How do you feel about congee and pho?
Congee and Pho are unhealthy. 
I like a fresh congee in the morning. I like the particular version called: raw boilin congee (生滾粥). I also like wonton soup (with wonton dumplings, not just the broth).
not sure how i missed this thread. The interesting thing about these food is that outside of Asia, most of these are just regular lunch / dinner menu items in Asian restaurants (since they aren’t as likely to open for breakfast!). In no particular order:
Dim Sum
Steamed stuffed buns, baozi, usually filled with pork, veggies
congee plus youtiao (chinese cruller)
tang yuan- sticky rice with e.g. sesame inside
Chinese crepe wraps (jian bing)- pancakes
Hot dry noodle (Hubei, China)
Guilin rice noodle
Khao Tom- Thai congee
Bun- rice noodle
Xoi- sticky rice
banh cuon- steamed roll
banh mi
Parathas
chole bhatura
masala dosa
idli sambar
Jook with potato chips and Thousand year eggs.
Kaya toast
Fried rice made with last night’s supper leftovers.
Bao, of course
?
natto over hot rice

Stir fried eggs with tomatoes from Fuchsia Dunlop book, Every Grain of Rice.
We eat it regularly when our tomatoes are ripe from the garden.
Vada with sambar and coconut chutney.
And I had an amazing lemongrass, rice and egg drop soup in Cambodia that really got the endorphins going.
I’m a fan of the casual breakfasts offered by Matsuya, the Japanese chain. Always natto, sometimes tororo, seldom the hard boiled egg.
I’m also partial to ful (even though most countries that haveit for breakfast aren’t in Asia), 煎饼 (jianbing) with 油条 (youtiao; the crunchy thing, not so much), kaya toast with copious teh tarik, and c/o Tsukiji’s 24-hour sushi places…sushi. 5am dim sum in Hong Kong works too.
