Chinese is not really my favourite cuisine to have unless all the food is up to scratch.The major problem is that in Hong Kong, you would think being in a chinese place you can get good chinese food anywhere, but it seems that only the expensive places serve good food, whereas in England there is so much competition that it tastes consistently good anywhere.Ordered the Abalone and conch set for 6 people, the set consisted of: half a roast suckling pig, 6 baked stuffed conches, stir fried prawns

Ordered the Abalone and conch set for 6 people, the set consisted of: half a roast suckling pig, 6 baked stuffed conches, stir fried prawns with flaxseed, beancurd rolls and pearl dumplings, steamed fish with sweet picked veg, chicken and sharksfin soup, chicken and grounded ginger sauce, scallop and kale fried fried and dessert.
For maxims, I do not have any expectations because the food is just so-so.
However I did expect the conch and abalone to be good as they were the highlights of the set, and the rest of the dishes are just fillers to make the set worth its price.
Roast suckling pig: presented nicely but too fatty.
Baked conches: This was a conch shell stuffed with chopped up conch meat in Portuguese sauce.
The filling was slightly spicy and coconutty, with pieces of conch meat mixed with Portuguese sauce and potato
Stir fried prawn and flaxseed:
This was a medley of prawn, courgettes and flaxseed, slightly oily, but this is chinese food, the taste wasn’t that strong either.
Beancurd rolls and pearl dumplings: both were rather soggy, the pearl dumpling is basically a chiu chow dumpling with translucent skin, however the skin at the bottom was too thick and chewy.
Both tasteless and boring.
Steamed fish and sweet pickled vegetable: same as any steamed fish.
Chicken and sharks fin soup:
The broth was clear and the chicken was over boiled.
Abalone and mushrooms:
The abalones were slightly too hard and overall too much oil in the dish that the lettuce reeked of oil
Chicken and grounded ginger sauce:
This was better than expected, although it was too salty, the sauce was rich and generous.
However it was just too oily only.
Scallop and kale fried rice: too greasy and tasteless
Dessert: red bean sweet soup
Something that I do not eat, so cant comment, but others said it was bitter due to the dried grapefruit peel.
Overall, I only like the stuff conch and chicken in ginger sauce, and next time I reckon I would be better off ordering ala carte items.
