Anna's comment: We have been actively looking for good food with good service and environment together with exceptional low price. We found one at last. A nine-course banquet plus dessert duo cost only HK$2008, averaging HK$133 per person. I am sure this is the best deal in town. Here are some of some most favourite dishes.

Tofu Hot Pot
This hot pot is actually called "salty fish with chicken cubes and tofu hot pot", and came in a set including a bowl of plain rice and a drink. It costed me HK$48, but I thought the shop owner got a net profit of HK$45. Salty fish isn't expensive at all, but I couldn't find more than 1 gram in it. And there was less than 5 grams of chicken. 80% of the whole thing was ginger, garlic and onion. Though it was very hot and kept me warm, but the whole thing was actually tasteless.

Anna's comment: I won some money from Macau casino. At the same time I notice a half-price special deal for shark fin soup, so I took my sister and brother to dinner. We had our favourite dishes of roast goose, mutton hot pot together with crab meat vegetable – a very good balance of diet. However it used up all my winnings.

Use half a can of mushroom cream soup and make it thick. Add in button mushrooms and porcini and pour over plain rice. Isn't it easy, simple, quick and healthy? Extremely ideal for working ladies like me who doesn't have much cooking time, however tired of eating out.
