This place is all about farm-direct organic food with no MSG. I got it. But does it have to charge that much?It's mostly fairly common Shanghainese / Cantonese fare, but priced about 3 times more than a typical restaurant. It's partly owned by GOD, so you know you have to pay for the wordplay on the titles of those fairly common dishes. When you look at the menu, the price doesn't give you a heart attack. But when you see the portion size, you'd know you'll have to order at least 3 dishes per h

The price of veggie dishes are especially blown out of proportion -- Chinese lettuce on a 8"X4" rectangular platter seeks HK$118, a couple crushed baby cucumbers in white vinegar on a small plate slightly bigger than a soy sauce plate asks for HK$58, and a small plate of broccoli is priced at HK$108. For a cup of regular Chinese tea, such as Pu Er or Iron Buddha, it's HK$48, enough to pay for 5 persons' tea in a Chinese restaurant. We ended up spending HK$400 per head (no alcohol) and not feeling properly fed.
On the up side, I have to admit the food was mostly good (the slow-cooked beef bun was excellent), the decor was chic, and the service was attentive and friendly. I know organic food is good, but i also know how much they cost in a high-end supermarket in Central. I just don't think it's worthwhile to spend that much on a platter of veggie that I can easily make at home in 5 minutes at 1/3 of the price.
This is exactly the kind of restaurant for those who want to order many dishes, pay a lot, but don't want to eat much. It's really up to you.
