cute!


It looked right at me but when I approached slowly, the little kittie ran away. 


This is the chap fan shop. A simple set up.


The dishes that day.


Honestly the (protein) dishes here are not as appealing as the ones served at the chap fan shop at Restoran 1111 (which is why I get mum's from there).


However, I like their variety of veggies.


I was a bit greedy and took four dishes.


Spinach, a braised pork dish, sweet and sour tofu (again) and deep fried pork. This cost me RM16.00.


I'm afraid the braised pork dish was not to my liking. It was pork pieces, coated in batter, deep fried and then braised.

The batter became soggy while some of the pork pieces were a bit tough. The flavors were not good.


The deep fried pork fared better.


In this shop there are two stalls. A drinks stall and a chicken rice stall.


On every table was this menu. I am keen to try the Salted Kopi. There is even a Vitamin C Kopi. I wonder what that is hah..hah...

  1. Dear PH, what a cute kitty 😺 you found on your walk.
    I am glad that you enjoyed your meal. I have never tried tofu and it doesn't look appealing to me at all.
    I don't like sour or sweet and sour.
    A friend here in Montreal sometimes orders a smoked salmon omelet when she goes out for breakfast and told me it is scrumptious πŸ˜‹
    Love your photos.

  2. I used to think it's weird too when ppl eat chapfan for breakfast, then i learnt tht Klang ppl eat bkt for breakfast, tht's even weirder😁
    Nowadays many chapfan opens early coz some working parents tapao for their kids who attend afternoon school session. It's like nasi lemak stalls tht opens at 7am, but instead of 7, it's 9:30 & they sell fried noodles & porridge too.

  3. As sometimes I eat omad, I do eat chapfan in the morning when it is ready πŸ˜‚
    Cos with omad, there is no need to differentiate between breakfast, lunch or dinner πŸ˜‚
    I πŸ™ the kitten got someone feeding her or him πŸ™
