D8 Hong Kong Dessert

The rating says it all. The name of the restaurant leads you to have expectations that it would be of the same standard as most Hong Kong desserts. However they fell short on expectations and definitely do not offer good value or quality.

A lesson in choosing places to eat and drink — read the reviews before you go inside, not once you have already sat down and ordered. Our experience was not as bad as the previous reviewers but it was an average experience. The counter staff took a while to acknowledge us and then weren’t super friendly when taking our order. We eventually ordered the mango sago — it was ok. It sounds like they need a proper numbering system here as we were almost given the wrong order as well. On leaving we noticed most of the tables had dirty dishes, even though it wasn’t very busy. I would be surprised if this place lasted much longer.

When i saw all the negative ratings on Unilocal,I thought surely this place couldn’t be that bad. I was wrong — it was abominable and I am so disgusted the owners associate this place with Hong Kong — there is nothing Hong Kong about it!
Firstly, the owners are not from Hong Kong. They are mainland Chinese people who know nothing about Hong Kong cuisine.
I ordered tofu-​fa. I’s a pretty basic dessert and it’s hard to get it wrong. What I got looked nothing like the real dish. Tofu-​fa is meant to have clear liquid. I was horrified when I saw this unappetising brown, sewerage water liquid. The tofu was broken up and the surface was flaky instead of silky smooth, as if the tofu were made from instant powder.
I got half the size of a regular-​sized dish for the price of a regular-​sized dish. (Not that I’m complaining because the dish looks like it could give me food poisoning.)
The staff are so incredibly rude. They slammed down my dish in front of me. Then they came with the wrong order and proceeded to slam them down in front of me even though I told them the dishes weren’t mine.
The overly loud blaring music is also some sort of mainland Chinese pop (once again, not Hong Kong) and the staff attempt to shout customers’ order numbers over the music, to no avail.

The worst desserts I have ever tried. I don’t even wanna give that single star to rate this store because it totally sucks!
I come from Guagzhou, China. Our desserts have very very very similar tastes with Hong Kong desserts (you can say they are the same, to some extend).
Then when I tried one of the most famous dessert in both Hong Kong and Guangzhou in this store, I was shocked. The bowl was small, the quantity was small, the ingredients were almost covered by the syrup, and the taste was way much worse than how it should be. And guess what? The price can rob you!!! OMG you guys just can’t imagine how angry I was at that time. It was like something you have known for a long time was totally ruined!!! It really sucks!!!
My bf tried another one, and it sucks as well.
How dare this store call itself «Hong Kong dessert»?! Screw you!!!
