As a fan of Hainanese chicken, I was excited to try this restaurant. However things didn't turn up as I expected.
While we were ordering our food, we also wanted to try their satay, and asked them the type of meat of their satay. The waitress said it's chicken, beef and pork.(2 of each)
As we don't eat pork, we asked him to make it 3 pieces of beef and chicken. (A practice we have done several times at other restaurants without any problems) He said it's not possible, as it's a set prepared by the kitchen. We were surprised, so he said that we can talk to the manager.
When the manager arrived (probably from a cigarette break), we asked him the same question. He said it is possible but we need to pay 40hkd extra. For a 120hkd meal..

Read moreThis was a “go to” and we used to eat here a couple times a month and it was consistently great with good service. The menu has changed with more offerings but some really good dishes taken off the menu, like the fried abalone. Perhaps they have sold out to new owner.
Food was slow to come out with our three dishes each 10-15 minutes apart, which was disappointing. Strangely no wine, at all. Overall food quality was fine but not what it used to be. Fired sigh with garlic was nice. White curry pork was quite bland. Had to flag down to give an order yet were rushed out with bill brought to us - while restaurant was still 80 percent full.
