Having decided to buy the cookies I started looking for the shop in Nathan road and was able to locate in Mirador Mansions.Even though it is in Mirador mansion the waiting line starts near outside the side entrance of the Mansion.By the time I reached a long line has already formed.
There were many type of travellers.Some straight from flight,many with their girl friends and lot of Chinese mainlanders.The bakery is so popular it sells in thousands in tins which are very attractive and pleasing to eyes.I doubt whether they have many outlets in Hong Kong.
Their Butter cookies and assorted cookies are very famous and they keep a limited numbers approximately about 5000 tins for sale a day.It is common for Tourists to buy them and give as a gift to their friends and relatives in Hong Kong.
They limit the sale to 3 tins per person and you can see in the waiting crowd people talking to others and requesting them to buy tins for them.I heard that there is a black market for these tins in Hong Kong and they are quite expensive in other cities.
Having tasted these cookies before, they are quite yummy and mouthwatering.They melt quietly in your mouth and the taste lingers for a longer time.Nice to have them along with coffee breaks but limit to two.
Another great of this place is you have to pay in cash and no credit or debit cards payment allowed.Now the line is becoming longer and the shop is going to be opened soon.A attendant comes and she has a handful of tokens which she starts distributing one by one.Some Chinese tourists try to sneak in but she ignores them.The line has started moving.
The first batch enters and I am one of them.People come with fixed wants and having braced the sun and showers outside they are in a hurry to buy this quite expensive cookies and push of to theirs next destination.The fresh ingredients of Butter,Milk,Sugar into these cookies brings the aroma around it.
