I had a dinner with the members of "Beautiful Ladies' Club" - Joyce, Ah Pik, Ka Yee, Kar Yan and Grandma Waiman (hehehe... actually they are all my secondary school classmates...) - tonight in Langham Place. We had our first round in a Japanese restaurant and then we changed our gathering place to a Shanghainese cuisine at around 9 pm (Hahaha... 2 rounds the same night... we'd better change our name into "Fat and Crazy Ladies' Club"). At first we thought that the Shanghai food was okay. Then we started to "blow water"... We talked and talked and talked and shared a lot for a long time until 11 pm. Then a waitress came and said, "There is a 100-dollar minimum charge policy. You have six persons and you should spend $600. However, you have ordered $385 only."
11 pm and we were all full and we had to think how to order more food for the extra $215!!
The most important point was: the cuisine never told us this policy when we reserved the table, when we settled down the table, when we ordered food, and when we finished our food at around 9:45... The cuisine even did not put up a sign outside and inside the restaurant to remind its customers...
We asked another "handsome" (?) waiter to confirm this policy. His face showed a sign that "many customers asked this question before" and finally when he came back, he said, "The manager waived this policy especially for you." But with a sign in his face that "actually the manager will waive this policy ONLY IF you ask!"
I will put this restaurant into my black list!!!
