It was indeed not my first visit to this Better Ole in Sheung Shui, but the dinner yesterday had only end my infatuation to it. Perhaps only after comparison would one really know the “Better” and the worse.
I ordered a dinner which consisted of the followings:
1. 酥皮焗奶油湯
2.紐西蘭肉眼扒配薯菜
3.Cold coffee
Let’s first talk about the environs of the restaurant, the first thing that came to my senses was the stench of the carpet inside the dingy surrounding, although the cleanliness of the furniture and dinning utensils were still ok. I made my ordering at once knowing that it wouldn’t be a balmy environment to stay for long. The service was ok as the waitress explained quite patiently for the different sizes and thickness…etc of the steaks that I had kept asking for.
The first item 酥皮焗奶油湯 came after a few minutes after ordering, the 酥皮eclipsing the soup was supposed to be crispy, wasn’t it? But it was more like a layer of bread and worse still it was tasteless to neither my tongue or nose. The soup itself was nothing better, it was not thick enough like creamy water albeit the vegetables inside were quite crispy fresh.
The steak looked very potent at first but the infatuation ended right after the first mouthful of anything on the dish. The steak didn't taste like the meat of a cow, it was literally tasteless to be frank. The vegetables on the dish such as the carrots are much overcooked in order to decimate the vitamins inside, only a few small lumps of potatoes could be found on the dish which were supposed to be your last meal before breakfast next morning. I kept on eating only because I didn't want to feel hungry and I needed the energy to walk back home safely!
Courtesy will never be a problem in the restaurant, the waitress which had made my ordering even asked me how did the steak taste, and I told her the truth for the welfare of gourmets coming after me, considerate enough right?
Other Info. :
Last but not least, the manager I supposed to be by dressing even greeted me goodbye at the entrance, and in return I bid him a fond farewell!
