Hong Kong, Hong Kong - Part 3 - Ripped Off At Knutsford Street
After much persuasion from Sammi, decided to pay a visit to Knutsford Street in Tsim Sar Thui (TST as all Hongkies call it). Yeah, we suppose to meet up at TST last week instead of Lan Kuai Fung. Apparently, Sammi called this place the TST's Lan Kuai Fung, thus, must pay a visit lar.
While waiting for Raymond and wife to join, I decided to have a nice beer at this street. Well Sammi, a bit overrated lar, cannot compare to LKF lar.... Just a few pubs and restaurants but nothing fancy lar.
Kow: Hi, give me a beer please.Waiter: Can. Wait ah. Now happy hour.
Kow: How much?
Waiter: HK$38 only per mug.
Kow: (thinking silently: kan ni nah.... so expensive one) Okay lar. Give me one mug.
After 5 minutes....
Waiter: Sir, here is the beer and here is the bill.
I looked at the bill.... Beer HK$28 and prawn chips HK$10
Kow: Eh, I don't want the chips.
Waiter: Sir, where are you from?
Kow: Malaysia
Waiter: Sir, all customers here have to take the prawn chips one leh. Malaysia don't have one meh? This is company policy.
Kow: (Thinking silently: Kan Ni Nah..... policy my ass.). Huh, Hong Kong people drink beer like that one meh?
Waiter: Yes sir. Wait till you go Karaoke in Hong Kong... the bill even higher..... here is the bill sir...
Lucky that the prawn chips is refillable. Thus, almost eat prawn chips for dinner. After another 20 minutes and much frustration....
Kow: Hi there..... one more beer please......
After the damn expensive beer, decided to walk around lar. Suddenly saw this hotel. They, isn't this hotel the one that Sammi brought her clients to.... not bad at all man. This hotel is just around the corner of Knutsford street only. Damn, better than my funeral hotel.
