We went to Australian Dairy Farm to have our breakfast in the morning. We don't usually wake up for breakfast, but it's an exception that day because there were many good reviews of the restaurant and I've decided to check it out ;)
We didn't expect a long queue since it was already late 10plus in the morning, and people should be either working/studying at that hour but I was wrong! There was quite a queue but it moved very fast and there's a reason behind this...(mention later on)
We queued for 20 mins before it was our turn, and we were both v hungry already!
Their menu
They offer set menu, mainly 3- Breakfast, lunch and one for all day.
We ordered 2 of the breakfast sets as the people around us were all eating the same stuff.
The breakfast set consists of macaroni with sliced ham, toast with scrambled eggs and either tea/coffee. The food was decent and homely but the concept of their breakfast was special I thought. Their scrambled eggs was really t-a-s-t-y!
This dessert was to die for!!
They have 2 kinds of dairy milk dessert, and we ordered the almond egg yolk pudding, so goooooood!! I prefer it to be served hot, really warms your stomach up.
If I am going back to HK again, I would like to try the other signature dessert- Steam egg white custard (sounds good right?:P)
Oh... but back to their service.. It was quite horrible I felt because they were too efficient till I felt stress to finish my food fast. Within a few minutes after we sat down, they came to take order from us and they were quite impatient when serving customers like they were racing against time. This explains why the queue moved really fast haha! But I guess HK people are very used to it... Cos almost everywhere, things are done v fast.
After breakfast, we walked around Jordan (the restaurant is near Jordan MRT) and behind me was one of their "flea" markets.
Details for the day
As there was nothing much at Jordan in the morning, we headed to "Elements Mall" at Kowloon to shop at H&M. The H&M was quieter there and more sizes are available in the outlet.
After shopping, we walked to West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade for some sight-seeing. Rather disappointed because it was under construction and we didn't get to sight-see. Took some photos still...
It was evening after we left the place and our next stop was central. Had wanton mee and a roadside eatery there but 1 bowl still costs $5 still... But the portions of fish-balls and wanton were generous
We were surrounded by looming sky-scrappers; HK truly lives up to its name as the "Financial Centre Of Asia"! Working people rushing here and there...
We queued near to 2 hours for the peak tram as it was super crowded!!! People were squeezing and pushing one another, so awful!
We went for Madam Tussands Museum first and left the Victoria Peak to the last. Here are some of my fav photos taken with some of the celebrities :P
Our best Prime Minister, Lee Kuan Yew. Hehe I'm a Lee too *winks*
Can I have William Shakespeare's wisdom?
Most handsome Robert Pattinson :P
I had fun taking photos in the museum and the wax-figurines are like 99.99999% as real as in person! Haaha
Ok.... So what was the highlight of the day (Victoria Peak) turned out to be the biggest disappointment. It was raining in the day hence it was all cloudy and we couldn't see anything except CLOUDS :< There's a staff there in charge of photo-taking, and she said the background can be changed -.- I mean of cos we wouldn't want to take photo with just clouds and having a fake background! So, I promised myself I will be back to see the peak when I'm back at HK again! On a personal note, I feel that the staff should warn the crowd that there's REALLY NOTHING up there instead of giving people the false hope, queuing and purchasing tickets. At least when I was in Taipei 101, they warned us that the weather was bad and asked us to re-consider. Oh well...
Nevertheless, the day was well-spent too :) Till the next xx
