Hong Kong Macau Trip Day 4: 5th August 2011, Friday
香港澳门之旅第四天:8月5日2011年, 星期五

Just some additional pictures of the cool designs in this hotel.


Exquisite tap.


It's a flat stream of water coming out from the tap.


The interestingly shaped shower head.


This hotel also has an iPhone/iPod Touch player-cum-alarm clock.

We woke up to have breakfast at 10am. It's a complimentary breakfast. The cafe itself is also very small and compact. But seriously you can't judge a book by its cover. The breakfast sets that they serve are of the highest standards. There were many to choose from and we decided to choose the two sets below.

The taste and presentation of the breakfast really doesn't deserve the hotel being rated as 3-stars. We could see a Caucasian chef preparing the breakfast sets. Simply a wonderful start to a new day in Hong Kong.


Some free toast to start off our breakfast.


I just love the scrambled eggs.


This eggs benedict is just mouth-watering.

We then walked past one of the interesting historical buildings around the area. Then we went to take the train to look for our next must-try restaurants in Hong Kong.


Toy soldier and Momo high-0s.

And we found it! Somewhere in Jordan. Highly anticipated cos of this blog entry we found that features this restaurant. The blogger mentioned "Me satisfying the breakfast", which made us remember it for its funniness. Nut Nut said that we must try out this restaurant and therefore we made sure we got all the info to get there easily.

The restaurant could be easily recognized from afar for its huge signboard bearing the words 澳洲牛奶公司 in reverse. And the moment you step in, if you manage to, you can feel the waves of air rushing past you as the waiters and waitresses zoom back and forth serving the endless flow of customers. Only one Chinese idiom to describe their business - "门庭若市".


We found the "Me satisfying the breakfast" restaurant!


And the menu contains sooooooooo many items, dunno what to choose.


炖奶 can never go wrong.
In fact it's so smooth and tasty that Momo wanna go HK again just for this.


A healthy bowl of macaroni.


Ordered wrong egg. Wanted scrambled eggs hahaha.


The place is always full house.


Will definitely go there to eat again if I'm back in HK.

Australia Dairy Company 澳洲牛奶公司
47 - 49 Parkes Streets,
Jordan, Hong Kong. (Jordan MTR, exit C2)
Tel: 2730-1356
Business hours: 7.30am to 11pm daily.

My own directions:
Jordan MTR Exit C2.
Cross the road.
Walk along the pavement and turn right at junction.
Walk until you see it on your left.

Next up we tried this seemingly popular dessert place called Hui Lau Shan Healthy Dessert 许留山. It has outlets almost everywhere we go, so we decided to find out what's making all these locals and tourists go for their desserts.

Their specialty should be the mango range of desserts. In order to save our stomachs for other things, we only ordered one item from the menu. The mango sure is fresh and tasty.


You'll definitely see its outlets anywhere you go in HK.


Another menu with so many items that we dunno which one to choose.


A cold mango dessert on a hot and humid day sure does wonders.

We then walked along the streets and did some shopping. Visited an Espirit factory outlet and we bought a few pieces of clothing from it.


Why do I have a feeling that I am in Japan?
The streets and buildings all look the same to me.


Some old uncle writing some poems on the canvas in the middle of the street.

We came across this building which sort of resembles the style of bugis street. Many small shops selling all kinds of interesting things like figurines, household items, comics, clothes, accessories, etc.


Hong Kong people are also crazy over such items.


I wanna own this whole set!

We spent much of our time shopping and walking around that we eventually found ourselves having dinner at 10+pm. Was so famished by that time that we HAD to find something nice to eat asap. We went to one of those normal-looking Hong Kong local restaurants.

Ordered the beef hor fun. To our amazement, it was so damn good!


The succulent beef was a great treat.


Claypot rice with minced pork.
We din realize there's a whole egg, with shell included, hidden inside the rice.


Can't remember where it was. But sure is a nice place to visit for a meal.

That's all for day four of our trip. OMG time passes so quickly and we're halfway through our trip!


One Night In Mongkok.
