Went to have breakfast near the bus interchange/checkpoint at Lo Wu. This place has a very cute name called Sunday. The Chinese name though, has the direct translation of 3 islands (san dao).
The panfried carrot cake was sueperlicious. The Chinese sausage that was in it was very tasty, unlike any other that I have eaten. The mung bean dumpling was yummy too! It came with one plastic disposable glove so that one could open the lotus leaf without dirtying one's hand.
What surprised us was their coffee because it was the machine-style coffee, not one of those that tastes like water from the drain.
Well, this more than made up for the discomfort I had the night before. Like I said, the hotel was tres comfortable and tres boutique hotel without being too cramped. The only minus point is that it is located right next to the road junction where taxis enter the MTR taxi stand and buses enter the terminus.
China being China, the people do not have much patience. Some of them taxi drivers see such a long queue and they cut queue. Because they cut queue, other drivers start horning at them and at those who let them do so. There are others who horn out of frustration and in protestation of such a long wait. It is a bit of a vicious cycle. When they horn, it is not a short toot. It is a long horn. One horn starts off other horns.
This happened around 1.20am when we were trying to get to sleep. By about 4 or 5 plus in the morning, I was awaken by the horns again. It was absolute noise pollution. Now, I understand why the Chinese government has to ban horning in certain areas in the cities. Guaranteed to go deaf if it goes on 24/7.
