Since I have opened my JC a/c I have been spending money on betting every week.

Since I have opened my JC a/c I have been spending money on betting every week. This is my first time coming to the racecourse in Shatin and I think it is just a lot bigger than the HV one, but it's more old school though.

Once I reached the doorstep of Hay Market, I felt like I have entered another dimension. The vibe, decoration and even the tempreture is completely different from the public area outside.

The dining area is chic with a metallic feel. The bright lighting joined force with the reflection from the sunlight shining through the big windows.

The big open bar at the middle is probably the highlight of the restaurant. However, alcoholic drinks is not included in their semi-buffet lunch. The upstairs area is maining for resting as well as washroom, while the dining area is split into left and right.

Live betting is also available at the counter or at some of the tables with computer screens. Since I am a member already, I just use my mobile phone or I can use their tablet to bet while enjoying my meal comfortably.

Since it is a semi-buffet, there is no spectacular wide range of options for you to choose.

The cheese board has a few selections of cheese from different countries including France, Spain, Swiss, and more. The cheese selection was actually surprisingly high quality when comparing to my expectation in other food options.

There are lots of baking goods available including some croissants, danish, muffins, dinner rolls, bread and other puff pastries. I have only tried their almond croissant and it was amazing wiht a crispy crust and sweet almond cream fillings.

In their seafood stastion, they have a mix between cooked and raw sashimi, including cooked whelk, prawn, mussels, along with some raw fish selections. I personally liked the cooked ones a bit more just because they have better flavour and freshness.

On the side, they also have a few pasta based and vegetable based salad, nuts, and some cold cuts for you to create your own desired plate of heathiness.

One of the highlights of the restaurant would be their made-to-order omelette. You may choose your favourite toppings to put in your omelette, personally I am greedy and I like most of the ingredients so I just went all in!

The omelette was fluffy and buttery, filled with colourful ingredients including peppers, ham, onion, chives, tomato, and cheese.

There are 5 different main dishes for you to choose and I have picked the Hay Market special which you would have to pay $100 extra on top of your $450 base value to enjoy this buffet.

The orzo was cooked with seafood stock which was in a rich yellowish orange colour. It absorbed all the stock therefore the orzo itself was pretty salty and I would prefer a lighter version of pasta if possible.

There are two scallops and two prawns grilled with a char surface which was slightly overcooked but the taste and texture was not bad.

After having the main course, we have to wait until 2pm for them to bring out the dessert station. So we decided to step outside for some sunshine, fresh air, and of course some exciting horce racing games!

As soon as the desserts were served, we couldnt be more excited since we all have a sweet tooth. Their ice creams are from haagen daz, as far as I remember, there are mango and berries, cookies and cream, chocolate, and vanilla. Pretty standard and classic.

American apple pie

Pretty classic with a nice sweet fillings and butter crust, the warm vanilla sauce was not to be missed.

Tastes just like ferrero rocher, with a crunchy bottom, smooth and hazelnutty texture.

Hazelnut crunch is another very hazelnutty dessert with a thick layer of chocolate coating with some mousse like filling inside.

The mousse was pretty smooth inside and it was an interesting compliment with the crunchy texture. However, it was slightly too sweet to my liking especially the milk chocolate coating.

Hazelnut crunch

A chocolatey basic cake with no big surprises. The taste was pretty predicable and it was again a little bit too sweet to my liking, maybe it's just me who can't handle sweet treats?

Raspberry and earl grey tea cream choux

Raspberry and earl grey tea cream choux

Though the earl grey tea was almost not noticable The raspberry cream filling was pretty sour which I like, the choux pastry was still fresh without being too soggy. It was not bad and I could easily have 1 or 2 of these.

Raspberry and Pistachio Panna cotta

Since I was really full so I didn't get the chance to try it but my friend said it was pretty sour.

Milk chocolate and port wine Creme brulee

The port wine is one of my favourite kind of dessert wine, again, the taste of it was not noticeable but the whole thing was still pretty presentable and enjoyable. The creme brulee itself was smooth.

By the way, they also have low sugar version of NY cheesecake but I personally found it a bit rough and it was a bit too sour to my preferred kind of NY cheesecake.

Cherry jubilee and pastachio ice cream

Cherry jubilee and pastachio ice cream

My favourite dessert so far, the housemade pastachio ice cream has a nice nutty flavour but not too sweet, while the cherry jubilee was prepared freshly by heating it up from the pan, the warm and cold contradiction was very pleasant. The cherry was big and juicy, the juicy just bursts out as soon as you bite into it, and it went nicely with the light ice cream. I would love to have more of it.

I liked that their milk was served warm. Nothing wrong with this coffee and it was actually better than I expected in terms of the flavour from the coffee beans.

The charge is pretty standard,＄430 + 10% service charge during any racing days

When you are full or bored, you may go to the other side of the dining area to learn some basic knowledge of racing and win some fun prizes by answer a few simple question!

After that, you may also join the tour to go and see the horses up close!

Don't forget to snap a photo with the winning horse!

Be responsible and don't bet too much! Otherwise, you may "Win a Candy Lose a Factory"!
