百利冰室 (Pak Lee cafe) ~ 西湾河 Sai Wan Ho

We made a Mount Parker (Quarry Bay) to Tai tam reserviour walk and stopped by 百利冰室 at 西湾河（Sai Wan Ho).  Our veteran hiker's favourite spot for macaroni & ham breakfast ~ cha can tng style.  The chicken drumstick is also. Hot favourite with locals as the skin is roasted to perfect crisp.

We packed their homemade bread, cookie and cakes home too, taste was localised and average.

Best macaroni in town because of the 'special' soup base ~ according to my veteran hiker.

Roast chicken drumstick ~ another hot favourite of the locals.

Local snack sprinkle with sugar

Hot dog with crusty bun

I love taking pics of fruit stalls because of the lighting cast on the colourful fruits display.

Set lunch for hkd85

Pork neck and pomelo salad on the left.  Mac and cheese (aged Gruyere) on the right.  Cheese was rich.  Pork neck well-marinated, tender inside and roasted to the right level of crisp at the edges.

Dalloyau ~ Causeway bay

Dalloyau pop-up store at Hysan Place, Causeway bay.  French pastry and dessert always find their way to my stomach.  Love the Mont Blanc which has some raspberry added for a tinge of sour into the sweetness.  Croissant had a crisp crust and soft Center.  Brioche was soft and butter and jam was fresh and light.

Colourful macaroons.

Esther tells me their Opera is the Original, hope to get to try it sooon. 

Xmas is still in the air.

Hope to try these wafers next time round.

I'm dreaming of a white Xmas.

Fun toast ~ Raffles place MRT Singapore

Fun toast. They serve the best yummy sweet gula Melaka iced tea in town.  I had two in one go after weeks of hibernation in Hong Kong.

Typical packet Nasi lemak available in Singapore.  A taste of home to return to.

翠华餐厅 Tsui Wah Resturant ~ Causeway Bay

My first loved Cha Can Tng 茶餐厅 which I still return to when we want a quick fix in town without much queue.  Or like today, when we waited for a friend from faraway till late night 10pm for dinner (this outlet closes at 1am).
