Beware if you ask for hot tea or coffee. Read on to find out why.
So I went there for lunch earlier this week and I was surprised they no longer have the big fruit bowl where you can pick from the counter. They also took Quinoa off the list.

This is probably my sixth or seventh visit, yet the service standards still remain consistently high and worthy of one of the best dining experiences in HK, especially so with a discount for MBonvoy members. We’d probably have paid the same or more for something in Central with no view and half the level of service anyway, therefore such an experience was indeed...
