Hong Kong French toast is a deep-fried sandwich that is generally filled with peanut butter, but alternative filling options include sausage floss or jam. The meal is reported to have been invented by Wong Bik-wan, a chef at the Hong Kong Hotel in the early 1900s. The dish quickly grew popular among hotel visitors and has since become a Hong Kong culinary staple.
French toast is traditionally served for breakfast or brunch, although it can also be eaten as a snack or dessert.
