Hong Kong

Our trip to Hong Kong is just about "EAT" 

Day 1: We bought a sim card cost HK$ 100 from the 1010 shop @ airport as well as our octopus card (with HK$ 50 deposit - refundable when you return your card at the airport)




It's convenient to get a taxi from the airport. You can also take the MTR if your hotel is near to the station. It cost us HK$ 250 from the airport to InterContinental Grand Stanford Hotel.




We choose InterContinental Grand Stanford hotel because it is only 13 mins walk to the East Tsim Sha Tsui MTR Station (尖東站). The hotel also provides free shuttle bus for customers. (Refer to below map). Check in process is pretty fast, comes with welcome drinks. 


Room is clean and comfortable. They serve very good buffet breakfast and we got a free birthday cake delivered to our room as I requested it for my husband.







We arrived our hotel in the afternoon and rest for an hour, it was already 4pm++ in the afternoon and we proceed to go for our tea time. 


These are the famous meal from Australia Dairy Co. (澳洲牛奶公司)that many has recommended - Scrambled eggs on toast & steamed milk pudding. As there's only 2 of us, look at the corner seat that the waiter brought us, we have to sit side by side facing the partition. (with the menu on the wall), ha! 


Scrambled egg toast - HK$ 17, Steamed Milk Pudding - HK$ 26 

The scrambled egg was really good but I'm not so into the steamed milk pudding, maybe the taste was too milky for me. 

Australia Dairy Co. (澳洲牛奶公司)

G/F, 47-79, Parkes St. (2 mins. walk from MTR Jordan exit C2) 
Closed on Thursday



We went to 6 座云吞面 (same row with Australia Dairy Co., 1-11, Parkes St.) for another meal. 

This WanTon noodle set with soy bean milk and grill chicken stick cost HK$ 28. Worth the value. 


We head to Victoria harbour first before our late dinner. Nice night view, and it's windy. I bought this delicious chinese tea egg (HK$ 6) from Wong Lo Kat stall (王老吉凉茶)near to the clock tower, taste good! 






Day 2: 

Due to Hong Kong Umbrella Revolution, some of the streets were closed, and we walked all the way from Nathan Street to Mong Kok. 







Our dinner !! The delicious clay pot chicken rice. We were there at about 7pm but there's already a queue. There will be someone taking your order while waiting, so that they can prepare the meal first. The restaurant is not so big, so definitely you have to sit with strangers. 


The clay pot rice and fried duck egg oyster cake are really good, but not the vege (a bit tasteless). 


Clay pot chicken rice + chicken sausage + duck egg oyster cake + vegetable = HK$ 89 


四季煲仔饭 Four Season Clay Pot Rice 

Address: 50, Arthur St., Hong Kong 

In fact, there are some other clay pot rice restaurants nearby as well that  you may try and compare.  




If you are vegetarian, this is the restaurant you can consider - 珍心素食 @ 124-128B, Portland St., Hong Kong. 


We tried the Tau Fu Fa (Soybean custard) 豆漿豆腐花, it's really good, very silky and smooth. (And not too sweet!) 




Day 3:  中环 Central 


It's already Day 3 and I haven't try the egg tart yet! This is "must try" pastry in Hong Kong.
