It takes the most basic technique to make any ingredient edible and it takes moderate talent to make decent ingredients taste good; but to make fresh, organic, high quality ingredients taste this epically disgusting, the chef has to be exceptionally incompetent or a complete hack.Although my overall dining experience wasn't as bad as my fellow reviewer "wing0807", I would completely agree with her comments in regards to the quality and taste of food.

Although my overall dining experience wasn't as bad as my fellow reviewer "wing0807", I would completely agree with her comments in regards to the quality and taste of food. Those judges who ever gave the restaurants any positive reviews and awards should learn a few things from her.
I would like to provide a few more details on the 9 (hellish) courses I had suffered:
The starter salad might have been a symphony of colors on the plate but the ingredients made a cacophony of incoherent flavors and textures In my mouth.
The idea may have seemed great in the chef's overly creative mind but chrysanthemum tea did not enhance the taste of lobster nor did the flavor of lobster make the diluted chrysanthemum tea into a tasty soup in any way.
The yellow earth chicken was supposedly a signature dish but it was not cooked properly and staff were not trained adequately to know not to serve raw chicken. It was both disgusting and potentially hazardous to the customers' health.
The steamed salt water fish seemed very fresh but it was ruined by over-cooking and being drowned in a weird concoction of olive oil and Sichuan pepper corn sauce.
In summation, all the dishes were either way over seasoned or completely tasteless.
I have these final advice regarding the restaurant and the "celebrity" chef:
Please please please stop making your God-forsaken special sauces and food pairings that only look good (in your head)! Just work on the very basics of cooking, ie. appropriate cooking time and proper seasoning. With restaurant's unique location, scenic view, high quality ingredients, it is really hard to go wrong.
Other Info. :
The directions to get to the restaurant is impossible to follow at night. And all the steep winding paths and numerous steps through the Ting Kau Village is too hard to negotiate for such a bad meal.
