Big Breakfast (RM26)
I've seen this place, I know of this place, but never once occur to me to actually visit.
Pumpkin Soup (RM14)
One of those days we had hangover brunch on a Sunday at Antipodean... I took a bite of everything and it all seems very decent. I'm quite surprised actually, I normally would prefer soupy stuff instead of a huge plate of brekkie. So pumpkin soup it is!
Avocado Toast with Tomatoes and Bacons (RM22)
Likes: Great choices, not bad of a place for brunch - in fact one of the better ones (not overly toasted toasts at least!!)
Dislikes: Limited tables and space....

White pizza, mozzarella, parmesan, garlic, serrano ham (HKD128)
This was unexpectedly good! The cheese is really something... Much more deserving compared to the lobster roll.
Lobster Roll (HKD180)
The brioche was dry and stale. The lobster meat was minced so small chunks I got confused between lobster and crab.
So much mayo is used to stir up the lobster. This is not anywhere near impressive - just do a search on Luke's Lobster or Guardino's. Those are HUGE chunks of lobster in the roll, not minced!! And for that price, really?
I definitely will not return to this place - I found myself to be cheated with below average overpriced food.
Yes. HKD65 for a glass of fruit juice.
Likes: Instagrammable friendly place... Good pizza and that's it
Dislikes: No good lobster roll (never ever order that), overpriced, service is slow

We were walking aimlessly from Mong Kok to Jordan, trying to find some Mango dessert shop recommended by a local cab driver. We ended up finding this little gem instead...
Lucky for us we did not have to queue for it - milk custard, hot milk and cold milk for late dinner, to wash down the oily street food we had... Not like that will make a difference, I thought it's nice to convince myself it is a healthier option :P
To be honest, I can't really tell the difference between Yee Sun and Aus Dairy Company. At least we were satisfied with either or, as we don't even get this in KL at all!!
Likes: Simple and quick snacks - we all enjoyed all our milk snacks. Staffs were generally nice (I thought they will be unfriendly but no all of them who attended us were very nice and patient).
Dislikes: None?

The first shop we saw when we got off our cab - Milk shop!!! The more popular choice is Australian Dairy Company, but according to my friends, the locals would prefer Yee Shun more. To be honest, I can't tell the difference.
We also had one papaya shake each for breakfast - healthy much?! It's so creamy and rich we did not even need to have solid food!
Since we are already here, might as well order something savoury - pork chop with macaroni to curb hangover faces!
Likes: Convenient, not too pricey, it came up to around HKD300++ for 4 pax which was alright. Milk custard is to die for!
Dislikes: Nil.

Wan tan - I doubt these are really good, it was soft and it breaks apart. Not properly in tact but I guess it's fine for char chan teng quality.
A friend was craving for borscht soup - it's so different from the version we get in Klang Valley where it's just downright diluted. This was just a random shop we went and we liked it already - flavourful, thick, and it's actual soup! Nevertheless, I think I love Russian bosrcht soup more....
Char chan teng's must have - toasts!
We always watch TVB dramas where they would order truffle with scrambled eggs for breakfast - so here we are, truffle with scrambled eggs served with toasts!
It's right at Lan Kwai Fong - what a strategic place where people can grab some bites after drinking.
Likes: Convenient, average cafe food
Dislikes: Too commercialised
