See also: Dim SumShanghai people do not usually spend too much time on having breakfast, so breakfast in Shanghai is pretty simple. Shanghai people are used to grabbing some food in small snack stores or having a bowl of paofan (simplified Chinese: 泡饭; traditional Chinese: 泡飯; pinyin: pàofàn; rice in soup or water) with pickled cucumbers, pickled vegetables or a salty duck egg at home.

Famous quotes containing the word breakfast:
“You had your breakfast in bed before,
But you won’t have it there anymore.”
—Irving Berlin (1888–1989)
“Hans Castorp loved music from his heart; it worked upon him much the same way as did his breakfast porter, with deeply soothing, narcotic effect, tempting him to doze.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“There is not enough exercise in this way of life. I try to make up by active gymnastics before I dress when I get up, by walking rapidly in the lower hall and the greenhouse after each meal for perhaps five to ten minutes, and a good hand rubbing before going to bed. I eat moderately; drink one cup of coffee at breakfast and one cup of tea at lunch and no other stimulant. My health is now, and usually, excellent.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
