Starting September 25, 2026, the fast-food giant brings back its crowd‑pleasing twist on a classic cha chaan teng favourite—now with a seasonal jasmine green tea option and app‑exclusive discounts.
Hong Kong’s enduring love affair with the humble “tomato beef macaroni” found in local tea restaurants has long been a culinary touchstone. Now, McDonald’s is once again translating that nostalgic comfort into a fast‑food format with the return of its Tomato Soup Twisty Pasta Breakfast Series, first launched last year to enthusiastic reception. Beginning September 25, 2026, the lineup will be available at participating branches across the city until 11:00 AM daily (from 4:00 AM at 24‑hour locations), giving early risers and breakfast‑skippers alike a convenient, affordable way to savour that familiar tangy‑sweet tomato broth paired with springy twisty pasta.
Classic Comfort Returns with Four Hearty Options
The series stays true to its inspiration, offering multiple protein‑rich combinations designed to satisfy a range of appetites:
- Tomato Beef Egg Twisty Pasta – Made with 100% beef for tender, flavourful bites, topped with silky steamed egg, sweet corn kernels, and a tangy tomato broth.
- Tomato Beef Twisty Pasta – An egg‑free version that lets the pure beef and tomato essence shine.
- Tomato Soup Pork Sausage Egg Twisty Pasta – Features a hot, savoury pork sausage patty paired with a fried egg for added richness.
- Tomato Soup Grilled Chicken Leg Egg / Grilled Chicken Leg Twisty Pasta – Uses boneless, skinless chicken thigh grilled without oil, delivering a juicy, lean alternative.
Each bowl is built on a foundation of the signature tomato soup, which balances acidity with a subtle sweetness—echoing the cha chaan teng original while maintaining McDonald’s hallmark speed and consistency.
New for Autumn: Hot Jasmine Green Tea Upgrade
In a first for the breakfast series, McDonald’s is introducing a hot tea upgrade perfect for the cooler months. For just HK$2, customers can swap their standard beverage for a cup of Chun Cha She (淳茶舍) Hot Jasmine Green Tea (unsweetened). Made with silver‑grade jasmine green tea leaves, repeatedly scented with jasmine blossoms, the tea offers a floral, clean finish that cuts through the tomato soup’s richness. The move signals McDonald’s increasing attention to seasonal, locally‑inspired beverage pairings—a trend that has gained traction among Hong Kong diners seeking lighter, less sugary options.
App‑Exclusive Savings for Early Birds
To celebrate the return, McDonald’s is rolling out a limited‑time breakfast discount through its mobile app. From September 25, 2026, members can redeem an electronic coupon to save HK$3 on the “Tomato Beef Egg Twisty Pasta” or “Tomato Beef Twisty Pasta” Morning Value Meal. The offer is valid between 4:00 AM and 11:00 AM each day, encouraging app‑based loyalty while nudging customers to try the beef variants.
Availability and Practical Details
The series will not be available at all locations. The following McDonald’s outlets are excluded: Ocean Park, Sha Tin Racecourse, Happy Valley Racecourse, and Peak Galleria. Guests planning to visit these branches should double‑check alternative menu options or head to a nearby participating restaurant.
By reviving a local cha chaan teng staple within its fast‑food ecosystem, McDonald’s continues to blur the line between Western convenience and Hong Kong culinary heritage. For those who grew up on a steaming bowl of “tomato beef macaroni” at a corner tea house, this breakfast series offers a pocket‑friendly, time‑saving encore—and a new tea upgrade that might just become a seasonal ritual.
