Soooo are we sitting comfortably? As I share this experience with you all, which is on par with nightmare on elm street – minus the red and black jumper and the claws, anyway less of that!Let me set the scene walking around looking for venue to eat some great food… We stumbled onto a place called “121BC,” seemed nice enough.Once we sat down we was informed that the menu for that night was etc…etc , being lazy after hard days work we opted for the 8 dishes HKD500 per head.

Let me set the scene walking around looking for venue to eat some great food… We stumbled onto a place called “121BC,” seemed nice enough.
Once we sat down we was informed that the menu for that night was etc…etc , being lazy after hard days work we opted for the 8 dishes HKD500 per head. That was the start of slippery slope to hell!
the 1st dish was okay… consisting of cherry tomatoes, cheese kind of like cottage cheese variety and sprinkle of olive oil and olives - harmless and fair.
the 2nd dish wait for it…. Consisted of cherry tomatoes, cheese kind of like cottage cheese variety and sprinkle of olive oil and olives plus melon balls…. Touch of de ja vu… when I asked what was the difference “chi chi exclaimed massive, me still stratching my head inquired to the difference.… wow a different blend of cheese! Sorry but my taste buds cldnt really tell the difference and to be honest I’ve just had tomatoes plus cheese did I want another round that… sigh
So we sat there fingers crossed we wasn’t going to get another round of …. TOMATOES / CHEESE dish!
Next up was lamb burnt to hell caramlised with orange sauce… it was soooooo sour it gave my butt wrinkles… NO joke I think I consumed two bottles of their sparkling mineral water there and then, on the spot!
By now we was joking about the state of the food with the couple next to us, betting who would survive the next round of fear factor…. They got the steak with mascarpone sauce … SERIOUSLY we couldn’t stop laughing as they said it was like eating charcoal..
Our next dish was… that steak too, visibly the couple next to us had the last laugh.
Being lover of steak not much can deter me from a steak! But this even I couldn’t eat it, even if I had washed it thru and cut of the burnt parts.
The couple next to us already complained about the steak and the only good thing they said was the beer – a consolation prize!
We thought they couldn’t do worse with the dessert… right? Afterall the couple next to us just got good old ice cream, oh noooo we was not that lucky we ended up with cardboard tasting biscuit crumbs surrounded by a frozen yoghurt which tasted like !$#%#%!#.
With our taste buds beaten up and left dead, we gave up asked for the bill. The bill came and we saw the mineral water was like HKD110 for two bottles which is reasonable but I was curious to the source since it came in a plain brown bottle.
It seems they make it inhouse they have underwater spring behind the bar… come on I was JOKING they have a machine which makes mineral water so it seems “chi chi,” the manager tells me… COME on wdf, so u put tap water in the machine and hey presto its mineral water… sure and the machine is perrier… what a load of BS.
The best part… we left hungry and out of pocket with the manager saying things wld be bttr next round and give them another go… please it COULDN’T GET WORSE. Sorry to my colleagues, I will listen to yr suggestions… and yr right. And FINALLY realized why it's called “121BC,” reference to period of food before christ… well I am glad this 2014 ad.
