Hokkaido Dairy Farm: Breakfast For Lunch?


So occasionally when I'm extremely lazy, tired, the weather sucks or am feeling socially inept- i run out to buy lunch to eat at my desk. There are usually only one of two places i go- the first being a place i have already reviewed.. the local noodle shop (Nam Ke) and the second being Hokkaido Dairy Farm. Usually these two places continually persist in my weekly lunch excursions.

Tucked behind a corner, across from the Ferrari dealership and the 28 mini bus to Central Soho, lies this small Asian looking coffee shop/diner. But amass the line of businessmen waiting for a seat, lies simplicity in food hardly seen elsewhere in Causway bay.

My first experience here was actually my first day of work.. not a mere three months ago but feels like forever. Most people order 1 thing and 1 thing only on the menu.. the Lunch Special.

This lunch special consists of things you can easily find at home.. but would never piece together and create a lunch set. My sheer amazement at the "lunch special" soon faded as i became a regular there.

1) Scrambled Eggs
2) 2 slices of Ham
3) 2 perfectly cut triangular slices of White "Asian style" Toast
4) BBQ Beef+ Macaroni in a Light Chicken Broth.
5) Iced Lemon Tea (My new favorite beverage)

All in all- while not the best lunch meal i had experienced, definitely one that offers the comfort and satisfaction that one needs as a corporate clone in the HK work world.

Cheers! And happy eating!
