Having heard of Hokkaido Dairy Farm's fame, today I finally had the chance to dine in here. There was quite a lot of people queuing at the restaurant when we arrived at lunch, but the wait was only around 10 minutes before we got our seats.
The Gourmet Burger Union
The recent Beer Pong Tournament did get me to dine a lot in lkf. After our last visit in the Cul-De-Sac, today we decided to dine in Gourmet Burger Union which is just right opposite to CDS.
On our way up the slope, we got this $10 promotion coupon from GBU's worker which suited us perfectly. The GBU store was extremely tiny, it could only fit less than six customers at one time. There was just a couple dinning when we arrived the restaurant, but I felt claustrophobic already.Indulgence in Ireland's Potato
In Causeway Bay, despite people, the next thing you can find most easily on street is food. Restaurant, fast food stalls and convenient stores are everywhere. Seemingly food is not a scarce resource anymore. The supply floods the market while the demand is surged by the increase of Mainland Tourists, and of course, foodie like us.
I could never ever resist the evil aroma from all the foods at street in Causeway Bay. Today I was led to Ireland's Potato and got myself a cup of chips. Let's just for once forget about the calories.

Starbucks | Toffee Nut Latte
Before we started our art jamming class and right after our filling lunch, everyone was in a food coma zombie mode and desperately needed a cup of coffee to wake ourselves up.
We thought there wouldn't be any nice coffee shop around the area in Lai Chi Kok, but here we found a Starbucks at the perfect corner!

Milkissimo - Pricy Gelatto
Having heard of a gelatto store in The One, I went circling around the floors and finally brought myself to Milkissimo. I was pretty excited when I saw the gelatto store but got even more excited when I saw the cup size, as in a negative way.
The cup was extremely small and could not hold much gelatto at all. Even though the gelato shoots up the hill, it still did not fill the cup. No matter how great their Hokkaido milk quality is, the gelatto was still pretty pricy. I mean, the cup size was similar to agnes b froyo tasting cup's size.

PHO - We Need Some Authentic PHO!
Having a very artistic afternoon, we went for Art Jaming in Lai Chi Kok. The lesson finished at 5pm, then we decided to head for an early dinner at Tsim Sha Tsui and go watch Narnia.
My friend said she had once encountered a pretty nice Vietnamese restaurant in Ashley Road and decided to bring me there. Upon arriving Ashley Road, I saw the logo of Pho Vietnamese Restaurant and I suddenly realised I had seen this logo in Causeway! Finally we found some nice Vietnamese Restaurant that is more authentic (although not totally) Vietnamese than Green Cottage. (Click to read review on Green Cottage)

Froyo Race Stop 13 ♥ Tuttimelon
Although opening for months, there was still a line for people to queue for the froyo. Tuttimelon works by weighting Froyo, there was only1 cup size available at store and the cup was huge which was pretty much a rip off. There were like 8 or more flavors available at store, you could have the flavours alone or have them mixed together to give a twist to the taste. The store runs a DIY style, you squeezed the amount of froyo you want, add the dry as well as wet toppings as much as your like by yourselves. Everything was decided by customers and usually customers are always out of their mind when it comes to DIY. Hence I could pretty much sure everyone's cup must cost over $30. What I love the most about the froyo DIY machines was that there was signs describing how tarty, sweet and creamy the froyo you are about to get. Although I found it not very trustworthy later, it was still a good reference to the customer.
Royce - White Chocolate Bar
Cravingness: ★★★★★
Getting 2 boxes of Royce Nama Chocolate, I got this white chocolate bar or free. I originally thought a bar of chocolate would be less nice when compared to the Nama chocolate, yet the taste was amazingly nice.
Shake'em Buns - Cheese Steaks Indulgence
After the heavenly tasty Cheese Steaks from Cul-De-Sac, it got itself a pretty prestigious position in my favourite food list. From my last visit to Shake'em Buns, I vaguely remembered the menu mentioned Cheese Steaks. So I went to check it out.
From what I remembered, Shake'em Buns usually toasted their buns for burgers. The buns were usually toasted very crunchy and went extremely nice with the Burgers. While Cul-De-Sac's bun was a bit on the soft side, I held great expectation on Shake'em Bun's Cheese Steaks.

Crystal Jade | Inexpensive Shanghainese Cuisine
Before our Art Jamming lesson began, we decided to gather at Wanchai for a quick lunch first. Having no idea on what to eat, we decided to pick one restaurant randomly at Tai Yau Plaza and so here we went to Crystal Jade.
The Beancurd looked delicious but not as meticulously prepared as Shanghai Xiao Nan Guo Cuisine's. The Beancurd was icy but the texture was not particularly smooth. Taste wise the beancurd itself was tasteless but was delicious when go with the sauce, preserved egg and the shredded pork.
1) Beancurd with Preserved Egg $40

宏發燒臘 -| Mediocre Roasties at Attractive Price
Having much work to do at office, I decided to eat take away for lunch today. Speaking of take away food, I immediately thought of this roasts take away store that I passed by several times a week. When I arrive the restaurant, there was a few people queuing for the lunch boxes. A lunch box with 2 roasties cost only $20 which was quite a bargain.
Tai Hing Roast - The Best Dish
If you ask me what is the best dish in Tai Hing, I will carry no doubt and shout 'Baked rice with BBQ pork and peach in honey sauce'. It is simply too delicious that I could recall its flavour vividly on my palate whenever I think of the dish.
