Knowing the high rating of this restaurant in Bangkok, we visited its newly opened addition in Hong Kong.We ordered the following main dishes:Gai Aob 火焰燒雞: Flame was ignited on the chicken at the table. So if you like special effect on the food, this would be it. The taste was actually no different than any other roasted chicken though.

We ordered the following main dishes:
Gai Aob 火焰燒雞: Flame was ignited on the chicken at the table. So if you like special effect on the food, this would be it. The taste was actually no different than any other roasted chicken though.
Hoy Shell Moo Wan 蜜汁香煎帶子配豬腩肉: The combination was good but again the temperature of the food felt like it had been left standing in the kitchen for a while before it was served to us and that spoiled the entire dish.
Geang Kraree Gai Krob 泰南黃咖喱雞: The chicken was tender but the dish was only slightly warm when it arrived. The curry sauce was not particularly outstanding.
Goong Pad Char 胡椒香草大虎蝦: The prawn was fresh.
Overall, the dishes were satisfactory but the food quality did not stand up to their expensive prices on the menu. The serving portion was somewhat small in general but that could well be the norm for fine dining.
As to the service, I must say, was one of the worst I experienced in town. The waitress was impatient and actually treated the customers with disrespect when taking the orders. And another waitress actually tried to be helpful by taking away the dishes, only that the dishes were only half way through. I would accept that it might be the dim lighting causing the mistake. However, when they did collect the serving dishes later, they forgot to replace them with clean ones.
So, if you anticipate that this restaurant is anything like its counterpart in Thailand, think again.
