Character Breakdown

港式 is Hong Kong-style ( the second character of Hong Kong, and is style, so it's Kong-style). 西 is West or Western, and 多士 is toast (the Cantonese dō sih sounds like toast), so French toast is referred to as Western toast (which is a better name, as French toast dates back to the Roman Empire).
