I'd noticed the high appraisals for La Bons a while ago...but i'm rarely in the wanchai area so never got a chance to dine there. a few days ago a frd and i decided to enjoy a late lunch here, and as we walked in i was shocked to find the decor and upkeep of the restaurant to such low standards! it was probably just a tad bit better than a 茶餐廳!The 45mins I'd spent there was the MOST HORRIBLE 45mins EXPERIENCE of my life!

a few days ago a frd and i decided to enjoy a late lunch here, and as we walked in i was shocked to find the decor and upkeep of the restaurant to such low standards! it was probably just a tad bit better than a 茶餐廳!
The 45mins I'd spent there was the MOST HORRIBLE 45mins EXPERIENCE of my life! We ordered 2 set lunches:
cream of mush room soup - cream of mushroom soup with no mushroom flavor. i'm confident to say canned soup tastes much better
salad - veggies weren't crisp and it was drenched with cheap ranch dressing
bread & butter - the cheapest bread i've had. it was cold and "airy"
steak - tasteless meat
Pan fried chicken with apricot sauce - sauce was way overdone! it overpowered any taste (if any) of the chicken
Passion fruit tea - black tea with syrup
lychee fruit tea - black tea with syrup
the most disgusting thing was, while i was halfway through my plate of chicken and steamed veggie sides, i discovered a cooked WORM served with my veggies!!! I told the waitress and she didn't apologize for such disgust! i just told them to take it away!
in the end, la bons did not offer any sort of apologies. they did not take the meal off the bill, not even a dessert for their mistake!
