I was here for a coworker's wedding. Didn't take photos that night because I was spent my evening doing selfies with coworkers instead.The set up of the place was spacious and very grand. No table was blocked from the view of the stage so we could see the bride and groom. Prior to the banquet starting, there was a mini bar of dim sum for refreshments. However, as there were a number of guests, the dim sum was all gone by the time I arrived and was not refilled. This was noted by a number of my c
The set up of the place was spacious and very grand. No table was blocked from the view of the stage so we could see the bride and groom. Prior to the banquet starting, there was a mini bar of dim sum for refreshments. However, as there were a number of guests, the dim sum was all gone by the time I arrived and was not refilled. This was noted by a number of my coworkers who arrived early.
Food was the usual banquet style meals. The servers showed us the dish, then took it away to be split upon our individual plates somewhere in a corner of the room before being placed before us.
First up was the roast pork. It arrived in a long line of servers while playing a song from The Beatles. That was different as usually they play some Chinese banquet song but the Beatles was a strange change of pace. Pork skin was very crispy and there was a nice layer of meat to chew on. The meat was tasty.
Second was a deep fried shrimp ball coated with salty egg yolk. This was surprisingly good. The shrimp meat was springy. The coating of egg yolk wasn't overly salty.
Third was mixed colored capsicons with razer back clams. This was fabulous. The capsicons were sweet. The razer back clams were intense in flavor.
Fourth was choy sum with braised goose foot. The foot was braised to just fall off the bone. The vegetable was still crunchy and not soggy. The sauce was flavorful.
Fifth was fish maw soup. Texture was not overly gluey. Taste was alright. A lot of fish maw was in my bowl.
Sixth was steamed garoupa. The fish was over steamed but at least really sweet.
Seventh was fried chicken. Chicken was moist and not bland.
Eighth was a steamed sticky rice wrapped in bamboo leaf and topped with a taro sauce. The sauce was good and just not enough so when I ran out, the rice was just bland.
We were also given a bowl of noodles which was alright. Not much flavor.
Dessert was a sweet pumpkin soup with rice and barley along with sliced fruit and Chinese pastries. I didn't have a pastry but the pumpkin soup was really sweet. I wasn't much of a fan.
All in all, the food was well done. Portions were just right in that I could actually eat everything and still felt not overly full. Service was amazing as they cleared plates immediately upon finishing. As this was the evening of the Mong Gok protestors vs police riots outside, the staff helped all guests find a way to leave in as safe a mode as possible. They took the time to find which MTR exits were still in service and which streets to avoid the pepper spray.
I've heard good things about the hotel's Chinese restaurant so after this banquet meal, I would definiitely want to return to try the actual menu.
