I've been in HK for about 2 weeks now and usually eat in local eatteries around CWB so my expectations for dinner aren't high. I fancied going for some dim sum tonight; you know, treat myself a little; saw the nice rating on openrice for this place and thought why not.First things first:This place has been renovated into a restaurant and no longer serves Dim Sum (they have a couple of Dim Sum like deserts, that's it).The price tag of 40-100HKD should be updated, expect to pay 101-150The appearan
First things first:

The appearance of the place is very distinguished, dedicated reception area and the staff are forthcoming. However once seated my impressions were dampened.
Service is slow! Despite having chosen a main course in the reception area, I was seated for 30 minutes before it arrived.
I ordered the Pork Ribs in Sweet and Sour Orange sauce (something like that).
Presentation is excellent, nicely laid out on a wide plate with some added couli zig-zags. Very impressive. Taste however was nothing to write home about.
[I don't intend this fact to affect my judgement of the restaurant, but I was surprised that the pork ribs were cut perpendicular to the ribs rather than parralel, so rather than a strip of meat attached to a rib, it is served as thin strips of 3 ribs with the meat holding them together. It just means you've got to struggle to get the met between the bits of ribs rather than bitting it of a rib. I haven't seen ribs served this way before.]
Lastly, the final bill was 130HKD (Pork ribs were 65HKD [one of the cheapest things on the menu], small bowl of rice, a beer and tea).
I only had 150HKD.
The change was returned as 1x 10HKD bill, 1x 5$ coin, 1x 2$ coin, 3x 1$ coin.
I'd barely taken the $10 bill that the waiter slowly started retreating with the rest of the change. God knows why I let him get away with it, I had no intention to leave a tip but I just wanted to get out of there never to return again.
