Habitu's Goodbye Carnival, an all-you-can-eat dinner offer, is paving its way to say goodbye to Hong Kong. It is determined to leave a lasting baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad impression to us.

It charges $368 per head or $488 with wine or champagne for 30 items from starters to desserts. You can choose to order as little or as many items you like. It says unlimited servings on the menu, what it doesn't say is the waiting time is also unlimited. The manager explained "Every table is ordering 10+ items, the kitchen is busy. It's going to take longer." He was polite enough, but obviously not customer-oriented. Don't come and tell me about your logistical failure when I have been sitting there for an hour waiting for the hot dishes.

The food was actually not too bad. Except when it got late, and the chefs were obviously upset, the spaghetti and risotto were undercooked, the king prawn was burned. the dessert, to be fair, was nice. and I could tell they were struggling to maintain their classy presentations. but maintaining both à la carte quality and all-you-can-eat quantity are really too ambitious. Why do they have to introduce this unlimited serving dinner plan and scrap their à la carte menu? FAIL~~~~

Can't they leave with a bit more dignity?
