Spam Eggs Instant Noodle

There is no place in the world that would allow such a horrible sounding, seemingly unnutritious thing to be served in a restaurant, not to mention being included as a breakfast item, except for Hong Kong. Picture this: a bowl of instant noodle topped with one fried egg and two slices of spam.
The bowl should have only been seen (and made) when you come home at 4am with a severe hangover and after you are just done puking out overpriced alcohol. At 4am on a sunday morning at home, this makes the perfect food item. However, this is an item that makes your dad frown, your mom grim and your grandma scream when consumed at any other hours.
In Hong Kong, though, this is certainly not the case. Any local restaurants would not even open for business without having this dish on the menu. It is the most legit and authentic breakfast. More people have this for breakfast than cereals. If you have not had it, you cannot claim having tried and tasted authentic flavors of HK.
Spam eggs instant noodle was the first i ate when i returned from the US and it was also the breakfast i had this morning before flying to Taiwan. Yum yum yum...
