A neighborhood mee sua shop a few minutes from Longshan Temple that opens at 06:30. The thin noodles come in a thick broth with oysters and braised pork intestine, and you can have both or just one of them. You eat at simple tables under the shop's open arcade, which makes it an easy early bowl before or after the temple.
