Quality has fallen so sharply that we felt we were in some imitation setup. Used to patron the North Point shop decades ago and came to this one month before the last for a vegetarian friend. It was disappointing but not helpless.
This time even the tea taste stale. We ordered a few dim-sums and a congee. The only virtue for the congee is that we could recognise it’s prepared from real rice.
The Portuguese sauce soya skin roll is actually a thin down bad curry with some over soaked wrapper with tasteless and scarce stuffing.
The pancake was made largely with cornstarch. Ham Shui Kok, one of my old favourites, was depressingly thick skin with loosely packed, and again tasteless fillings. Nothing like a proper bite of that name.
I’ll skip the other disappointments. The only more acceptable one is the fried bun of purple sweet potato, a dessert they put out to us as the first item.
The waiter was rude and spilled water together with tealeaves on my hand, without a single word...
Read moreLovely vegetarian restaurant we went to on our first night in Hong Kong.
It's on Nathan Street - you'll see the small takeaway on the ground floor, then go up to the fourth floor for the large restaurant space (pictured). It's a big space and was pretty packed, entirely with locals other than us. The staff were friendly and helped us out when we struggled to understand our bill which was, unsurprisingly, entirely in Chinesee.
Luckily though, the menu is also in English. We got a tofu dish, lettuce wraps with vegetarian mince filling and a seaweed pancake. As well as that, pineapple and green tea was delivered to the table when we arrived. All the food was delicious. This came to 240 HKD, so it's not particularly cheap but seems pretty standard...
Read moreA big restaurant with huge tables for big families. I removed a star for being put on the only 2-person table literally behind the place where they empty the used dishes. If I only evaluate food - 5 stars. Great fake meats, a HUGE menu to select from, and decently priced. Mains were between 55-85 HKD, appetizers between 30-60 HKD. I ordered a Shanghai style double fried duck bits decent), pan fried veggie scallop and shark fin dumplings (yummy), and this French style veggie seafood mango roll (which I didn't quite like). But yes - the food is fantastic; a veggie's delight. Overall - come here with a big group of friends, order ten different things, and you'll have a great time. By oneself -...
