Stinging nettles used for food in Hong Kong?

As always there is no customer service and and their service is slow.
Came here again and ordered: Chicken with deep-fried Perilla leaves, Fish, Deep-fried tofu with Chiu Chow sauce

Chicken with deep-fried Perilla leaves
This is a popular dish served in most Chiu Chow style restaurants.
The one here was too salty and too oily.
I felt that the deep fried perilla leaves were not real perilla leaves because it gave my tongue a weird sensation.
I suspect that they were stinging nettles because when they are raw, they look the same.

Deep-fried tofu with Chiu Chow sauce:
The tofu was fried nicely and it was a nice golden yellow.
The sauce that came with it was really nice, it had chopped chives in it and there was a slight garlic taste.

Fish:
As always the fish tastes ok.

Crispy tofu rolled sheets:
These were complimentary with the fish, in Chinese they are called “hengling” which means some sort of bell.
I did not hear any noises except that it makes a crunch when you bite into it, however when you dip it in the broth, it becomes soft and elastic.
