It was one of those restaurants located in Kwun Tong's industrial buildings. We were there around 12:10, the restaurant was basically empty. The seating was comparatively spacious, and decoration was simple and upbeat.
They offered 8 choice of 3 course lunches ranged from $98 to $158. As I would join another friend for afternoon tea later the day, so I decided to order an Avocado with Crab Meat Salad, and my friend ordered the Spring Chicken.
After we ordered the food, the waiter gave us a basket of bread which was hot and soft. Then they served the soup. I could not tell what kind of soup it was kind of bland (I finally knew it was cream of cauliflower when I overheard the conversation of the waiter and the guests of next table).
Then it came my salad. Well, it looked nice, but it was too small and looked more like a starter. I thought they could at least put a little bit more lettuce on it. The avocado was well mixed with generous amount of crab meat. The crab meat was sweet and delicate and tasted great.
After waiting for another while, we figured out that it might take more time to roast the chicken, so we decided to share the salad first. The spring chicken was finally ready after we finished the salad. I had to admit that it did worth the long wait. The chicken was fully cooked but was still juicy and tender inside! My friend liked the sauce but I thought it was a little bit too sweet for me.
Then we ordered the drink. I ordered the mocha and my friend ordered the organic Jasmine tea. The mocha was okay (additional point for the latte art) but my friend complained that the Jasmine tea did not have much flavor and was not as good as the Jasmine tea in some Chinese restaurants.
Overall, we thought the food was good but the service was not so good. The waitress show the table to us just put the menu down and walked away, and did not tell us what was the soup of the day. When we ordered our food, the waitress again did not tell us. Okay I accepted that it may be the communication problem. When I ordered a dessert, the waitress told me that there were 4 choice of cake that I could choose from. After I ordered and waited for 15 minutes, I asked the waitress to check the order, then she came back and said the blueberry cheesecake I ordered was not available. Okay, I accepted that it would be another communication problem.
However, I could not accept that the waiter knew he poured some hot tea on the table when he put the teapot down but he just walked away. He did not clean it or at least gave us some napkin to clean it. I tried a few similar restaurants in the area, and I thought they had the worst service. In addition, the services was slow. I was not sure whether they had enough staff that day, but normally we could finish our lunches within 45 minute, but it took us more than an hour.
