This was not on my eat list for the Macau trip but I happened to be hungry so I just grabbed the croissant for a light snack.

This coffee joint is easily missed because when you arrive in Macau, the first thing you want to do is get to where your going.

It is probably discovered by people leaving Macau when they have missed their ferry and bored waiting.
Their hotdog was rather cute, it was labelled HOT CAT

When I was choosing what to eat, I was shocked by the sizes of the hotdogs, sandwiches and croissants.
You have to physically see them to or you won't believe how big they are.

Huge croissant:




The croissant was heated, but it was not that warm in the centre.
It tasted quite nice and the taste of the croissant was quite buttery.

As well as Macau they have Gloria Jean's Coffees in Singapore as well.

Chicken steak with omelette:
Went back for more of their stingy chicken because the chicken tastes quite home-made.
This time chose chinese style omelette with pickles and the chicken.
Just as expected only got a few pieces of chicken.
The omelette contained Chinese pickles (choy-poa) which I found too sweet so I didnt like the egg, but the chicken tasted ok.

Thank you IVYCWK for getting me these Oolong Tea candies.

They were from the new branch in Sheung Wan.
I really like this new branch because it is much more accessible compared to the one at Hysan Place where you have to take numerous escalators to get up there.

Oolong tea candy:
The candies are green and have a leaf imprinted on it.
The taste of these candies were delicious and not syrupy.
It was surprising you can actually taste the tea and it also tasted powdery like the powder they use to make tea.
There was some slight bitterness from the tea.

Thank you Mjqueen7e for getting me these egg rolls.

Usually I only see these egg rolls during Chinese New Year, but Maxim's and GOD have come up with a smaller pack which can be eaten as a snack anytime of the year.

The packaging is bright yellow and nice.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Egg Rolls:
They were nice and crispy.
Each egg roll was rolled uniformly with full eggyness flavour.

Eight treasure soup (Baatbotong):
Last time I tried their deep fried chicken leg I spotted the eight treasure soup on the menu, so this time I came back for it.
After I removed the lid, it was piping hot, so I burnt my tongue again.
The soup had so many ingredients in it, tofu, prawns, vegetables and Chinese mushrooms.
The taste of this soup was really nice and it had strong tofu taste because the tofu had strong soybean taste.
They also had Western beef soup which I want to try as well.

Egg and mayonnaise sandwich:
My favourite simple toasted sandwich which contains egg and tomato.
There was lots of mayonnaise in it and the egg was lovely and creamy.
The egg yolk was hard boiled and mushed so it mixed nicely with the mayonnaise giving a lovely starchy texture, while the tomato was refreshing.
Although this sandwich was delicious I felt thirsty after eating it.

Egg tarts:
Egg tarts from Hoixe again!
Again the base of the tart is very floppy and the filling is very runny so I refrigerated them.
After they were refrigerated they tasted much nicer, the filling was not so sweet and egg and the tart base was hard.
