Overall, the staff was amicable and well-mannered but there was this one lady in the shop (I'm guessing she's the owner?) who acted like she got out of bed on the wrong side. We went on a Saturday afternoon and sat outdoors because there weren't any more tables inside. I tried to order the "terrine du chocolat noir" but that lady insisted that because we were sitting outdoors, they were not going to serve it. To quote verbatim: "there isn't a point in serving it since it's gonna melt anyway." I
We went on a Saturday afternoon and sat outdoors because there weren't any more tables inside. I tried to order the "terrine du chocolat noir" but that lady insisted that because we were sitting outdoors, they were not going to serve it. To quote verbatim: "there isn't a point in serving it since it's gonna melt anyway." I found this ridiculous considering the fact that it's autumn now and it wasn't hot that day. Plus even if we did sit "indoors", the cafe is semi-open i.e. the cafe had folding patio doors and they were wide open when we went so there really wasn't a difference sitting outdoors or "indoors". What she could have done instead is to warn me and let me decide whether or not I wanted a terrine that might melt. Apart from that, she was just sulky and rude.
Po Hing Fong has always struck me as an escape from the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong with its friendly and relaxing ambience but this lady has completely ruined it for me- I did not go all the way to this place just to be spoken to rudely.
