Food that i really recommend will be,

-Australian Dairy Co @ Jordan. Its famous for their scramble egg, ham and toast breakfast set.
-Clean the street food @ Dundas Street, mongkok. Fei Jie Snacks for Octopus with mustard and sweet sour. Lots of other street food like beef brisket, pork spare parts and etc.
- Sek Heong Yuen @ Central. Roadside under stairway kopitiam. Quite like their Sour lemon Sprite + Instant noodle with luncheon meat and ham in tomato sauce. Toast also not bad. Also by far they serve the best Milk tea biggrin.gif

but i wont be actually stay in the hotel, im spending my time at SPA literary for 12hours
the question is, does grand waldo provide baggage drop point (i dont mind paying), and is there any time limitation (like 11pm must collect)?
