We looked forward to dining here, booked a week and a half in advance to try their famous Chicken Fish Maw Broth.
All the excitement we had started to turn into disappointment. When the Broth came it was extremely oily. You're supposed to drink the broth, but it had a very thick layer of oil, and with every taste you can feel like you're drinking oil. The broth was MSG-filled (felt very thirsty afterwards and sleepy). Chicken was supposed to be well braised but instead was very hard, as if they just started boiling the chicken 15 mins prior.
The seafood market was pretty much completely empty with the exception of some various types of clams, obviously dead shrimps (they were all laying on its side in the tank), lobsters were not moving, and in comparison to other hot pot restaurants, the seafood was severely overpriced by at least double.
My girlfriend and I immediately had diarrhea upon arriving home and also the morning after (I am writing this right after both of us took a 20 minute trip to the toilet). The food was unsanitary.
As for the "theme" of being an outdoor market, it's just all a cover for NOT spending money on renovating a poor location.
Staff were inattentive and don't speak Cantonese well. Whatever we're ordering they give us the "huh?!" look. They keep missing our orders and when we asked where certain things were, they just kept saying wait it's coming (we're 60% thro that out meal!!).
Definitely much better other options for much less the price. Can even dine at Drunken Pot (which I consider as premium) for the price we spent. Two person spend: $1100 HKD: Half chicken pot, beef, 2 razor clams, 3 large clams, vegetables, dumplings, fried "sang gun" (sorry don't know english name for it). How in the world did this come to $1100 HKD?
Definitely will NOT dine here again!
