Bad

What an embarassing evening for me when I took my 9 Hong Kong friends to Duck King at Jaya One for dinner on August 17th, 2014. First of all the skin on the roast pork was really hard, thick and dried and the pork meat was soooo... fat! They were kind enough to change to char siu when I complained though. So came the char siu (I think the cook was annoyed with us)... god help us because the char siu was even worst!!! It was gooey with brown sugared sauce and even fatter.. no exegeration. The beijing duck was quite good but the wrappers were dried and they did not give enough condiments to go with it. The yee-mein that was supposed to have duck slices in it (can't see any) was so brown looking and tasted just as bad ( with too much dark sauce) and again way, way too sweet. Luckily the rest of the dishes went down well enough. My poor guests who always treated me so finely whenever I visited them in HK were very gracious and kept telling me not to feel bad. I am writing this review because I am really shocked and I have never had a disaster meal like this before and lastly the meal did not come cheap either!
