When you go to a theme park, there's always the expectation that you're going to pay more for everything. One accepts that, in the same way they accept the accommodation isn't great value. After all, you do pay for the experience and my kids love this place, and I love the art deco old school Disney thing going on.However, poor value doesn't need to reflect poor food.

However, poor value doesn't need to reflect poor food. However, in this case it does.
Mrs Beef Brisket purchased a Hong Kong Style Breakfast (thought having been to HK before, I haven't ever seen one quite like this). Really dodgy spam, noodles in a flavourless broth and one lone (but adequate tasting) chicken wing with a couple of eggs that she didn't mind.
I finished off the noodles for her.
I ordered Pork Buns. Really bland things - I could have purchased something better at a Bread Top or Canto-bakery shop in Australia that was ten times better.
Kids ordered muffins and banana bread. Muffins were a 1-1 split on likes/okays and the banana bread was liked well by little western kiddies.
I suppose, I would like to give this as feedback for other openricers but also to Disney in HK. This food is clearly dumbed down. It isn't a patch on what you can get in a mum n dad shops in Kowloon or HKI. I'm not sure who they are appealing to - if it's to Western palates, it certainly isn't my Western palate, nor my wife's.
Please, I can handling the higher than average cost of food - but it's the bland, insipididty of the food that really irks me. If I wanted to go to an Asian restaurant for dumbed down food, there's a number of Bowls Clubs and RSLs that do food at least as dumbed down and "westernised", and a lot tastier.
Employ a little old dumpling man and teach your cooks how to do it well. If I got this in Australia, I'd ask for a refund.
