Beef with bittermelon in black bean sauce @ 喜喜燒臘茶餐廳

Before its refurbishing, it never crossed my mind to try this place out, firstly it looks dirty, secondly, all Chinese cafe food is dirty.

After its refurbishment, I decided to give it a try, I did not even hope for anything, in my mind ALL the cha chan teng's are dirty except May Wongs and Tsui Wah.

Ordered the Sweet and sour prawn chow mein, and beef and bittermelon in black bean sauce to take out.

Took a walk and came back in horror, as the waitress was so inhumane, she had put our bag of food on the floor.
So once again, I already confirmed to myself Chinese food is dirty.

Sweet and Sour Prawn with noodles
The prawn was ok, but it had to be OK for that price, if their top quality food isnt edible, then they might as well shut down for business.
The noodles were hard and crunchy, which is not chow mein at all.
Maybe this is HK style, but in UK, the chow mein isnt like that, its soft.

Beef with bittermelon in black bean sauce:
Beef was not marinated or flavoured, pale in colour.
The bittermelon was not cooked properly.
Worst of all, the black bean sauce had sand in it.

As for service, even though they now wear uniform, the front end ones are so irritating, yelling for people to come in, and causing noise pollution so badly the staff cant even hear what you are trying to order.

I think it also defeats the purpose not being able to get chinese food in a chinese place, because of poor hygiene standards. Just like going overseas and eating western food because of the poor conditions.
