Thoughts: Compared to the Lower Ground floor food area of USJ1 Damen, SS16's Empire Subang is so much more vibrant with a lot more food choices as well as customers; even on a Monday morning! Not just restaurants here in LG of Empire Subang but also a good variety of Kiosk offering desserts, meals, and beverages from 10am (some maybe already started 9:30am). 

Some of the early breakfast (before 10am) you can get at SS16's Empire Subang are:

Coffee Bean & Tea (opens at 8:00am)

Jibby & Co (open at 8:30am)

Kitchen Art Brasserie (opens at 9:00am)

La Bodega (opens at 9:00am)

Lisette's Café & Bakery (opens at 8:00am)

O'Brien's Irish Sandwich Café (opens at 8:00am)

Starbucks (opens at 9:00am)

To have the early morning breakfast here, unfortunately the cheaper rm$0.50 per hour MPSJ parking is too far from the Mall but one can always park inside the shopping mall for rm$1 per hour (even before 8am), some motorist also park along SS16/1 which is the busy road separating Empires Subang and Subang Parade.
For snack at Empire Subang today, sampling Thai disserts from one of the Kiosk here which is "Street Thai Food". The little Thai stall offers 4 tables, 12 meal choices and 6 dessert choices (with prices from rm$10 to rm$15) and I think it is managed by Thai people as well.

The rm$12 "泰式沙拉卷 Thai Salad Roll Thai Salad Roll" comes with fresh Thai style Salad rolls (looks like a thin slice of 蟹卷 crab roll as well), some lettuce on the side, as well as sweet and sour dipping sauce (probably 梅子醬 plum sauce). Expensive compared to what you probably can get from the streets of Bangkok but it was fresh and appetizing.

Malaysians called such rolls as "薄餅 Popiah", with the "薄餅皮 Popiah Skin" as a soft, thin paper-like crepe or pancake made from 麵粉 wheat flour, like a think wafer. The Popiah Skin is then used to wrap a variety of fillings (mostly vegetables) and then either consume after deep fried or without deep fried. Not just 馬來西亞 Malaysia and 新加坡 Singapore, similar dish can be found in 印度尼西亞 Indonesia, 泰國 Thailand, 菲律賓 Philippines and 越南 Vietnam. I believe some Hokkiens called it "潤餅 or "Lun Pia" which probably comes from the Philippine or Indonesian word of "Lumpia". 

I do think that both the Thai and Vietnamese style Popiah Skin are thinner as usually you can see the ingredients wrapped inside the Popiah Skin". The 泰國人 Thai people calls the fried Popiah as "Po Pia Tod" and the non-Fried Popiah as "Po Pia Sod", and are usually served with a very sweet, yellowish colored 梅子醬 plum sauce.
