The HPA cited guidelines it introduced in October that recommend what people who frequently eat out should order at Taiwanese or Western-style breakfast shops to ensure a balanced and nutritious first meal of the day.
People can order one cup of fresh milk tea without sugar, or one glass bottle of long-life milk, and consume another 240ml later in the day, it said.
Soybean milk is not a substitute, as its nutritional value is different, the HPA said.
People should add a fist-sized serving of fruit to their breakfast — although that would likely have to be sourced elsewhere, as breakfast stores typically do not sell fruit — and avoid eating the same fruit too often to get a variety of fiber, vitamin C and phytochemicals, which are antioxidants, the agency said.
