I seldom have such bad dining experiences, but this was a poor, poor choice of mine. Everything seemed to be a disaster from the beginning till end....I shall begin describing my arrival here.So i booked a table the night before knowing that it would be busy on a Friday night. I arrived on time and was greeted by a young girl on the G/F who asked if I had reservations. I said yes and she replied "uhh let me check because even if you have booked we are very full so i cannot guarantee a table for
So i booked a table the night before knowing that it would be busy on a Friday night. I arrived on time and was greeted by a young girl on the G/F who asked if I had reservations. I said yes and she replied "uhh let me check because even if you have booked we are very full so i cannot guarantee a table for you." She then called upstairs to check whether a table was available and ready and then sent us upstairs. Thanks to her, my mood was pretty much ruined by now...
After looking at the menu which was not very extensive in comparison to the newer Xia Fei at K11, we decided we'd go for a couple of dishes and save room for dessert elsewhere, since (a) we discovered the food was not good and (b) it was so cramped and noisy we were literally yelling to hear each other.
So we ordered the following:
Xiao Lung Bao x 2
These were quite cute but the skin tore easily.... The skin's texture was way too soft with no elasticity at all... The meat inside was not great in quality either and was just fine with the addition of vinegar...
Shredded Pork and preserved salted veg with ramen in soup
The noodles and pork was acceptable, but the broth had to go to waste. It was so salty, either by over-seasoning of the cooks (I'm not sure proper chefs would send food out without quality control) or by a misstep in not washing the preserved vegetable properly to get the saltiness out. Anyway, none of the soup could be consumed, which defeats the purpose of ordering noodles in soup.
assorted mushrooms in broth
They used a variety of chinese wild mushrooms that are readily available at your grocery store. None of the more prestigious Chinese dung-gu here, and they fried the wild mushrooms before-hand which made the dish itself gleaming with oil... not pleasant.
When we had enough of the food and the noise, we asked for the bill. It came to about $200 for two including service, and without looking we paid, desperate to leave. That night, I read the receipt and they had charged us $20 for tea (per head I think?), which we did not have at all. We were given only hot water.... I honestly don't know how everything just spiralled down so badly after arrival, but a note to self is don't always judge a restaurant by its popularity.
