Champagne without its sparkle @ 尚賓樓

Went to this restaurant which was located in the urban areas of Hong Kong, I had no expectations due to its location and the other branches they have which are located in Kwai Chung and Kwai Fong.

The restaurant was spacious and not busy, probably due location and it being a weekday.

Ended up ordering: tofu and meat patty, spinach with salted egg and preserved egg, raw prawns and bittermelon pot, pork and lotus patty, and steamed fish.

The food was terrible BUT the menu was hilarious, fit for terrorists with fury such as exploding items, madder soup and dam soup!

Pork and lotus patty:
The meat patty was too dry, salty and so oily which you could visually see.

Tofu and meat patty:It was literally quite orange in colour, I was expecting it to taste good, but it smelt of custard.
The patty was sweet as well.

 

Spinach with salted and preserved egg
The spinach was tasteless and the salted egg and preserved egg were on the top.

 

Raw prawns and bittermelon pot
This dish was heated above a burner, and the lid was made of metal.
There should have been a warning because the handle on the lid was really hot.
Basically it was raw prawns boiled in bittermelon soup.
I don’t know why but they put too much black pepper in it and ruined it.

 

Steamed fish:
The fish was nice on its own, but the old oil that was poured on top ruined it.

 

Now the most entertaining part of the review for furious people:

Crazy soup: MADDER soup/DAM soup

 

squid to "EXPLODE"

 

granules and explosions!!

 

decoct means boiling

 

"forcemeat" ?!?!?!?! what animal is that?

 

 

 

It's a posh life being vegetarian!
