Been wanting to try the food but never made our way to Yuen Long. Now that they are open in Wanchai I thought I must try.The BF and I went for lunch. There were two price ranges: $180 for beef patty or steamed pork, $280 for the roast suckling pig with Chinese crepes. We had one beef and one suckling pig. Both came with soup and dessert.The soup was a beef and organic vegetable broth. Although the vegetables were fresh, the soup itself was nothing special, and slightly on the thin side.The
The BF and I went for lunch. There were two price ranges: $180 for beef patty or steamed pork, $280 for the roast suckling pig with Chinese crepes. We had one beef and one suckling pig. Both came with soup and dessert.
The soup was a beef and organic vegetable broth. Although the vegetables were fresh, the soup itself was nothing special, and slightly on the thin side.
The beef patty: Came with a half boiled egg served separately in an egg cup. It s basically a steamed (?) beef burger with rice. The waitress claimed it was wagyu beef but because of the way it has been minced and made into a soft patty we couldn't really tell the grade of the meat. The taste was ok, but the worst thing about the dish was that it was not hot enough. The sauce that came with it was cold. Was it supposed to be like that? I really don't know, but it would have been decidedly better if it was warmer.
Then came the crepes. Supposed to be Chinese style, the type with dried shrimps and spring onion etc. mixed with the batter. They made it into a roll and filled it with orgainc lettuce and fried egg. Because all three ingredients had little taste in itself, I found this dish rather bland.
Then we waited and waited for the roast pork. Finally a pork leg came, and I must say it was a huge portion for one. The waitress cut it open to discover that it was still raw inside. Took it back for another 15 minutes. When it came back it was still not completely cooked, but by this time we were running out of patience and decided just to eat the cooked parts, which, to be fair, tasted good.
Dessert: One peanut and sweet potato dumpling each. Quite nice.
The whole time the only thing the waitress kept stressing about was the vegetables being organic and home grown. But so what?
We don't mind paying $200 for 窝蛋牛饭, as long as we feel we are getting our money's worth. Unfortunately we have not been made to feel this way at all. In fact we felt slightly ripped off. The tastes were ok but nothing special. It wasn't worth the premium they are asking for.
Maybe dinner will be better as they seem to concentrate on that a lot more. But unfortunately given our somewhat disappointing experience we will not be coming back again.
One last thing: total bill came to $506 including 10% service charge. We gave them $520, expecting to get the change back, but the waitress kept fiddling with the till and took such a long time to get $14 from it, the BF got impatient and we left in the end. Not that we really cared about the change. We probably would not have taken alot of it back anyway, but not offering it back to the customer, especially with such sneaky gesture, is not very nice at all.
