This was a meal with about twenty other colleagues. We occupied two big tables right at the far end of the huge restaurant by the window. 

It was lunch-time and understandably extremely busy, but I am so scared of rude Chinese waiters at busy dim-sum places in Hong Kong. They have a bad temper and attitude and no matter how nice you are, they're still going to look angry and act too busy to talk to you.

We kept trying to speed up the pace of delivery of our orders as we only had two hours for lunch. Unfortunately food came too slowly and their bad service didn't make us feel any better. 

The dishes we had: crab soup; deep-fried spring rolls and cha-siu dumplings; prawn dumplings; siu mai; traditional Cantonese-style soy-sauce chicken; fried rice with prawns; barbeque pork, broccoli and prawns, deep-fried fish and green beans; and red bean soup for dessert.

I have to say that every dish was memorable: memorably bad. The pork was terrible. I have never eaten anything that tasted as bad. I can't even tell what it is--expired tofu skin in HP sauce? Most of the dishes were very greasy and left me bloated till the end of the next day. The fish was way too peppery and salty, and I'm not sure the fried rice could be called fried rice. It had a thick layer of cornstarch sitting on top of the worst-quality rice grains. Crab soup consisted of very few pieces of crab meat and lots of flour, starch, chicken powder, salt and sugar. Cha siu dumplings and prawn dumplings were alright, but the prawn dumplings had a very rubbery and thick skin, and no soy sauce was served with it. I did not have the dessert. 

I will not recommend anyone to come here.
