Enjoying Ginger Milk in Macau
Ginger milk drinking experience in Macau can be equated with drinking hot chocolate (cioccolata calda) in Italy. In the winter, the Italians like to drink hot chocolate. However, these drinks were served in a state that is very thick and very dense with Porridge-like consistency or viscosity. We can not sip this drink, but must be spooned slowly.
Ginger milk in Macau was performed with a consistency similar to porridge. Apparently, the chemistry of milk in a certain temperature will be coagulated when poured into a solution of ginger juice. The temperature in which the milk is mixed is a secret that is deeply held hereditary. I suspect that even mixed with the special technique of pouring. Macau ginger milk is also similar to hot milk yogurt in Turkey that is brewed with powdered roots of orchids, so thick like rubber -like sticky liquid.
The Macau ginger milk is quite identical with Macau own food. There is no place more suited to the taste the dishes of Macau other than in Macau itself. In Hong Kong, just 65 kilometers west of Macau, actually can be found a few restaurants with Macanese Cuisine nameplate.

Breakfast in Japan
Buffet breakfast is very popular nowadays and is presented by the majority of hotels in Japan. If by chance you are not staying at the hotel, or if you do not provide lodging facilities that includes breakfast in the price you pay, then you should go to the coffee shop at the nearest area that provides a menu “morning service” which usually can be purchased until 10 o’clock. “Morning service” package menu usually consists of a cup of hot coffee, a small plate of salad, boiled egg and a stack of bread sandwiches. The price ranged between 650 yen – 750. Its starting price is quite cheap compared to a cup of coffee that is mentioned above.
